Hi, thought i'd jump in here. Good thread Tony.

I attached a few indicators. Straddle - I just use it to open position with sl,tsl,tp as soon as I hit the buy/sell button. You have to manually click buy/sell when 5sec. 10 bar spikes. These are not my indicators. All you do is load the straddle like you would any EA - goes in expert file.

straddle setting
shutDown.NOW false
enable.news.trading false
place.straddle.immediately false
Just set up your sl,tsl,tp

If you have ECN broker/five digit, add a zero

second is a support/ resistance indy.

I reckoned that if banks are going to move a shed-load of cash, it would appear as a large tick. So I made a small indicator that will give an alarm when the tick size reaches a certain value.

Just save to your experts folder, attach to your charts and set your tick trigger level. Saves looking at the screens for hours and you can get on with your life. The size of each tick is shown in the corner of the screen and an alarm sounds when your trigger tick size is reached.

There are no trading functions attached to this version. It's just a "heads-up" alarm so that I don't miss any entries. I can then see if I want to jump in or not.

Let me know if the tick idea works. If not, then wltams 5sec indicator might be a way to go.

Peace

Patrick

Sweet thanks...

Best to test it in the new year... I have stopped trading now. Just my feeling that the market is dying out for the holiday period.

But I would like to thank everyone on here especially Tony and Stinger... Made many many pips with this system... I cant wait till Jan...

How do you install the tick alarm? Like an indicator?

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year!!

Hey Sim,

I use MT4 for my other trading method. So will just wack it on to see how the alarm goes off... I usually only trade the first 20-30mins of London Open on this method....as I have to leave to go to work.. So see if the alarm rings off the same time if I have an entry. If it does then I can continue using this at work, as I can leave MT4 open and wait for the alarm instead of staring at the screen all day and then not doing any work. Thats my plan anyway.

Oh and I only use Oanda and MT4 as demo accounts - I trade via IG spread betting here in the UK I dont have to pay anything for it. Taxes etc

Owch.....that looks mad - was a bearish bias for an hour or more after the open. Hmm

Yeah that's a good idea I often thought it's a simple way to avoid paying tax once you're past the 9k income thing which you are as you have a job!

So you don't see much of a delay in pulling the trigger right by switching applications in the last seconds?

I'm from Dartford in UK too! BTW are you named after ozzie b from MoreFire crew? lol

LOL HAHA how old are you? nah I was ozzieb first funny you should say that hes performing at club 107 here in Crawley where I am boxing day.

Yeah that tax free stuff comes in handy when the big £££ roll in. Trust me with this method it does!

Not really, I have dual screens at work leave one on the trading platform, my boss knows I trade as long as I get my normal job done he doesnt care so its all good for me.
