thanks tic. Appreciate it. could you please pm me what I should set for this code to send me emails to my gmail account.
Gmail wont work with MT4 that i know of.
They require SSL to be able to send mail, which MT4 doesnt have the ability to do.

I use my internet providers email servers to send mail with MT4. I use comcast, and their mail server address is smtp.comcast.net:587 then i just use the username/pass then gave me for my account.

If someone else has it working on gmail id love to hear it.

Hi Traederray,

I believe diversification will follow soon from Graeme once I have a few 200+ pips positions in this project. I really hope I do get there by next week as I personally am unable to visualize the concept behind diversification/hedging. Perhaps, I am a bit biased as diversification forces me to move my account outside of USA. For those who will tell me to deal with two separate accounts, I have done that for carry trade yields and it becomes a royal pain to monitor account balances and transfer amounts back and forth.
It's only a problem if you are leveraged too high. As per this exercise you are doing with a 5000 account doing size of 10 000 per trade it would be no major hassle to split that into a long and short account of 2500 each. You wouldn't be balancing out the accounts very often at all.

With kind regards,
MK

that works in scripts, it should work in mt4, if not try port 465

From: name, your email
to: name, another email (if it's gmail it's better)

see if it works, if it does not work use gmx.com this are the settings

GMX Mail SMTP server address: smtp.gmx.com
GMX Mail SMTP user name: Your full GMX Mail email address (“[email protected]”, for example)
GMX Mail SMTP password: Your GMX Mail password
GMX Mail SMTP port: 25 (alternative: 465)

From: name, your email
to: name, another email

I don't get it. An SMS yes, but an email. If you can check your emails why not check your charts?
Good Trading

Hi Guys,


Here is a picture of a 4hr chart with pip bands of 100 and 400 on either side of the 200 EMA. I just thought this was a handy visual to check out how many times price hits the 200 EMA and how far it travels after it's interaction. I believe Graeme stated it moves on average 400 pips. Again, keep in mind that 400 is an average. Also, you need to watch price action when it gets near the 200 EMA you just can't blindly take a long if price is coming up to the 200 EMA from the short side.

Graeme mentioned he uses Push technology similar to blackberry mobile device which is instantaneous similar to SMS.

Vee,

Thanks so much for taking on such a daunting task for all to see and critique. These details and the discussions that will follow will be of benefit to us all to be sure when paired with Graeme's insights and experience. I for one am very grateful for your diligence in this experiment.

Cheers,

RD

Good Evening/Morning everyone,

I have chosen the following pairs for tonight's London open in the order of preference.

AUDCHF: Hindsight is short on monthly, weekly, daily and on H4. FB seen on Weekly and Daily as an indication to go short

EURCHF: Hindsight is short on monthly, weekly, daily and a bit unclear on H4. I will only take short position if it clearly breaks down the support line

GBPNZD: Hindsight is short on monthly and weekly, range on daily and a bit messy/unclear on H4 with lot of wicks. I will treat this pair only as a backup

I hope we get to see some good PA tonight. 2cent suggestions/comments are most welcome.

Should be a breakout soon one direction or another on the AUDCHF... the 100 EMA, 200 EMA and price are all in the same general area. Can't stay like that for too long.
