Right...so this baby has been up 126 pips off today's low to a high of 1.2951 breaking

multi-day fan lines (10/5,10/9...) and consolidating gains here @ 1.2930, in the process

of forming potentially a bullish flag here gathering strength for another leg up.

EUR/USD now = 1.2930
High = 1.2951
Low = 1.2825

See you guys @ LDN!
Alright...I'm unloading my Euro longs here @ 1.3047 for +ve 117 pips profit

My Outlook for EUR/USD is now NEUTRAL.

ken if your there.. this is what a mirror would show. just a place to watch candles and indis.
4h and the day closes in 1.25 h... day is already bullish and unlikely to close in anything bearish looking for a single candle unless under 2985.. its just not going to happen. but the day is still inside.. w/o a higher high (3072+) or a close above 3040 the bulls may be done for now... and may want to regroup. the bulls took out several targets getting here w/o a retrace. mainly 3003/3005 and 3049... if they dont retrace sitting here is still bullish.. on the bear side we have a mirror top at today's high. and we still have 2768 incomplete/ .. when we reached 3049 it would fit the bear steps for 2804.. getting to 2804 is below 2822.. getting below 2822 sets up 2580 if we break 2802 or 3318 if we take out 3073... and break 3173. we moved up during late Asia last night and just continued after. good risk against the top S/R (smaller loss greater reward potential) for bears.. and even if bulls b/o... they usually return at some point before proceeding to a target. 2949 is a place if i was bullish, i would wait for a tired bear.

Hi Gator,

did you look for this MT4 indicator, which is able to mirror the price?

Simply set "Mirroring" to "true"

Little more tweaking.

Fakking LOATHE MT4. Bucket o'shite!


Look at Dealbook yesterday. Download, install, restart...open a program I've NEVER seen before. Play for about five minutes...c'est voila.

MT4? Been through...bang head on desk...stick scrotum in door...SLAM door! Threw out the razor blades in case I wanted to play blade violin on my wrists!

Closer to being complete than the (off/crap) "mirror" lets on above.

For BigRed...

The "close * -1" in MT4 was just returning a true inverse. For example:

1.2995 == -1.2995

Still convinced there has to be a way of doing it on what you were suggesting, but had success going a different route...just before throwing my computers out the window into the middle of Queen Street!

For sisse...

Moving median doesn't match the way MT4 draws line charts. Not sure about other programs, but MT4 uses Period 1 MA applied to Close (not sure if that is their explicit means of doing it, but using a Period 1 MA applied to the Close is the only way to perfectly match MT4's Line Charts...so I'm assuming it is how they do it. I suppose the Close of any tick gives the current price. That's what I've told myself to believe, anyway. ) That is the only way to match (mirror) what is there. Moving median almost plots what looks like a Period 2 MA...actually closer to a Period 1.5 MA.

Grabbed a couple!

They don't mirror an MT4 line chart when set to Period: 1, so...the current value of them rarely match current price. I would just find that confusing, myself. If somebody else thinks there is a benefit to using Moving Median, and they don't mind the discrepancy with price...have at it...not my cup of tea.

-You would just use a Period 1 Moving Median.
-Hide the candles and/or Line from your charts.
-Find a way to mirror the output of the Moving Median.

Go for it! Mind your head, scrote and wrists!

I'm sure there are guys out there that would do this in seconds...mLaden, iGor, Pava, etc, etc, etc. Bastards!



Had a good old search last night...this morn. Nada. Coulda/shoulda put in a request with them...but that would be cheating.

Still might, though...to see what they come up with.

MultiCharts supplied by LMAX (broker). Not sure if you can get a demo from LMAX. It programs in Easy Language (TradeStation's language)

You can get a 30 day demo of MC direct from MC... but you will need a data feed eSignal... DTN etc. They have a couple of versions. One in Easy Language and another in C. It is the LMAX version minus LMAX data and their logo.

FXCM has / had a proprietary package written along the lines of MC, by MC. It codes in C. There use to be a demo... no idea if its still around. Finally there would be Ninja Trader.

At this moment, I use all but NT.
