Dags,

I'm Long on E/U too. I should've gotten in on 1H Time Frame a little earlier. I'm at 1.42396. I'm expecting it to rally upwards, especially when London opens.
I agree. I think the H4 TDI and stock are setting up for a good looking long. Now let's see what the new H4 candle looks like in about an hour.

Thanks Callisto
Your point is well taken. I do have the Bid Ask line on the chart and I have a white OHLC bar under the APB chart so I can see the entry and close most of the time.
However to see that info all the time I would really like to have the body of the APB bars at a 2 width.
I have tried to change the width myself in the code, but it does not change anything.
It seems that the Indicator draws its info from some other source and not just the code contained in the attached MQ4 file.

Can anyone out there help me with this please?
Thanks...
Thanks for the MQ4 file

There are actually 3 places within the code to change the Width and / or the Colors

Just scroll down a little bit while editing and you will see it plain as day - it does work, check it out

EDIT:
Seem to me that even though you can change the color & size within the indicator, it change right back when using differnt time frames, PERMANENT change can only done in the code?

Isn't it true that BigE trades the 1Hr time frame during the first 3 hours of the US session? I have seen several places talk about BigE trading 1 hr charts during the London but his very first post says he trades 1hr charts during the first 2-3 hours of the US session.

Has something changed or was this just a mistype?

Thanks.
To clear this up for everybody:
Big E lives in Oregon which is on Pacific time, so it is not convenient for him to trade the London session becaue the London session in his time opens around 10pm. Therefore he trades the 4 hour charts. He sets his alarm for 2pm in the morning to check the next 4 hour candle and then he gets up again at 6 and shits down his trades.
Now his PREFERENCE would be (as he has said) trading the London session using the one hour charts. Ideally his perfect scenario would be to be living in London and just trading that session with the first three hours being the most crucial.

It worked on your version. I made the exact same changes on my code and for some reason it did not stick. I've done it on many other indies before, but I have no clue why it did not work for me this time.
Thanks, I owe you!

Hi I have a quick question which isnt completely clear to me when reading the thread...

We enter when the green TDI crosses the red. Do we enter on the beginning of the next candle once it has crossed? or can we enter in the middle of a candle whilst it is crossing?

I am just trying to understand so that I can practice and also look back over previous charts. I am just consious of the candles maybe repainting and also the TDI looking like it is going to cross but by the time the candle closes it didnt actually cross... do you see what I mean?...
To anyone using HA candles of any type, yes, they sure are purty, but I suggest you sit down one day, and watch the candle that forms right at the hourly change, especially when the price is at extreme high or low of current candle, take a screen shot in case you miss it - it backfills to make the smooothing effect - price was no where near where the candle paints - absolutely impossible to use them for back testing - forget about 1st candle, 2nd candle - concentrate on where the price is - use real candles - trading system should work the same - ask yourself why you are using them in the first palce - Dean Malone purpose was to keep in the trade longer, but first you need to know where you are getting in, right?

Copy thanks for the info/response. If only I had that Delorean that did 88 miles an hour. then I could travel in time and place anywhere I wanted to trade each day. Maybe with enough pips I can buy me one. When that happens, I will stop by in Australia for a session.
