Finally I have finished the padding bars for FlexiChart. Since so many have asked for it on your thread Tony I hope you don't mind.
The screenshot is a 5 second padded chart.
You must use your computers system time by setting that option to true. You can adjust it to match your MT4's server time if you want. I updated the thread on FF and TSD.
cheers all

I have been using the older version, I'll try the new one and appreciate all the effort that you put into programing improvements, I don't have the ability, yet. Oh, linky to FlexiChart v2.0 http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=222230

I got myself a nice trade today. I hope it works out. TP is 200 pips and seems possible to me per PA analysis ( edit: and also fundamentals are in my favor i think)

I didn't trade Tony's London/NY open strategy but used the 5 sec. chart.

Yesterday I had 3 good entries and I set TP too far away. Could have banked around 100 pips damn

Perhaps I am the only one who has been following contributing to this thread that has this "thought", yet I feel not. Don't y'all find it kind of funny to see the pattern....someone is browsing, finds this thread, sees the plethora of pages/reading, then wants the system re-capitualted so they don't have to read the 'history', then makes the betterment suggestion to change it radically based on their establishedly "unsuccessful" way of trading thus far. I say, from this point on, lemme suggest WE remind the new onlookers/trackers to test, prove, then share that testing and proof with us before making CONTRIBUTIONS. Until then, thank you Tony for your EXTREME generosity in evolving and sharing your wins and losses candidly. And thank you for your ongoing engagement as time permits with this thread to share, without compensation, what's up and how you're dealing with it. I hope to be able to make the same contribution to you in the not so distant future. Fundamentals...technicals...price- I'm sticking with the #1 indi of all time in all markets- PRICE. Thanks again Tony! Keep up the good work!

PS Thanks Salient for the EA/updates. Great trading wishes to all!
Blessings, Monk E.

Well don't you just love how newbies make thread changing recommendations
I'm not really sure if you are reffering to me. If you do so, I want you to know that there never was the intention to recommend any changes to the trading system that Tony thaught us.

I trade better because of this thread and becaus I read all of it and because it gave me the confidence to trade with a super small stop ( 2 pips including spread ) and let the trade run for a homerun and I'm so thankful that Tony made this thread and still keeps it running.

And I posted this trade because I'm happy if I have a nice setup, nothing else.

It's natural, we all learned from someone... so if it works, may we all succeed... unfortunately, we won't because not everybody has a golden patience... It takes a long thought to realize how much it is worth to invest our time on this. Message to everyone: if I did not respond to your private message or thread reply, don't take it personally pls! I am everywhere these days!

This thread's method has been established long ago, I am following it because there is a beauty in its effectiveness and simplisity. Get in on the london and new york open, low risk and high rewards, then go back to what you were doing. That being said. If some one wants to try out new rules you should open a new thread... I would actually like to know how your method is working, I would follow it for results and testing, but this is not the forum for it, start a new thread.

Fail. spread too wide, 0.9 spreads are now very rare with oanda, SL too far because of that.

I have been trading solely (of late) on FXPRO. I am even an IB for them. Yet, I cannot stop watching the spreads. ON the EUR/USD of late, it's been a 1.4 to 2.0 range, which just about makes me sick! So I started looking around. I know Tony uses OANDA, yet even you Tony doesn't like that whopper-junior they slide in there at 1.x anything. I've been watching the spreads on my chart, as I have a CI on my screen to show me that. Basically, they are SO manipulated that regardless, we are (the traders of FF and the "retail bunch") getting the short end of the stick. Does anyone have 'first hand' experience with a broker that is not doing a number to them/their trading by whacking us with higher spreads "due to market conditions"? Then I looked at fixed spread brokers, and quickly realized their feeds must be SO buffered, because market conditions DO flex. Any insights from experience would be welcomed, and a quick bottom-line conversation on this was all I was interested in- otherwise, we should take it to another thread. Happy pippin'!

I use MB and I have not seen any large spreads in the EU over the last week.

It costs me .6 of a pip round turn in commission. However that is not added to the trading price. When I land a 140 pip win that others don't because of spread/manipulation then that will make up for a lot of commission.

Dear fellow traders, I will unfortunately not be able to continue my trading until normal trading conditions arise. The spread has gone up by 122% to 200% with Oanda which violates one of my very first rules in the system's instructions. I hope to see you soon with a New Year's resolution or under better circumstances. If the spread goes back to 0.9 pips I will post the trades.
