Hi Alan

It happened to me as well with previous custom indicators and EAs. I was told it could happen if you download some EAs and use it on the MT4 platform that isn't the latest version. Please make sure you do have the latest version of the MT4 platform downloaded.

I've just started reading the posts and rules of systems and I am impressed. I need a longer time frame system to complement the 5min system I am using. Therefore I am compiling a summary document with all the important rules of this system with examples. I'll give you a pm.

Brian - can you please tell me which version is the "Dibs for Dummies" - that is not the version that I have installed.

Thanks!

Dear Aad,

Would you kindly see if you could add another parameter so that no matter what the open price at 6AM is, it will show a line for the inside bar on both ends. Many thanks.

Peter
You mean the horizontal Buy/Sell trigger lines?

Please note that the lines only show up in accordance with the DIBS rules which depends on where the day opened. If the day opened up and price is up then it will only show Buy IB triggers, if the day opened down and price is down it will only show Sell IB triggers.

If price has been above and below the open price it will show both Buy and Sell IB triggers accordingly. I cannot divert from those crucial DIBS rules that were presented by PeterCrowns.

If you have further concerns please PM me instead so that we don't distract this thread. Thanks...

Also..... I tried using the Triggerlines V2a and it crashes my MT4 on contact. Any suggestion from the author. All help is greatly appreciated!!
Please make sure that you delete any other DIBS Triggerlines indicator from your MetaTrader indicator folder and clear the cache files. If that doesn't work please update your MT4 to the most current build. This problem should not be happening so please do the above...

Is anyone aware of any of the DIBS MT4 indicators which work on H4 charts and which also disregard open and close times (i.e. that indicate DIBS setups on the H4 regardless of the time?)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

- Zer0
Perhaps the "DIBS TriggerLines v2a (AAD Mods)" indicator is what you're looking for (it regards the open time though). Download it and make sure its "ShowMoreTimeFrames" is set to true. Then set the "DibsOpenHour" to 0, or 4, or 8, or 12, for use on the H4 period...

Hi there, i was wondering if someone experienced with dibs could help me. Say for instance we get a dibs set-up above the daily open and are only looking for buys, however the lows are taken out first before taking out the highs. Would you leave the stop in it's original position or move it to below this bar which took out the lows? Thanks.

The EURUSD DIBS trade was very profitable today. The inside bars have a blue line through them. I have been studying all of the inside bar threads that I can find.

I have previously explained the .mq4 file format issue, I also just recently posted what can be the cause of the MT4 crashes. Update to the latest MT4 build and delete the indicators that are in the MT4 indicators folder (make sure your MT4 is closed during such a process), now start your MT4 and after a minute close your MT4. Now put your indicator files back.

I have not experience a single crash with the indicator that I posted, I tested it sufficiently before releasing it. Had I encountered problems I would of not released it, so please check your MT4 installation because the .ex4 file format is not the true culprit...

Sometimes closing metatrader, deleting the mqlcache.dat file in the indicator folder and restarting metatrader resolves these issues.

DIBS STOP LOSS

I keep my SL in the 7 - 10 pip range. This allows me to better manage the money. Keeping the losses to a "known" constant rather than allowing the range of the inside bar to dictate the loss gives me (the feeling of) more control over the trade. Why lose 30 if I can only lose 10? If price starts heading back towards my SL exit, I can always reenter the trade at the SL point or the original entry. I mean no disrespect by this post.
