Do yourself a favor and stay away from Gold, Crude Oil and GBP/JPY.

i was wondering why people called it the beast. then i practiced trading it. i would have had a margin call big time. seems to have a mind of its own.
Than I found a pretty good trade on G/Y, took it.
When I was ready setting my SL of 150 Pips I looked on my platform and the trade wasn't there any more.
SL hit.
Never again, that is a really beast
and nothing for old Cobra.
1: No, unfortunately. I use Oanda's charts when scalping.
My first post here
but have been using THV since version one. Great work by Cobra and the team and getting better all the time. The help and know how here is truly amazing. The good karma will bring you all great rewards.Has anyone tried the Spyderfx API link between MT4 and Oanda? Theoretically this will allow use of MT4 and THV with an Oanda account?
Best regards,
Macman

MT4 won't give me any 5 seconds chart, though
and I can check the M1 setup on the demo and trade on the other one - #5,112

About a year ago I had the same feeling like you, I was pi$$ed off with the E/U and said I will try another currency cause E/U is boring.
Than I found a pretty good trade on G/Y, took it.
When I was ready setting my SL of 150 Pips I looked on my platform and the trade wasn't there any more.

i will use the trade simulator on the aud/usd to see what's it like to trade it. the spread its the same as the eur/usd. and the aussie can't move their own currency without help from japan it seems. its not moving at all. asian open just now. and it goes up.
getting ready to the e/u its below the neck line.

After downloading and installing the latest zip file from page 1, the Market Hours no longer appear on my charts. I'm using the template from the zip file, and yes the THV3 Market Hours shows in the Indicator list.
I opened a new chart, and attached only the THV3 Market Hours indicator, but it does not appear. Any ideas ?? Thanks.
In the new zip file the market hour indicator is set to Sydney open 24H, that means that you have nothing from the market hour indi on the chart from NY close to Sydney open.

I've read that API isn't a free service there? Anyway thanks for the info, will investigate.

!Will certainly look at manually using THV info on my Oanda account, actually never thought of that

Yeap. Read those posts and have been trying very hard to proof you right.
Was trying to use THV with HULL REPLACE for the H1 TF but gave up after noticing that THV catches the same S/R that I marked out. But it took too much time to monitor. With my usual charts for the H1 TF, I just have S/R levels with no other indicators at all except a 34EMA.
That's why I told myself to just use standard S/R (Demand and Supply) for the H1 TF and spend the rest of the time (instead of waiting for those levels to hit) on M5 and M1 with THV to squeeze more pips out of the market.
THV is really impressive. I am from Singapore and I trade AUD/USD and EUR/JPY in the Asian session and an additional EUR/USD in the /Frankfurt London session with THV.
Yes. Even CaveMan can do it .... lol...

Welcome caveman!
Sorry for laughing, but I told Cobra and all that the THV is so easy even a caveman could do it!

AFAIK using the Spyderfx platform costs a commission of 1/4 pip or something - thing is Oanda have the tightest spreads and I need all the edge I can get
