I agree--nice summary!

I like to think of the market as a wrecking ball. When it's reached the end of its swing, it's very easy to "push" in the other direction, but before the end of its move, it's very easy to get splatted against a brick wall.

Don't get splatted!

Haha. I agree too.. because i hit the wall too.

I also found out that u will miss alot of pips if u STRICTLY take only price at extreme fib or further. What abt this below the extreme fib, i would say.. reduce yr position sizing. A pip is better than none.

Vegas develope this method for all to use. Having a flexible mindset and good money mgt will wins u the game. Cheers

compro99,

I really like the idea of reducing the position size on long moves while keeping stop at b/e. I then move the stop as price moves along on the other side of the tunnel. Happy Trading everyone ....

I think if u apply vegas method accordingly, in the long run, market will reward you for yr loyalty. Maybe there will be less fear and greed trading, let the market soothe it out for u. Keep it simple !

G'day 5MS,

Quoting 5MinuteStudent
For those of you having problems in entering data for a new day follow the following instructions:
Go to the Data Sheet GBP
Select row 16 (click on the number 16 -- the whole row should now be highlighted).
Go to the Insert Menu above
Choose insert row
Choose row 15
Copy row 15 by using the Edit Menu above and choose copy
Select the empty row 16
Since your latest updated spreadsheet, has this sequence now changed? When copying row 16, inserting row and pasting as the new row 16, the cells have the formatting of row 15. Is this correct??

Sorry to keep harping on this, but I think you'll agree that it's vital this step is 100% accurate! :-)

Many Thanks,
Andrew.

Andrew,

After you have copied row 15 (normal copy) onto the new inserted, empty row 16, then do the following:

Select the first 5 fields or cells from row 16.

Use the Edit Menu above and choose copy
Use the Edit Menu above and choose Paste Special
A box should open, choose Values under Paste
Check to see if yesterday's open, high, low, and close data are correct in row 16.

The reason you do the paste special is only to enter the open, high, low, close as reference for future historical calculations. If you prefer not to do the paste special, then you can enter by hand the values of open, high, low, close in row 16.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

How do I get S&P on Metatrader 4?
I followed the instructions in VWB part 2 and downloaded from strategybuilderfx.com, but I still only have currencies in the add new chart drop down? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in Advance..

Did you already try right-clicking in the "Market Watch" pane and selecting "Show All"? I needed to do that for S&P to display.

P.S.: Things are so quiet right now. Think we'll ever get another trading opportunity?

At least USDCAD's pushing its way up. Bet everything will bust loose at the same time!

HeavyJ,
yes, 21:00 GMT. And when daylight saving time comes along it will be 22:00 GMT
I'm still confused as to what feed to use in order to have the daily candle close at 5pm Chicago time. I've downloaded and installed 5 different MT4's and have yet to find the right feed. Most of them have been GMT or Russian (GMT+2 or +3).

It would be great if someone could post the exact link to the MT4platform/feed that will line up w/what Vegas is talking about. So far i've downloaded (among others) Inter Bank F X, Meta Quotes, Alpari...

THX much from a confused FX'er

Thom,
I'm confused as to why you should be having so much trouble with metatrader 4. My server feed is "MetaQuotes demo - MetaQuotes Software Corp." Under tools>options>server I have the box checked that says "Data center auto configuration". Also checked on the server page is "Keep personal settings and data at startup" and "enable news". The other boxes are left unchecked.

I've always had the daily bars switch over at 5:00 pm chicago time.

I've got my MT4 options setup same as vegas. My daily bars close at +1. For instance the close of yesterday's daily bar is 1.7381 on cable

I'll be searching for the cure...
I keep a close watch on this chart of mine...

Hi Vegas, thank you for your kind response. I know your time is valuable!

Here is what i've done.
1) Unistalled EVERY instance of MT4 on my computer.
2) Gone to http://www.metaquotes.net/terminal and downloaded a fresh copy of MT4 Client Terminal
3) Installed it and had it give me a "Demo Account" when installing.
4) The server info and GMT 0 Chart time are shown below with no option for getting a feed called "MetaQuotes Software Corp" :

http://accrete.com/fx_posts/MT4setupsc.PNG

As you can see the chart time is right on GMT 00:00 and my clock is GMT 00:02 right after taking the screen shot of the MT4 setup.

Strange.

I'm at a loss as to what to do at this point. Unless someone can give me the MetaQuotes server address and i can manually enter it??

accrete,
My only suggestion is to contact metaquote or metatrader tech support and ask them what to do. I am at a loss to explain your situation. Sorry.

Hi accrete,

I think it's been a long time since you posted..

I am not quite concerned about this dilemma for the moment, but I think I'm
going to need the solution sometime.

If ever you find the solution, please do share.

Hi accrete,

I think your problem is that you are using InterbankFX feed. They use a different chart time.

This is MetaQuotes server's address:
MetaQuotes-Demo - MetaQuotes Software Corp.


Hope this helps,

Here is what i did. Call me a Shirlock Holmes WaNaBe... I could not get the originaly posted info on the MetaQuotes Server to work when i pasted it into the server/login area. I kept poking around the MetaQuotes.net site and figured i'd download the "Data Center" app thinking it might have some info on the server. Sure enough it did.

I then pasted the info: demo.metaquotes.net:443 into the server area, closed that out.
Then i opened the "Open New Account" and had it search the demo.meta.... server and it pinged it and came back with a new account!

In the words of a popular commercial: "THAT was Easy".
NOT. grin.

Here is the screen shot as it is set up. I think the times are correct?

accrete,

Thanks for sharing the legwork. I really did not think it made much difference but it is easier to make sense of the time of day when the candle clock is the same as my kitchen clock.
