pivot points messed up on IBFX

Something happened yesterday and my pivot point indie ###AutoPivot (I found it in this forum) has unreasonably low spread between supports and resistances. I noticed yesterday a big gap on some currencies, is that related? The same indie on ODL looked normal

Any ideas?

No I am not. I noticed it gives the same very small unreasonable separation between support and resistance so I just turned it of

I have this problem with auto pivot point plotters. When the new day begins, the pivots move very close together and are all wrong. I just click on it, click edit and OK. Re-loads correctly.

Not exactly sure what your problem is but maybe this will help? It allows you to change at what time they reset. I had a friend using IBFX and she said that their new day started at 7 pm EST vs. 5 pm and it helped her out.

Looks like you need to delete your history. The data goes from May and then skips to November... that is probably why you are having problems... Run a forum search on how to delete data/history and then redownload it because something is messed up there.

Then try saving your indicator/template/profile folders to another part of the hard drive and the use add/remove programs to delete the mt4 installation and then reinstall it.

It's already not realated to my initial question, but I'll ask anyways:
reinstalled mt4, now can't login to my demo account. it says invalid but it's not true as I run it on my other computer and have all the passwords and acount name. how do I login to my demo after I reinstall?

Not sure with IBFX but are you making sure you are trying to log into the demo server? If you are and it still isn't working, why not just create a new demo account?

If you can not login to your newly installed platform;
Check to be sure you are using the same demo server.
If it still does not work, why not copy the working platform from the other computer over the newly installed platform? The complete folder. Note - I have not done this on Vista because none of my computers use Vista.

I am using xp

I CAN't login to newly installed platform? How come? Also, I have no option selecting the same server: on my other computer it's demo server, on reinstalled it's demo2 only

Are you really THAT stuck on an old demo account. I dont understand why you are so against just making a new demo account. IBFX will gladly give you more funny money.

If you do not want to copy the whole folder over just copy the server file over. They are stored in the Config folder which is a sub-folder of the Interbank FX Trader 4 folder. Server files have a *.SRV extension. Accounts are server specific so you can't login on demo2 if your account was created on a different demo server. Re-start the platform to see the newly copied server.
