Thank's Quezoy, only problem is the Sound alerts only once... Is there anyway to change this?

Hi guys, I have a question concerning the "right" time my broker should use.

As every retail trader needs to follow the masses he also needs to use the same time settings like them. Especially when it's about price action trading, I think.

Is there a "main"time that most broker use, like GMT+0?

AFAIK, most brokers use GMT+0 but the daily close is usually 5PM NY time.

I think most on here use a FXPRO demo account for charting. It uses the NY close and has a good selection of pairs / indices etc.

thanks c-12. it never came to my mind that there are things to be considered like knowing if it is just a retest or a full reversal. thumbs up there!

cheers,

Yeah as Mike always says on here. Zoom right out for the bigger picture.

The only problem with FxPro is they dont have micro lots.

Alpari UK has micro lots, NY candle close and unlimited demo. Though a bit big spread.
Thoughts are things

I don't trade with FXpro. It's only just purely for charting.

Hey i'm searchin for a broker with an unlimited demo account where the candles close with London or New York. (ideally with metatrader)

At the moment i'm using oanda but the servertime sucks.

Do you have a good tip for me?

i use FXCM for demo and charting. im not advertising for FXCM but their platform (tradestation) is clean and user-friendly for me. :-D

and AFAIK, their demo account has no time limit. been demo testing there for months now.

shorted the gbpchf after price broke 10 pips below low of pinbar. see attached. looks like a good trade for me (even though im on a drawdown now).

what do you guys think? looking to get some input from more knowledgeable people here.
just got stopped out. lesson, never go against a strong trend. besides, the pinbar wick was not long enough to look good.

Does anyone know of a good price alarm besides BK's in mt4. Bk's alarm has no pop-ups and needs to be reset everytime you switch a profile or exit the platform. Any idea's?

thanks
have you tried metatrader built-in alarms ?
See the alerts pane show when "Trade" panels is visible (CTRL+T)

I have been so focused on working my way through this entire thread that until this morning I hadn't even looked at the free information available on the private forum.

I just spent a couple of hours of quality time there watching videos in the guest section, and it's just great stuff. For the newbies here, if you haven't used those resources, do so now.

The thread is full of great info, but to see and hear the gurus on this thread talking their way through the setups helped to bring a lot of the information into much clearer focus.
