Hey guys just wondering if anyone else in here is using a Mac to trade with MT4. I installed windows using virtual box and it is working fine. Just wondering if anyone did something different or actually got MT4 working on Mac without 3rd party software.

Thanks
I use a 3rd party emulator called Parallels. Work well for me.

Hey, equivestor.

The reason it was not technically a pinbar, is because the body of the bar was not within the previous bar (see chart). But I agree with you that it had pretty decent confluence to back it up.

Best regards,
William
Thank's for correcting me WH...so would this be considered a beob then?

Thanks brother for your time . BUT , my question still remains on the table . How does " Sir James " draw their trend lines . Only his trend lines are different from all the rest here . If its true that he draws them after the price action for entertainment sake as you say , then my question is answered , if no , Questions still unanswered !
Chanya,

I'm also interested in the answer.....

but for now, here's something from a trader from long ago...... (who became quite a "specialist" in trend lines, for some time)

"I did very well trading gaps in the past, if they coincided with ppz, tls, fib ret etc. It’s just another tool in my trading toolbox. Just keep in mind there is absolutely no magic to it. There is only one reason why TLs, fibs and gaps work.. They work because traders put ‘weight’ to it and have certain expectation regarding price behavior when it approaches those areas. Same thing applies to your 10, 50, 100, 200 or any other emas…. They only work because traders use them as an entry/exit points. Again, no magic here either.
As for GJ, I’m not sure; It’s already 300 ps away from the gap. I was in with good size before Friday’s close @ 235.29. I’m sort of aggressive trader and trade both ways with and against the trend, so if I find gj bouncing off good S/R , forming a PB or any other setup, I’ll go long to ‘meet/close’ the gap.

B.T.W. Last week was my best week ever in my entire trading career in terms of pips.
All the credit goes to the founder of this thread and the PF"

Looks like an area with good confluence of fibs, 365 ema and BRN.

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anybody knows how to get continuous chart data on MT4 Demo for energy instruments such as Gold, Oil and indices like S&P500 and DJI + the usual forex majors, all on one demo MT4 platform?

I've downloaded the MT4 platforms directly from Alpari UK, FxPro and FXCM and have generated demo accounts directly from MT4 itself and none of them had those instruments on ONE platform????

Mike, Jim, anybody????

*edit* I only want it for charting because of the functionality of MT4 itself, and have no desire to do place any live trades on it apart from demoing. I tried to find North Finance but they seem to be gone??? Has Alpari UK chosen to decline demo accounts from having non-currency instruments? Also, I've tried more exotic ones like Ava, Activitrades, etc and none of their demo platforms had Gold, Light Crude and S&P500 on one platform????????

Hey, PB
this is not Mac - unless they replaced MacOS with Linux
This is Linux running MT4 with Wine (which is Windows emulator)

The title says it is a MAC and they are using macWrapper Wineskin

Jim does not place too much importance on Trendlines, he even says so himself.

He probably just drew them quickly, to further explain the situation and confluence.

Interesting bit of info

I just discovered that, we can draw box outlines directly on the MT4 charts, instead of using an editor.

Just take the check out of the rectangle tool properties for "Draw as background", and you get a box.

Maybe Mike will find this useful if he doesn't already know about it, which I doubt. Mike knows everything.

Huh?

I thought you were sure it was Linux?

Thought you were a Mac user and knew something about it.
