Mm interesting mate, thanks for that.

Is it possible to run two instances of the constant range bar script, do I need to run the other instance on an M3 offline chart perhaps?
If you are using EAs, yes. Just assign different offline minutes (2 and 7 for example) to the different charts.

Great to see this thread alive and well. I apologize for not doing my part and posting but I've been in semi-vacation mode for weeks now and have only been trading sporadically.

I did however get down to business today for the European morning only and took some solid pips all things considered. We've barely moved but the trades were fairly straight-forward.

Trade 1 isn't the best looking but as a LH at FO after a smooth Asia run up I thought it worth a shot. +12

I missed the potential mid-FH long. Not the best of levels here but a play out...
Isn't that close to perfection?

You may be right there.

Although I am a personable guy I do like my solitude as well..

What are the girls like in Switzerland? That's a big factor for me
I like my solitude too, but after the first 4-5 months I had had my fill. Not viable as a permanent solution I think. The solitude, that is.

Trade 4 was an exit and reverse. Was hoping as a W pattern (admittedly a messy one) we might see this run to the upper BB (plus we have seen a number of 11:00ish runs lately). Probably should have exited at the 50 since it was sort of a H+S but going to hold at BE instead because I wasn't quick enough up there originally to bank. Not too convinced by the PA but hopefully it pushes up again for some decent pips.
Banked 16 near the 50 level. That took all the patience I had, so glad to be done for the day.

In this one now, with stop at BE. Seems like it won't break 3450...twt.

Well done on that trade I called it a day after the drop to 1.3390.

Cutting your profits is easy to do - I do it all too often But with almost 40 in the bag, why complain?

Thanks, wasn't meant to sound like a complaint.. just a comment. Nice afternoon after a sluggish morning.

Fantastic trading guys

Making me jealous missing out on all these moves while sleeping! Another reason to move time zones!

As per solitude discussion, it may end up driving me insane too. Perhaps if I'm clearing enough I can jet set back and forth

Hi nhen. I tend to agree with the comments made by Medici in #3677.

Some years ago I moved to the Bahamas, which is on NY time. I was trading the e-minis at that time and while it was a wonderful location and lifestyle, there was just my wife and I with alll my mates and family 34 hours travel time away (door to door). So despite the tax-free advantages, I am now back home in Australia, trading the LO.

And let's face it, the early London session often produce great trading opportunities. Our problem is that LO is dinner time for us, at least during the southern summer. Cheers.

Well thanks for ruining my plans to flee the country in a few years guys

Perhaps my time in Switzerland will have to be for part of the year; maybe three months there, then three months somewhere else in europe (south of france perhaps - always wanted a french wife) and then six at home in Aus

Yep the dinner time hours makes it tricky sometimes, in summer it is OK but when things get earlier one can miss FO if at the day job.

Case in point, and if do happen to make some friends you have to be careful not to end up hanging out with people like this:

Medici, Have you made your pips this already this morning??. At least Swiss tv is a little more light hearted than Eastenders, Emerdale, Holby city... need I go on!!!!. Can't you see Nhen's desperate to get to our timezone - Thought you might gift him one of your staff cottages on the new estate!!. Of course I would but I only have the walled garden left!!! .
