I've a question of my own for anyone who can answer it. I notice some people post charts which show how much time until the end of the current bar in the top left corner. What is that? How can I get that on my MT4 charts?
Hi D,
That is an indicator. Here is one that does the same function.
Copy it into your Expert/Indicators folder and then restart your platform. You then open up Navigator Window and drag the indicator onto the chart.
Hope that helps.

Thanks CY and Mike.

Loving this great thread. Working my way through from the start of it -- only about 200 pages in out of 5,000 + -- as well as keeping up with the latest posts. Worth it! Can feel myself getting a handle on this FX lark.

Cheers,

D

Mind you the close to the 4hr bar on the IBFX feed is much stronger,

Bar shape is just one part of the equation. That bar would still be untradable for me. 1.03 is a VBRN and I for one would have liked something more solid than what we currently have. makes me feel a trade would be vulnerable at the PPZ overhead. And then again there won't be many instances where one feed shows an indecision bar and the other gives off a fantastic BUOB.

Nice trade aserb

Hope you already closed it, or at least put your stops to BE, cause it seems that now its going up to the moon...

IMHO if it closes as a BUOB above the .950 it will go to .965 or maybe we can see the VBRN 1.000 ... it would be nice to see some bearish PA at that level

well if we look at the technicals i'd say broken ppz levels which caused the price to go higher... and if we add the volatility beacuse of the news we get this... lol..

If you look for example the EU, you can see a consolidation area just before the massive BUOB, and then when it was broken, together with the previous day high, which was also the previous month high, the price just catapulted up

thanks

maybe we will see a retracement of that massive BUOB... i see the area around 1.3200 as a good location for going long again.... but thats just me..

Hey DD,

Attached are my thoughts on FTA. The biggest thing to worry about with these 2 stocks is the strong recent up move. Can these pin bars reverse the trend?

If you have an Intel Mac, download Mac OS X x86 20060611, otherwise download Mac OS X PPC 20041107. You just install the package in the zip file.

Hi Scott,
I have down loaded the MPlayer extended from No 1 below but don't know how to install the codecs
Infact I am not sure what to do on the site at Sr No 2 below:-


1. Download MPlayer here:

2. Install Mplayer essential codec package.

Your guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks Jarroo

I have seen these little breakout DBLHC / BUOB work so many times at this precise location (after the Head + Shoulders / Triple bottom)

It was not an A setup but I was fully aware of the risk. It just looked right.

Thanks J16

Its all part of the story . .when the story makes sense . ."it just looked right".

It just shows how Price Action can be used to fit a certian setup or formation and bring it altogether.

Indicators show the past. Price Action "Indicates" the future.

Nice one ppfx.


I am seeing how SL is drawing these mini TL or as he calls them S&R.
Too bad I was in bed when this all went down.


Maybe, I am thick or something but, at long last I am seeing how what we are really doing is wrapping Price movement in envelopes or blocks of areas that price tests then breaks away from to retest the lower area, or visa vi.
The market is one massive range with retests of its former confines and the occasional breakout! By going to lower TFs, we are sort of, as my old acupuncture doctor used to say about western medicine, "they are looking at the moon with a microscope rather than a telescope".
Interesting stuff indeed.

G'day PB,

Hardly thick. That's a brilliant observation!

As a newbie, I too am starting to see the charts as comprising layers of price history, much like the strata of an archeological dig or a geological survey.

I also love the concept of applying Fib numbers in trading and investment, because they apply to so many things in the natural world. Whichever way my trading method/plan evolves, I'm sure those golden ratios will integral.

Cheers
