It is of little consequence which moving average period you use to determine the trend. 50 100 150 or 40 90 140... do you see my point.
Thanks....

Thanks....
What's important is that the moving averages are in the same direction and that price is not above any of them if you are wanting to short.

Only dollar pairs. EU, GU or AU

EU is the main pair I trade, only for spread reasons.

It doesn't matter too much which chart you look at, they all look pretty similar on a price bar chart. Take this Gold chart... it just the same as any other chart, shows the same characteristics, price bouncing between levels, previous intraday support and resistance. Pull backs that are sold into in a down move, typical price behaviour.

No, it wont change, only changes on open bar if it goes above or below the set level as the moves up and down, however once the bar closes, the levels wont change. Hence the bars don't change color.

Not sure how you could of noticed a change in color unless the bars have changed after closing, not sure how this could happen, I haven't seen it happen using my range bar expert.
Okay, thank you very much for your answer.
I will check this out!

Sure, Here is the range bar indi (its not actually an indi at all its a script) that i have been using for a while now. And here is a link to a video I found on youtube explaining how to set it up

This script has been distributed illegally. I would have sent a pm to you as a courtesy telling you about this, but your pms are switched off. Please remove it as this contravenes FF rules. I will inform Twee and the copyright holder.

Previous support levels, holding price as resistance in a trend.

I've clearly stated that to obtain a script to run range bars on mt4, that anyone who wishes to do this will have to obtain one themselves as it is a commercial script the one I am using.

I cannot control what others do I'm afraid as you say.

Musashi, thanks for understanding my point and that this is nothing to do with you.

In my experience I have found that all good traders appreciate the efforts of coders, whether they are given away free here on FF or produced commercially. Indeed, anyone who makes his living from helping us to become profitable deserves our respect.

Hi, I was unaware that this was a commercial script. Since I found it here on FF myself. I cant seem to delete my old posts for some reason. Anyone know how I can remove this post and I will. Cheers
Hi Dan,

i think you can delete only posts that r made by you in the present day and cannot the posts made yesterday or so.., so maybe contacting the FF admin is the solution.., maybe....

Not a deep enough retracement to signal a trade... certainly resistance was evident at the 1.3000 level however.

Hi M, Thanks for posting up the charts. Just wanted to ask, What would you consider a deep enough retracement when taking a trade. Since you use range bars, how many pips roughly would a valid retracement be.

Stochastic above 80 and below 20 is a deep retracement. In this instance I was hoping for a move back to around the xx25 level to coincide with previous support levels.

Missing a move doesn't concern me too much.

A valid retrace will always appear at some point.

Where possible I'll try to post a chart before the trade happens.

There was a signal to trade which happened after I went to sleep, and another signal after that one, which occured outside of NY market times, which is typically not a good time to be trading as it's what I call the dead zone.
