This is platform discussion, i'd suggest you find someone trading the same method as you and discuss this with them - even open a thread if needed.

or simply reduce your targets by 5pips

not much help but i don't know your system and thats key to answering the question

I am trying to use this indicator but not sure what my seetings should be. I was wondering if anyone could me out here. Thanks.

I want to use this when a daily candle crosses and closes the 10sma. When the candle closes I would like for it to have an email alert. This needs to be based on the close of the candle.

Any help would be appreciated or even if there is a better option for me please let me know.

not sure if these will help, but if you google it there is also a web site by the creator

Sorry i don't use it, but if you can run the ea, set it to ask for permission and send an alert using the email settings in the MT4 options

Timeframe 1440 = Daily
MA_Period 10
MA-Type 1 = Simple

unfortunately this indicator does not have the email feature,
you can allways talk to the creator and see if he can add it for you.
but it probably will cost you
there are other MAs with crossover alerts out there,
you probably could find a few here on FF
but those are based on 2 MAs one short and one long,
and they don't alert when a candle close.
I think if you need something like that you need to hire a programmer

hello experts,

when I try to trade from mt4 , I see difference for the prices seen in order window and the actual chart itself.it is always +- 35 pips from my broker.Is that mean they are taking additional commission from me ? Please have a look to the attached picture to see what I mean.

thanks.

My guess (and it's only a guess) is that the bid/ask on the RHS of the chart reflects the spread that he is being offered, and that the 35 pips is his own take. If I recall correctly, Go Markets did something like this when they first started. Why don't you try putting the question to him directly?

Bottom line is that if you're not happy with the spread that's being offered, you can always look for another MT4 br0ker. Here is a list of around 200 of them.

yep thats the bid and ask price you see wich is also called the spread,
you buy at the ask and sell at the bid,
the Metatrader charts only show the bid price,
atleast what Im aware of,
and I don't think it's possible to change that.
I can see you have the Gold chart open.
in gold and metals however, it's different,
the Gold and other metals spread is not messured like currency, in pips
Gold is messured by it's weight not pips
it's messured in ounces so you shouldn't confuse that
with pips at all, it just look the same and I agree it's
a bit alarming to see that huge spread believing it is pips.
in comparrision 1 ounce is a lot! smaller then 1 pip
ounces (1 ounce = 31.1034768 grams
so that spread is not so large as it seems,
Im sure you could calculate this to get a pip comparrision.
I don't want to go into that because my math sux
maybe hanover is willing to come up with a formula

Really, you need to start clicking some menus and check options, no wonder people are so screwed up about what they can & can't do, think forum is gospel but never even read the manual, Merry Christmas

I think this probably explains it better, lots of tricks can be played by brokers using MT4.

yes you are right,
there is a possibility to see the ask price "line" but thats not what I meant,
I mean the candles are still showing only the bid price.
MT4 candles will close on the bid price therefore you really can't say
that Mt4 chart shows a ask price chart. can you?
atleast thats not my definition of a ask price chart.
in other better plaforms you can switch to a ask chart,
where the candles close at ask.
I hope that explains it better.
cheers

First of all thanks for all the stuff that you share here.

Can you please tell me if there is a way to clean up the alert window from old alerts on MT4?

Thanks,

you should start a new thread - indicators for synergy CRS - or something
you can then add a link to your signature line for it.

this thread is about the general use of MT4 platforms - not trade specific indi's

You cannot be serious!

Read some of the previous posts, they are just as off topic (by your definition) as my post

Go ahead, make my day!

Yoenes,

The only way that I know of is to exit and restart MT4.

Best wishes for 2012,

Yes - but your indi's are specific to a system that is currently on topic - it would be more benificial to everyone using that system to have an indi thread, so that it can be developed and discussed

If they all come here, this thread will be full of your discussion and no longer of use for other MT4 tips

it was meant as more of a suggestion to assit your trading system.

I see where you are getting the wrong impression; these indicators are not specific to that system, only I am using them, and as they show on the charts I post, others are asking for them, the thread starter deleted them when I did post them there, don't think he will appreciate if I start a thread and name it indicators for his method, and I don't want the hassle of maintaining a thread.

These indicators are only generic ADR and vertical lines to show sessions times, they can be found anywhere, not required for any system or method.

If you read back a few pages on this thread, there are many indicators posted; why are you suddenly the forum police and picking on me?

Go away and stop disruption with your posts; if it bother you so much, don't read it, start your thread for tip & techniques if it is so important that everyone be so correct with all their attachments, have a nice day, I'm finished with this, and hope you are too.

i think it's time the op put erebus on the good old ignore list to rid him of the thread. some people just don't have a clue.

mpp - my suggestion to you is to just ignore it and hope it goes away.
