Eval,

Thanks for posting the video by trimtabs. I thought
it was a very interesting video, I personally believe
the guy is right. (2012)

I remember after Regan was elected I put all my savings
into a stock mutual fund cause I thought the market was
going to take off (let the bull run...). We'll the market
went into the tank! (1980)

I believe after the elections, like Feb of 2013 all hell is going
to break out. No matter who gets elected. So I figure that we
have about 1 year to get our act together to really learn how
to trade the markets, cause it just might be our only job-
income.

So my plan is to get really good at trading this year cause
it might be our saving grace.

Hi,

Nice to know the amount of pips you made in today's not so trending market!

Makes me feel confident about the system more and more. Great trade, Black Eagle!

Would you please post the template you are using? We have so many variations of them but I would like to stick on to one method. It will be very helpful. If you can share your method, please.

thanks

Hi RJ,

I didn't built a "NO ALERT" version for you ??
I remember us talking about it and you said that you'd look at doing it but I think that's as far as we got.

Hi all.

I've included a new parameter in Symphonie_Matrix_Indikator _v1.6 for you to indicate whether or not you want to Symphonie_Extreme_Cycle_Indikator show alerts.

In version 1.6.1 appears alertsExtreme parameter with default value 3, indicating that there will be no alerts from Symphonie_Extreme_Cycle_Indikator.

For this new version works, I should correct a problem with alerts in Symphonie_Extreme_Cycle_Indikator, if you select to see only sell alerts, appears both "Top Cycle Detected" and "Bottom Cycle Detected". (You can test it...

maudur

your version dosen't show the words of the indicators? I have attach a screenshot, is it only with me?

thank you

First of all..Hello Everyone.. I am New to Forex so really good to see so many people discussing constructive Ideas..

Now, Mr. Evaluator.. I would really like to thank you first as Finally just because of you I think I can make some money from Forex maybe slowly but for sure I can....

Now the real Question.... I know you have asked to use all 4 indicators and one alone is not sufficient...Please don't think I mean to disrespect or anything but Has anyone tried just using the Extreme Cycle?? Because according to my Naked Eye it's giving a very good Signal for a Trend...And I find it most effective on 4Hr TF...Now, I am still trying to figure out how many pips of profit can be generated using this but I believe at least 100 pips over 4 to 5 candles that means 16 hours... It might be very slow .. but I don't know .. In fact I checked on one time in a matter of 148 hours it gave around 400 pips ... again experts might be getting those many pips in 4 hours but for me If I can get a positive value out of this for long.. then nothing better than that...

Excuse me If I repeated here something which was already in this thread...but just tried to put something which I noticed..

Also, right now I have opened a BUY position at .50 lot at 1.30242 and it's showing a profit of $198.83 in past 20 hours (don't know how many pips of profit that is).. and it's just by using your Extreme Indicator.. Please let me know if I am using a Wrong strategy...

Again..I am really new to this so please excuse me If I have mentioned something against rules?

Thanks once again to everyone..

In the Matrix 1.6.1 is there a way to set the alert so it 'pings' more than once?

For some reason with my MT4 the first alert sound whether for the built in price alert or the alert with the Matrix the first alert sound in very soft then any subsequent alert sounds are at the 'notmall' sound level.

I deally I could set the number of alert to a number 5 or 10 every few seconds.

I see the code for the alert function looks like where the routine:

if (CalcOnNewBar)
{
if (AlarmOn)
{
if (((buf1_up[1]) && (buf2_up[1]) && (buf3_up[1]) && (buf4_up[1])) &&
((buf1_up[2] == 0.0) || (buf2_up[2] == 0.0) || (buf3_up[2] == 0.0) || (buf4_up[2] == 0.0)))
{
Alert(Symbol() + " " + Period() + " - GoldCycle Matrix Bullish Alert");
}
else
{
if (((buf1_down[1]) && (buf2_down[1]) && (buf3_down[1]) && (buf4_down[1])) &&
((buf1_down[2] == 0.0) || (buf1_down[2] == 0.0) || (buf1_down[2] == 0.0) || (buf1_down[2] == 0.0)))
{
Alert(Symbol() + " " + Period() + " - GoldCycle Matrix Bearish Alert");
}
}
}
}
return(0);
}

If we insert a number for Symmbol and period for: Alert(Symbol() + " " + Period() in the above code would that generate more than 1 alert 'ping' ?

Sorry for the question not familiar with MT4 programming.

I deally I could set the number of alert to a number 5 or 10 every few seconds.

[b] if (CalcOnNewBar)
{

If you want it to Alert you more than once per bar just remove the function 'CalcOnNewBar'. But be warned, you will get a headache from the dinging...



The part (CalcOnNewBar) is a Bool, meaning True or False, and calls the function CalcOnNewBar and if it is returned as True it will continue with the Alert code. If false, meaning we are still on the same CANDLE, it won't spam you.

This will limit your alerts on a 5M chart to one alert every five minutes, or one alert per day on a daily chart.

Alert(Symbol() + " " + Period() + " - GoldCycle Matrix Bearish Alert"); won't change the amount of times you are alerted, Period() simply refers to the current period on the open chart. This whole line is just what generates the alert and what it says. E.G. "EURUSD 60 - GoldCycle Matrix Bearish Alert".

If you are wanting something to definitely get your attention, then set up the email alerts and give it a certain ringtone for when you receive an email on your mobile phone.

By the way if you are planning to remove it for yourself you will have to remove a parenthesis above return(0); also, otherwise there will be a compilation error.

Once this is removed a compilation warning will still be generated but it just means that CalcOnNewBar is not refered to in the code and will be not added to the compiled code. Ignore this.

This will limit your alerts on a 5M chart to one alert every five minutes, or one alert per day on a daily chart.

So if I hear you correctly it eithers goes and I cna't stop it or it just pings once every period for the chart it is enabled on.

IOW I can't set a count number, for example 5 alerts in a period.

Thanks for that info I am in the US and currently London is active at 4am in my area, I would rather have the computer alert when a trade is setting up rather than waking up and spendinghours at the screen waiting to see the trade.

For whatever reason the first alert I miss from MT4, When I set a proce alert it will ping every 10 seconds until I turn it off which is fine.

this may work, I don't use a smart phone perhaps I can set up an email account for the IPad or my computer to ping me when an email is received....

Thanks very much this gives me something to work with to solve my issue and not miss trades.

I am pretty sure you would be able to set something up on your iPad and set it near your bed of a night time. I'm not sure about iOS(iPad) but for my phone, Android, I use the built in GMail app and I can set any ringtone I would like. I get most emails instantly.

iOS should definitely have something similar.

hey guys... i figured Id contribute to this thread... after reading the post about average daily used to help with entering a trade and setting take profits...

I edited a daily range indicator so it not only tells you the historical ADRs but it will now tell you:

current daily range

how many pips until ADR is reached

how much room left for a long/short based off ADR

Hope you all enjoy...:nerd:

Ok, it was a pain in the ass to set it up through GMail. So what I had to do was use my Service Providers email to send it to my GMail.

Top line is the service providers SMTP server, just google this, it's easy to find.

So basically MT4 makes my ISP Email email my GMail...Confusing but works great.

well so fat I set up a hot mail acct just for MT4, now I have set MS Exchange to automatically push the mail to my ipad (this also workd for an iphone)

I put some settigs into mt4 and got an alert but no emial to the hotmail acct yet,

I am thinking that if youenable email alerts under mt4 options that is will get alerts from indicators that have them.

I will let you know if I get a direct hookup, BTW this should also work for android or blackberries smart phones also.

I really wonder that there any Traders out there that trade far more than 3-5 hours a day .
I have heard that the PRO'S mostly trade around 3-4 hours a day because of the high concentration level and the exhaustion that follow after the trade-session.
Any thoughts about this is appreciated.
Thanks
Although what you say is generally correct (I know because I was working as a portfolio manager but mostly trading stocks and bonds), it also depends on the trading style (discretionary vs. mechanical) and time frame you prefer.

A few years ago, I was trading a strategy of my own with a friend in a different time zone and the strategy was requiring constant monitoring of prices because we were trading multiple lots and when first lot was exited with profit, stoploss of 2/3rd of the remaining lots needed to be adjusted to breakeven. We traded this for a year with a great success with 16 to 18 hrs screen time per trader, but as I stated on one of my previous posts, I had many health problems as a result of those long working hours. Therefore, I am only trading 5-6 hrs everyday.

Re. Symphonie, although it requires some discretion, it is very straightforward therefore you can trade it for longer hours especially if you live in Europe. But I don't recommend trading more than 5-6 hrs especially if you are trading lower time frames like M1 or M5. You can achieve very good results by using MM and compounding even with a 30 to 50 pips per day. Consistency does matter in this business.
