Hi LG
entered this around the same time you did as a 4C H1 BO, a bit worried about R around.9700 and going against the W1 trend. set my TP a few pips below R. what is your plan for this pair ?

Hello all. I have a basic MT4 newbie question. Is there a way to adjust MT so the period separator starts a new period (day) when we want it to? I've just started reading this wonderful (but rather long) thread over the weekend, and I'm sure it's been discussed numerous times. I just haven't found it. I'm using my broker's MT platform and their period doesn't align with charts posted here. Their period doesn't start over for a couple hours. Is there a way to change the start time or am I better off just downloading another brokers MT4? Thanks for helping a newbie out here. I commend all participants on their civility. Most threads I've looked over seem to sink to a gutter level.

9700 will give us about 25-30 pips. I have marked my chart with 3 possible resistence levels. If PA does not clear the first one at 9680, I will probably exit the trade.

Hello all....
Hi mark, well I don't know if you can even change the way MT displays the period separator, because asi you know, they are aligned with your broker's new period. There should be no problem if you trade BO's for the first 4 candles of your broker's new period, but if you don't want to do and want to make your charts seem the more alike to saay LG's charts, the you could just set the Daily_LinesBoxes indicator to cover the candles you want it to cover.

Making it clearer, for example: if your broker's new period starts two hours later of LG's new period (this means 2 H1 candles of difference) then you might want to set the following on your LinesBoxes indicator:

Start Hours: -2
End Hours: 2

This way your indicator will enclose the two H1 candles previous to your new period separator and the two H1 candles next to the period separator. Hope this helps

Thank you Anther! That sounds like a good idea. As I demo trade LG's setups, I think I'd prefer to have my charts look the same. I'll also experiment with the BO's using my first 4 candles too. Maybe it makes no difference once you're comfortable with eye-balling the setups, but as one of LG's newest students, I'll see if I can follow along with the instructor's timeframe. I'll do a search for the daily lineboxes indi. Thanks.

That is one of the emotions we need to overcome, taking no trades is better than taking losing trades of course.

But we are learning and building experience, right? So for now it's good to know you can work on patience and not rush into trades... wish you a good outcome Cristian

I agree, market's been too choppy today IMO. I'm in with a short 3T on EURCHF, I think since 4 or 5 hours ago, it has been on -20 and now on BE.
Calling it all for today might be a good idea, have a good night LG. Good night to all guys.
