He everyone

Someone posted an indy on the thread for plotting round numbers on the charts.

I'm looking through the thread but can't find it and was wondering if someone has it could they post it again.

Many thanks

Hi, I did a google search and found several threads at this site. Read one good explanation and placed the MQ4 file into the EA's location in the MT4 installer (hope I have correct terms). It now does appear inside the EA area in the Navigator area on my FinFx MT4.

However, when I drag it onto a chart or click "attach to chart" I see no screen pop up with variables to adjust. Other indicators under EA do work even though the market is closed - I am able to upload them.

So... something's not right yet.

Eric, it's good to have you back. Been there & done that so I have an idea of what you've been through. Just take it easy and do what your better-half tells you, you'll be ok. Take care.

Quoting roterio
Hi waterman. I did not do something special. Eelfranz system is enough for an average of 300-400 pips a week. He also said that early. I know that I can make a million dollar with 100 pips a week. I hope this profit continues but if I can not control myself I will end up another live account. As I did before several times.

Guys be sure that I made all the calculations you told me to make and I made lots of swear not to do again this shit. But they are emotions I should control them.
First of all it's a very big relief to see EelFranz back in here !!!
I hope you're doing well.

Second for Roterio, just stick to a predefined pip target per week.
(100 or 300 pips or what ever you averaging)
My compounding method is to trade 0.01 lots for every 100 in my account. It's not going at the speed of light in the beginning, but if you can do this consistently...the sky is the limit.

Just google for a retirement spreadsheet excel sheet and be amazed.
And have another (demo) account, to play with.

My 100 pips/week account is my bread and butter, while my other accounts sre doing even better.

You have a method in this thread that works, include a simple money management system and you're on your way.
Now find a way to stay disciplined. Make a plan, and follow it.

Best regards,
Hans

Please everyone..It's great that most of us make this and that kind of pips. It's wonderful, but please do ask yourself this question over and over again: "How much did you guys risk to make those pips?" Without proper money management no system is perfect.

Hi Dean. Yes I was NOT trading bigE's strategy, but i thought i would mention it to prove the power off round numbers and trading the same way as the market movers. I saw a potential opportunity, and got 40+ pips out of it setting up on the 5min chart. It was pure fluke I saw it as I had marked the resistance level the day before and was scrolling through my charts. I only took it as I had exceeded my target for the week,& the trade was low risk (i had >10 pip stop) and high probability. Just trading the bounce off the resistance level of 1.43....
Doesnt sound like a fluke to me.....sounds like a very well planned and executed trade with little risk and high gain.....perfect actually...well done.

Dean, how was your live performance this week? Were you able to make progress?
I was a little busy this week but still manage to increase my account by
26 % in 7 tradings. (5 wins 2 minor loses caused by impatience)
I am trying to perfect my trading so that i will only take the best set ups to minimize loses.
[font=Comic Sans MS][color=blue]Hope this coming week...
Hi Ade,
As mentioned a couple of days ago, I had a shocker this week.....went backwards actually. I ended up down about 90 pips for the week...still only tradig minis so no big deal but it was disappointing. I discovered (hopefully) that the tdi I was using had changed my perspective on trades so as of next week I am back to the original tdi and hopefully back on track. Well done on your week...that is a fantastic effort!!

ive lost many˛ pips these weeks....
ive been brought the execution based on TDI cross ...but hell yeah ....the news schrew up everythings...
i think i must more carefull for the news time now ...or anyone have any suggest ???

ill be back to trade next week...and =still= using ur great methode BigE...

regards.
I would suggest Plot_News (chart and attachment below)

Hover the mouse cursor over the dot on the chart and "Previous" and "Forecast" come up. (as shown) If you download from FF again - as is necessary to do at least once a week on Sunday nite - you get "Actual" as well.


Warning: Hanover, creator of Plot_News indicator, no longer supports this version but I think it's the best. This is the oldest and I've been using it since 2006. The next one slows your computer down, and the third is a newer version of the first one, but find it temperamental and complicated.

One important thing: Last time I checked, Hanover had made no move to go to Windows7 or support questions about it. If you want to use either the first or third version of Plot_News in Windows7 you must make certain that your trading platform is in Program Files, not Virtual Store, which is where it will go automatically if you don't stop Windows7 from rerouting it out of Program Files. The file (a part of Plot_News) that stores news information, news.cvs, must also go in Program Files: C: Program Files/ Your Broker/ experts/files.


If you have trouble with using MT4 in Windows7 I have a few work-arounds if can remember them, to get around Windows7 nuisances.

Here are links to Hanover's 3 threads for Plot_News:

H4 charts show a lot in one bar. If you run the timeframe down to 5 or M15, you get something more exact, for purposes of knowing when the news announcements are, thus:
