I'm terrible with math actually... beyond the basic stuff... but if you give me an equation I can implement it.

Or, a way of describing it within the context of the candles etc...

ie. ((H-L[x periods]) / current price) or whatev...

Hit up OQ... he is crazy smart with the Maths.

Talking about EAs and stuff. Does anybody know of a java wrapper around mt4. I would very much like to automate my orders from java code. Not really an EA because I will still enter the trades manually.

You can use API with oanda if you like, I havent tried them but read some interviews with good feedback...

I know. Alpari would do it too (straight java through jforex). But the darn FIFO/hedging crap would go against my strategy. I mean, I can always manage one or two trades, but the way I trade I can have multiple ones going diff direction. That makes it a little hard to keep an eye on. That's why I need a little more sophisticated order management thingy.

news charting is a science i have never been able to do. i tried. i suck at it. 3510 is my next big level.. but uum 3434 is in a good reversal spot.. just above is 3448.5. there are easier pairs to trade.
good call for a 30 odd pip bounce in any case g, but i'm only scalping longs for now...

edit- third refusal, starting to look a little more tempting, but not gonna consider counters until the hour closes...

2nd edit- we're also hovering around a pretty big murray pivot @ 427..

I had the same problem when I used FXpro in Cyprus. It was fixed with a script easily.

Was very annoying.. Had one day were I was up 15 ish % because it didn't close anything though... could have gone the other way off course, but it didnt, yey..... yee...

Dukascopy would have been awesome, because it did not require any mt4 running locally. Because of that, one can use straight java (they have built in connectors into their system already). So then you can write a little java program and host it in one of the clouds. I prefer Amazon E2C (that's where my data warehouse sits too). But thanks to the idiots in Congress in particular Frank and fucking Dodd, I can't. How revolting is that?.....

ambitious, not too much left in the tank on atr (in fact we're about 20 over), could be wrong...

edit- we're also at 10sma on daily, also fibo and pivot city just above (well 50 up to 80), again could be wrong..

mate:

the fault is always to others; EU, China, GOB ...ect..

another lesson from the past: [specially with Bush in charge]: whenever gov. started a trade sanctions.. dollar collapsed.. [maybe he is having a point]

Jeez, this guy is unbelievable. He's been blaming others since he took office. When is he going to grow a spine and assume some responsibility. He was elected because he said he's gonna fix what's wrong. Fix the fucking thing and stop wining, god damn it.
