can I put one chart over another? MeaningI have a chart of say EURUSD and want to overlay USDCHF so I can see how when one currency pair moves then I see what the other will do.

Also, I know there is a way to change the time. I just am not sure how to set it. I know I have to click on the bottom left corner and put some symbol in but, I just don't know what I need to put in there. Any comments would be highly appreciated.

No, u are not able to overlay charts within MT4, and u are also unable to change the time. Here is a link to the StrategyBuilder mt4 platform userguide.

AFAIK tis is not possible. I have been already thinking about writing an indicator, that would show the relation of other currency pairs to the actual pair... this could help to choose the best suited pair to trade

Just looked at your indicator. At first glance, noticed a possible crossover method developing when comparing EURUSD, GBPUSD, and EURGBP. Having a little trouble with historical data, but that could be because I'm behind a corporate firewall.

I think you could be on to something. Great work.

Interesting indicator RoBiK, easy & quick reference as to movements without changing charts.
Cheers,

i have updated the indicator, because i found some litle bugs in the code
i have also added usage of moving average to smooth the output. If you do not want smoothing, set MAPeriod = 1.
if you have questions about how to interpret this indicator, feel free to ask
basicly it shows how other currencies are moving against one of the currencies in the reference pair (against wich one of the two from the pair depends on the selected pairs for the indicator)

cheers

Any one know how well SBFX and Oanda's quotes compare? Are they really close? I know by watching for a while, I will find out but, I was just wondering what others thought.

I only know SBFX spreads from the demo but they are wider than Oanda. Oanda's spreads seem to be the best for EURUSD than any other platform at the moment. I use SBFX for charting and Oanda for trading.

Can I use this indicator to compare multiple time frames on the same pair? For example, I would like compare the movement of the 10m GBP with the 60min GBP. Or to expand even further, can your indicator be modified to compare other indicators. I would like to know when the 60min STOCH is oversold, so I can begin spotting long entries on the 10min. Thanks. Just curious.

Hi,
this indicator can only comapre different pairs to each other on the same timeframe. Auctually i have no idea what you mean by comapring different timeframes? Maybe if you explain it a litlle more... Anyway, new indicator would be needed for that.
Now to the stochastic. I have written that indicator for you. As you can see it is pretty simple so with litle prgramming skill you can adapt it to show other indicators in diferent timeframes.

Use the TimeFrame parameter to change the timeframe. It is by default set to 0, wich means it uses actual timeframe. Change it to desired value in minutes. For example you want to have stochastic for H1 timeframe, wich means TimeFrame = 60.

I am having problems with mt4. I have the vegas daily downloaded and the knife downloaded also. Any time I try to put the vegas on my charts, I get this chiming noise and all the numbers on the left hand side of the screen are at 0. Also some of the charts like USDCAD are not working properly on 4 hr and higher. This is both on IBFX and SBFX. My question is, do I need to reinstall it or what?

hi rens,

It may not be working because it's on a weekend and no new quotes are arriving (new quotes trigger the indicator to refresh or something). You may try to change profiles and see if it works..

The chiming noise may be due to the setting in the indicator for making sound alerts. So I'm not sure if it's the VWB indicator or the knife.. But I think it's most probably the knife.. What version are you using for both the indicators??

Anyway, do check out the inputs in the knife first if there's an input there for soundAlerts or something...

If you're still not able to fix them.. Please post the indicators you're using and I'll try and check them out tom.

Regards,
East

I have never posted a chart but, here it is. I hope I did it right.

When I open it, it looks like this but, I did notice that when I zoom in, it looks like it should and then I can zoom out a little. If I zoom out too much, it goes back looking like this. Also, before I put any indicators on it, it still looks like this.
