Cool coding. How did you do mini chart? The coder in me is curious ..... lol ...

The scale has '.' for each pip and '-' for every 10 pips to give an idea of bar sizes. Smaller time frames have both '-' and '.'

Larger timeframes only have '-' ie every 10 pips

Deprive a man of everything and you give him nothing to lose.

Not my broker, and mine has been about 1.2 on EJ like almost always. I would call them because it doesn't appear to be widespread, but wide-spread, lol.

So I wanted to do some trading from home, I tried adding CaveManager to my charts and turned on the expert advisers but got the frown face. Any idea what would cause this? Is it because I have the same MT4 account logged on from another terminal using the EA?

Look at your journal and experts tab and see if there are any error messages there .....

No visible error, although restarting and re-attaching without any trades in progress seemed to fix it.

Wow, that's a nice improvement.

Let me try it out tomorrow to give feedback.
I have better visibility on candles but bars do the job for the moment.

Quoting stratman
OK ... here it is.

Made it so you can add it multiple times ... customise the size, number of bars etc ... see the shot below where I added 3 charts! (Overlay on THV)



I can make candles ... but later ... I need to concentrate on my trading skills for now. As I improve as a trader, I hope to create more stuff like this.

Recalled you asked for recommendations. These are the settings I use on the EUR/USD M5 TF. You may want to try them.

TP: Target next pivot level (I don't use mid-levels. Open trade only on closed candle beyond pivot level if PA is close to it)
SL: 15
NoLoss: 8

I do use trailing stop of 25 as well for 50% of my lot size to either ride a big move or break even if PA reverses. I make no attempt to intervene once I hit first target level.

One more point to note, do turn on Ask line for the chart. We buy on Ask price and Sell on Bid price. So for example, if you do a Buy, Bid line has to go above pivot level. For a Sell, Ask line has to go below pivot level. Reason is simple, EA closes a Buy position we took with a Sell order at Bid price and a Sell position with a Buy order at Ask price. This will ensure that you are clear of the pivot level when opening a position close to pivot levels.

Nearly forgot to put this down. I trade with the H4 analysis. I do not just follow Coral. Only when Coral is in agreement with H4 trend. That is the reason why I do not use mid levels for pivot. When I do trade counter trend or counter Coral (when PA is far from Coral and is ready to come back to the median), I do not use CaveManager. I turn off expert adviser and manage the position manually.

Not that much work ... only took me 2 days ... I make liberal use of reuseable code.

As an example, this is my whole start() function:

Inserted Code
 
//+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| indicator start function                                                                                       |
//+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start()
{
//----
   if ( !UseMultiMode ) //UseMultiMode=false
   {
      if ( gBarTime[0]!=iTime(gSymbol[0],gTimePeriod[0],0) )
         Reset(0);
      
      Update(0); 
   }
   else
   { //UseMultiMode=true
      for ( int chartNum=1 ; chartNum<=60 ; chartNum++ )
      {
         if ( gTimeFrame[chartNum]!="" )
         {
            if ( gBarTime[chartNum]!=iTime(gSymbol[chartNum],gTimePeriod[chartNum],0) )
               Reset(chartNum);
      
            Update(chartNum); 
         }
      }
   }   
//----
   return(0);
}

Sitting on very strong support on H1 and H4 ... D1 could be showing a pull-back before continuing on the upside?

I missed that short that you can see on my chart ... too busy programming!!

I'm waiting aside for the news to finish as well.

I'm tempted to upload my latest version of my indicator, but seeming this is not part of THV, I don't want to upload it here in case some of the team object.

Is there a thread for uploading indicators like this?

Hello everyone,

I'm new to FF forum. I was given a link to this thread from another forum. woww 13,300+ posts. That's the biggest thread I have ever seen.

I started with the first post of this thread and downloaded manual, indicators etc.

May I know whether everything in the first post is up to date please?
As you know reading through 13,000+ posts is going to take me weeks if not months. Could someone recommend key posts # that I should definitely read please?

Thanks cobra team for the THV system. I will give it a try and let you know how it works for me.

Just did 3 quick scalps on GPDUSD on 1 min using THV to confirm small Pinbar shown on M15.

I'm buzzing again ... check the pic below (account history shown to prove trades). Did initial up move, then countertrend trade at top, then another small up!

Made a total of 72 Pips!!!

GU just shot up more than 80 pips on news. Wow! Imagine if you had use the usual news play of having 2 limit orders for both directions. But not my style to trade the news. lol ... (ops didn't see your post until I sent mine)

You can always open a new topic to share and discuss how best to use your indicator.

Check with Cobra to see if he is ok for you to release it here. Cheers.
