How reliable is the T/P in MT4 Navigator. I have noticed that the PA goes beyond the T/P figure that I specify and nothing is triggered. This does not happen everytime. Has happened more than once but even once is too much. My computer was on and running and I have a demo account. Has anyone else encountered this on a demo or live account and what was your solution.
Thanks.
At what TP are you refering ? Any trading platform have built in Limit TP, Stop TP etc. Make shure that your spread is covered...Take look at candle open close price...what are bid ask prices. If it is related to Cavemanager it's working very well. Hope this helps.

A couple of things to watch out for. First the Bid/Ask Price, If price just touchs your T/P level the take profit order will not be filled. Price must go thru your T/P level to trigger. The second item is that you might not get your order filled if price is moving quickly or just barely goes thru your T/P level then retraces.

This is not some retail store where you can buy and sell exactly when and where your want. (Well maybe a lot of MT4 broker's are) LOL. You must get the feel of your brokers fill rules and plan accordingly.

Good Luck

Thank you for your reply. Your explanation makes complete sense. On a couple of occassions it just touched my T/P target and on others it went past by a couple of pips. But on all these occassions the price then retreated.
Thanks
Hi Folks,
I had to change MT4 platforms today. FXCM has a new version which has proven to be much more reliable than the original version. This one is powered by Boston Technologies. Anyway, I need confirmation on the SDX-TzPivot_v4 settings.
FXCM says that the GMT offset is +1 (the server is located in London). Can somebody tell me what should be placed in the first and second setting/value windows. Right now, they both say 0.
Thanks in advance.

You may find that FXCM offset is actually GMT/BST +1.

This means that during the winter time offset from GMT is +1, but during the summer time it is offset from BST (British Summer Time) by +1, making it offset from GMT by +2.

You would then have a template with winter and summer settings if you want to be really accurate.

Here is a recent link on setting the values:

Hi is sumbody trading this system with m3 time frame?
Quoting MissPips
...there is something I fundamentally don't understand about volume analysis. If I understand correctly, the price of a forex instrument is determined by all the transactions in the whole market (the interbank market which is huge, the various retail otc brokers etc) plus or minus a few pips for your broker's manipulations. But if you are trading at one broker, you can only see the volume for that broker, which is a tiny fraction of the market...So how / why volume analysis actually work for forex?
Quoting jharteam
Thanks MissPips, such query has always been on my mind ever since someone (not TH) started using 'volume analysis'. For all these years, from being FX broker (human not electronic platforms) for banks to being a full time trader; volume is something that will never work when it comes to FX trading, well to me anyway.....
Quoting traderathome
All very true, MissPips. The consensus is that ANY brokers volume data feed is "representative" of the market as a whole....a piece of the pie if you will, but a proportional piece of the pie. Is it true? Who knows. I have even found different indy results from different servers at the SAME broker! ....different, but not materially so....not so as to change any trading decision made on volume.
MissPips, jharteam,
[email protected] was right. since we only have our broker's volume, we only trade the "piece of the pie" --- we trade the volume (& charts) that we see. Volume is no different from all the indicators that we use, in the sense that the indicators are based on/derived from our broker's data.

if u wanna learn more about volume analysis (additional tool for better trading), u can't go wrong by reading the posts of some the best (in Volume Analysis, & probably trading in general): Islander, malcolmb14, Dr.Geppynius. u can also check out ShamusFamous's VSA thread. while at it, read free ebook of Master the Markets (post #1 VSA thread).

Like the james16 method, THV can work with other methods. it's your call. As u can see, [email protected] has been using volume with THV.
Hope this helps a bit
I think that the daylight savings are taken in account in the coding, Traderathome could confirm that when he comes by, as he created/modded that indi.

Hi, guys!

I've got a problem - sorry if it was already explained earlier - this topic is really huge.

Look at 9.35-red picture.
The M1 fast dot is green but M5 fast is red (I didn't go long)

I closed my MT and opened it again. Now look at 9.35-green picture

Both M1 fast and M5 fas are green. What should I do to have the right view of the market all the time? THX!

Hai bro, it also always happen to me..
but, you must know to solve it..
what i doing, when it happen...
you must change or klik at another timeframe and go back to timeframe
you used before...
maybe sometime your connection is slow or broker server is slow..
so the indicator cannot read it...

When see you screenshoot,i will scalp long when THV Trix change to green colour....
Good Luck bro..
You close and open MT4 platform initializing the indis again. It was explained before few times - 5min candle=5 1 min candles, so before it close it can repaint that bars, after it close its no longer repainting


Btw: TradeAtHome - is pivot ver 4.7.2 the newest one?

Not exactly. My screenshot was taken over twenty minutes after that red box and it was still repainting.

Anyway - thanks for help. I'll be testing it.

Thanks Cobra ... interesting to find out

Just as a matter of interest Alpari UK is definately GMT/BST +1 - I have an account with them.

Have a profitable day ...
Hello the system is super duper , thank you very much.

Anyone know how I can move the pivot labels to the right of the chart ?

Thank you

Learn something difficult and earn real money for ever, a lot.
I'm been scalping the EURUSD using this system for the past couple of days and I'm surprised at how easy it is to pick up 10 pips here and there. Combined with my own levels I feel that I now have a complete scalping system, thus there is no need to reinvent the wheel.

Thank you very much!!!

When you took the first screenshot, if you had looked at the 5 chart you would have seen that the 5m fast trix on that chart was red at 9:35. I don't trade the GU so how do I know? I looked at the previous bar - the 9:30 bar, and that one closed red at 1.6296. The next 5 min bar opened at 1.6297 and the low of that bar was 1.6296. So we can assume that in the first 1 minute of that bar on the five m chart, the fast trix was red since the low was the same as the low for the previous bar where the fast trix was also red.

When you opened and closed your mt4, you initialized the indicator. When the indicator is initialized it no longer retains a record of what happened in real time. If you, for example, reopened it at 9:37, by which time price had gone up, the fast trix on the 5 m chart would now be green for the 9:35 bar, and the mtf indie would have no way to know that at 9:35 it had been red but had turned green at 9:36. Since you in fact did the second screenshot 20 minutes later, the mtf trix would only know the final result for that 5 m bar, which was green, and would put that result in all five 1m bars (9:35 to 9:39).
