Hi Thatwasme, Brilliant job on the indicator, works a treat Looking at Aleks list of trades he trades a lot of different pairs, can you tell me how to apply the profile to the other pairs which Aleks trades please. Thanks edit : PS: can someone tell me why my post is all scrunched up ?
Open a 4hour chart for the one you want a 12 hour to run. Then place the period converter opt indicator on that chart and then choose a period multiple of 3.

Then minimize the chart and then go to the file tab and select open offline.
go through the list until you find the 12 hour chart for the currency you selected and then double click on it.
Now you can add the PCCI_ indicator and the ATR for v1 indicator to the 12 hour chart. Remember that the 4 hour must not be closed, because it feeds the 12 hour chart.

I did not create the period converter. It is available from MQL Code Base.

FYI,
If you load the Period Converter Opt indicator into Metaeditor, you will see instructions on how to use it.

For some reason it isn't working on my MT4(I have IBFX mini account)...in history it gives the error" invalid database header for EURUSD 720"...

Can this be fixed?
Beats me, I use IBFX and it runs fine.

Do you have a mini account or standard account?

I have a standard account, but I just loaded up a mini with IBFX and it all ran fine. So, it has to be something on your system.

I am not going to comment further in this thread, because that would be off topic to the OP and take the thread off track.

Yes, time zone matters but if we use TS then it can be easy corrected.

Thanks, and what time zone is the correct?

Unfortunately I use MT4, and I do not know how to correct the timezone, can anyone help in this, or is it not possible?

I still don't understand why it gives me the invalid database header for eurusd 720 error...also it gives the error "ATR for v1:label for setindexlabel function must be a string.
I have tried deleting and reloading the indi's and profile but it still doesn't work....anyone else running into this problem?

Please see my pictures, they show time zone I use. I calculate their for few minutes after closing of a H12 bar. Used time zone works pretty good.

Aleksey, sorry, but I cannot see on your charts the time zone. Perhaps we misunderstand each other, I mean by time zone the shift of beginning of the day compared to Greenwich mean time. I think it can be importand because 12H candles looks differently on a chart in the US, Europe, China etc.

I mean time of posts corresponding to pictures so you can compare it with time you use. Next in turn H12 bar appeared 50 min ago so I make an analysis at 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. GMT

He is on Eastern Standard time. If you want to match his time, open an account with a broker on NY time zone. I know of no way to change the broker time zone in MT4 or convert it.

Yes I agree. AmiBroker can do it just fine. I actually have this running on Amibroker built with 1 minute data with a EOD at 17:00 EST and am matching your chart exactly. However, the reason I posted the MT4 is because not many have AmiBroker or Trade Station.

Looks like a very high prob method. Thanks again for starting this thread.

I should add that signals mostly appear on the closing of a day so a little difference in time of an analysis (within some hours) is not so bad since the volatility around that point is weak as a rule.

And can you please recommend a broker from the EST time zone that has unlimited demo account and uses MT4 platform? (I need it only for charting, not trading).

I can recommend to use TS for analysis only. It has much more resources in contrast to MT4.

Ok, but TS is not free, or is it? And it also requires some kind of data feed, so a demo account.

But now I am thinking that there isn't even any problem with my time zone. If your 12H candles open at 5:00 and 17:00, then my time is 11:00 and 23:00, and exactly that is when my 12H candles open. So maybe I see the same chart?

Sorry, I am quite confused with this time zones, since I do not even know where my data feed comes form. I just installed mt4 from the first website I found it, and it started todisplay data, but I do not know how

Anyway you can make the backtesting to determine how the PCCI_M indicator works with your data or compare with the posted USDCHF chart

FXLite is a mt4 broker that utilizes EST so it will be quite similar to TS.
