Regarding the calendar, when looking at GBP/USD chart, it shows only UK news. Could it possibly also show U.S news? It would be nice to see the calendar for both currencies in each cross pair. I know it could be a problem of space to show all on the chart, but may be the old news could delete after a period of time to make space for the next one. Not sure what are the possibilities with this.

Default is to show 3 news (MaxNews = 3)...
Increase this to 5, 10, 15.. it can and will display them all (as long as of course your chart it that long too)

Old news are deleted automatically.. thats called SecOldNews = Seconds to remove Old News

SecUpdateNews = intended to "refresh" fetch the actual data imminent news as scheduled.
Currently for some ODD balls, it work, it dont work, it work, it dont work, it work, it dont work, it work, it dont work,it work, it dont work...
Its driving me nuts!!!!!

What broker(s) are you guys using with MT4? I've heard some are using NorthFinance... any recommendations as to the best broker to use with this script (i.e. broker w/least amt of slippage, etc.). Thanks!

Awesome post BURGER!

You mean, save the settings? Nope. You have to record it mannually with a pen and paper. ie, keep a hard copy journal. You should do that for all the trades you do. Personally I do video capture of my trades as journal - this way, I really see the actual movements pip per pip, retracements and all..
This is an excellent suggestion. Can you (or anyone) recommend a good vid capture program?

I think I'm going to use this technique myself.

Thanks!

May be it's because you are putting the script direct in the experts folder instead of in the folder Experts/Scripts ???
pipstart thanks for giving out time to attend to me. i actually downloaded the script and placed it in the expert/script so i wonder why it's not working on my platform.
and the funny thing is that it is available in the script section on my platform.

is anybody experiencing what i'm experiencing here?
can anybody give me the solution to this??

does your clock freeze 1min before the news and you are getting this message ("Trade Context Busy" )if it does try to restart your platform and open up a new chart that worked for me i have to do that all the time if i dont then the trades will not work gl.

Try doing this:

1. delete the script from within MT4.. then double check inside the folder
2. restart MT4 - confirm its not there
3, close MT4
4. download another copy and save it in the folder.. check to confirm
5. run mt4 confirm if its there

this whole exercise is to ensure you get a fresh copy

try it again and post what happen

SecStartOrder 60 = 1 minute before news.

The "freezing" when it starts placing the order shouldbe normal. Its because PLACING ORDERS TAKE A LONG TIME! If you are getting longer than 15 seconds, then ensure that you have an earlier SecStartOrder (>60) and ensure SecModifyOrder is > 30 too...

BUT if you are getting the Trade Context Busy, then you are doing something else thats causing the broker to clamp you down!

mniemic..BK limit some lottage for real and no limit on lottage for demo account thus making it free to used for small timers...but if u want to play with more lottage u should PM him for the license..

i personally bought the license coz of the free script is limited to the small lottage size...

and im happy with his service..seriously..u can PM him and asked for it..he even teach u his own strategy playing with the script when it comes to certain factor that he didnt discussed here...

Did you close out the trade manually, or let the Script do the work?
