I'm with CMC, but I use MT4 for charting. I thought I'd see if CMC allowed me to save charts. It seems like I have a slightly bigger problem though, as whenever I open a new chart, the entire background is grey with no chart!

Just stopping in for a minute before I head out for some appointments.

I see she just took off at 9:00 after Geithner had some words to say.

Caught some pips, but not thriller because it wasn't in the plan.

So I'm done trading for today, need to step back and review my plan. :nerd:

As far as EO, I know he is busy at work otherwise he would of chimed in already.

Great job on all who made pips.

HOLLA

Right just spoke to the nice man! There's no direct way to do it they say. However they told me i can email it to myself.

Might be able to do something then...i'll have a fiddle so to speak.

I think someone mentioned they like attaching fib numbers to the previous day's range. Here's an indicator that will do it for you in MT4.

Set the days to look back for low/high to 1 to look for yesterday's low/high.

I am glad for you, mate.
I'll watch the Mistress closely later. If I like her, I'll join your "swingers" club.
Are you gonna be jealous?

I was with CMC before and realised the execution time taking too long, sometimes 30 seconds or so after you clicked, the good price at time of click was passed and you end up with bad price ...

I have talked with someone about this and they have the same problem too. I closed my account with them and suggest people think about using another broker which provide instant execution time, IG is good at this.

Good luck
Many happy pips returned ...

I can't say my trades take that long to place, although I do think I will be moving away from them, as their platform, from a user experience perspective, is awful. It's very dated, and hasn't moved with what technology now allows, but I suspect they get away with it because of a big marketing budget which gets people to check them out.

There is a Data Window, Click on View, Data Window or Ctrl + D. If you put your mouse over a candel, it tells you value at that position in details, including MA values. Not sure if this is what you are looking for.
