I apologize for wasting most of the regular members time with this request. I saw where one member said he was a computer Goon... I'm his dumber brother. I would like to download the HA-T3-1 system onto my platform. Have no clue how. If help is offered assume I know nothing... step by step instruction is need. Thanks in advance for any help offered.
I do have some trading experience and may can add some constructive info later to site. Gmcc

Found my answer elsewhere. For some reason my indicators although showing in the MT4 were loading into the wrong file locations... May be due to an earlier problem I had with MT4 & Vista. Hope no one spent a lot of time on my problem... Thanks if you did.

Tonyb.... I think your HA-T3 system is excellent. Having read most of your tread, I want to Thank you for your work, your sharing and most especially your Patience.

Are you able to please help me to create an MT4 Template that has the following indicators plus an alert (explained below - by the way, I am NOT a programmer or tech person):

A.>
Two Bollinger Bands - Which on the Think or Swim Platform are set on two different charts to:
On Flexgrid chart
Bollinger Band 1 (SMA): Close, 0, 20 Period, -2.0, 2.0
Bollinger Band 2 (SMA): Close, 0, 20 Period, -1.5, 1.5
On Prophet chart
BB 20, 2.5
BB 20, 2.0

B.>
Exponential Moving Average 10 period (Red Dots)

C.>
Simple Moving Average 21 (DimGray Solid Line)
Simple Moving Average 50 (Orange Solid Line)
Simple Moving Average 200 (Red Solid Line)

D.>
Slow Stochastics 5,3,3 - As First Indicator Window Below Price

E.>
I need 3 Williams %R overlaid on one another in the same indicator window: 8 (colored Red), 21 (colored Blue), and 55 (Colored Green) - As Second Window

F.>
Wilders RSI(2) period - As Last Window

G.>
ALSO, if possible, I need an Alert function to sound when the fastest W%R (8 Red) reaches between 90 to 100 and when it reaches 10 to 0.

H.>
As well as when ALL 3 of the W%R together reach those same levels.

Thank you so much in advance.

As far as I know, there's no setting in MT4 that will turn them off.

Hi

Good thread for me, especially the tips in the first and last posts.

Is there a way to limit the size of mt4's "terminal" screen? Instead of it stretching across the bottom of the entire platform screen.

I use multiple screens with Mt4 spread across them all, and when I have a trade open I also like to have the "trade" tab of the terminal screen open.

I have a problem that the terminal screen stretches across the entire width of Mt4, across all my screens. I want it on one only. All I can think of is to have one screen logged in separately.

Any help appreciated

the terminal window is dockable, and hence, is docked. grab it on the left hand side (where it actually says "terminal") and drag it out of it's docked position and stick it wherever you want.
Congratulations ScalaFX for coming out of the closet!

another thing I've done when I want to view multiple charts plus the terminal, is to size the terminal to the minimum size while still viewing what I want, then go to "window" then tile... the charts will all fit into the space above the terminal

Suddenly, when I want to edit a template, the changes don't save. Once I close the chart, or change the time frame, the template reverts back to the original template, and all changes have disappeared. This just started happening. It was never a problem before. Any ideas?

Dear Experts,

I ask this question after googling for around 30 mins for a clear answer.

Some of my trades are copied with the use of an investor password.

I understand that investor password is read only password.

But, will investor password also enable the "viewer" to see exactly what i do with my charts/time frame/the pivot and fib levels that I've drawn? would the investor view levels that i've marked on charts? coz i wouldn't want that.

Thanks for your help.

Maybe someone could help in this issue.

I want to be able to scroll the graph without mt4 changing the heighh of the bars (I HATE THAT).

If you want to see what i mean check Tradestation from fxcm, and you will scroll back and bars will not move.

Press F8 (chart properties), in common tab tick Scale fix. Here you can set the maximum & minimum values for your chart.

Now you will be able to drag & move your chart without candles resizing.
(keep autoscroll & chart shift off)
It never gets easier, you just get better
