I would have skipped it myself Adrian. You would be correct for thinking it was low grade.

Not just the traffic, you'd want something to tell you that consolidation range was broken first. You would look at it as a sign of possible direction to come.
Hi ya Bundy..

thanks for your help on this and the extra pointers to look out for, much appreciated

H all,
Sorry to go off-topic for a minute but when I'm backtesting on MT4, pressing F12 only displays half the bar (on the very right hand edge of the screen). I can't see the candle wicks and therefore can't tell the shape of the bar.
Is there any way to get it to show the full bar width?
Thanks,

Steve.

Someone made a manual backtest indicator or expert or similar that helps you out there. I have a feeling it drew a box over the top or something to blank the last few bars out.

Don't know it sorry (I have ForestTester), but someone might be able to help you out further.

gbpjpy - fit two 4hr bars = 8hr pin at double top.
rally from retrace of first rally to 2nd top is 400pips - so 400 pips from the retrace gives me my target at about the 134 area

this is of course if we manage to break below the 138 area.

I hit that E/J!

Other than ODL, can anyone recommend a decent broker who offers commodities trading along with lots of currency pairs and decent spreads?
FXPRO has commodities, forex, metals, and some stocks but is only a regular account I believe, no minis.

Steve,
I just downloaded MT4 for backtesting purposes to start next week. I also found this on my monitor. What i did was readjust the size of the window until it left a complete bar. What I mean is, you may not be able to 'maximize' the window to take up the whole monitor...(instead, shrink the window until you see a full bar as the last bar...) hope this helps.

or before.

The ex4 file is not editable so I can't help there. Code is very specific for order of sequence. Placing the code after the alert message should only play after the alert is cleared. Placing it before should play then alert message.

I am sorry.. .I post the wrong file again... attach is the mq4 file.

could you please help me to edit? I really need this indicator using on price action trading... because most of the time.. I am working at office...I have miss some good chance to trade! because I don't have any programming knowledge.. It's really hard for me to edit...

I sincere hope someone can help me pls~ Thank you very much

Hi ya Jim,

Could you please correct me but I was thinking this trade was in way to much traffic so it should be left alone??

Adrian
Your thinking was correct. It was in traffic and I'm sure many left it alone wisely.

For me, it meet certain criteria before the break of my entry (higher time frame Location and S/R levels) and after the break of my entry (hard and fast next bar break)

Not trying to discourage you, and also not saying this beautiful pin bar cannot still work out. Just wanted to point out what it is facing.
And if I may quote James16 or Jarroo, respectively:



Just trying to help, no offense intended.

thanx for the advice bro,i was aware of this level and would have closed some of my possition if i had been here to monitor the trade.this is good advise,not every pin offers the moon!(to be honest thought it would try a bit harder though
currently holding the possition with about 2 pips profit hehe. dont see any reason bail out yet though.although dont like fridays much!
raised my stop to just below the 8900 level. will see?
thanx, jon

yup - been watchin for a break of this TL - took the 1hr pin using the IB on 4hr as another reason

already out for 50pips though as i am also short gbpjpy and gbpusd - so too much profit on the table.

bit sily though as i am fairly certain it will end up at about 635 area
