Trade 1....a typical London trade....low of session set by 1st candle....price moved up to ADR (after some bouncing around).
Trade 2.....entered during Frankfurt on a break of the Asian session...price retraced...exited at 27 pips.
Trade 3....entered a 20 pip scalp trade following a reversal and move in the direction of the trend.
Trade 4....another typical London trade...high set by first candle...pullback...entry on candle 2.
Trade 5....bounce...
Congrats Phx62. Great treads.
I always appreciate your charts and explanation of each trade. Thank you so much and keep on coming.

Just click on the Bar chart button in your toolbars and the open and close will appear behind the HA´s. The button you are looking for is in the top lh of the chart image attached, next to the candle button. This will be elsewhere on yours.

Edit. Sorry just re read your question. If you want the bar chart on top of the HA´s??? You will have to get someone to change the code, although the nibs appear behind the HA´s and only occasionally you can not see them. As this is a personal taste item you will need to contact some of the coders on this forum and see if they will modify the code for you.

Dee,

I feel very stupid to ask you this but could you please share your template. I'm realty not able to make the custom TDI working. I added the Exponential 7, 34 and the Bollinger by choosing Apply to: First Indicator Data which was the RSI but everything looks very wrong.
Have a look below and feel free to laugh
[IMG]file:///C:/Users/cristi/Desktop/pic1.gif[/IMG]
As I said I do not use the custom TDI but I put a template together for you, it was quicker than trying to tell you how to do it. I left the bollinger bands off because they do not encompass the action as they should. If you really need them talk to TP040 who came up with this idea.

If you want the arrows you will need to add the TMS Osc Cross indi to your indicator folder. If not, then just delete it from the template.

I have posted a chart along with this post. I think what you might be describing is what I use - I like to see the bar very clearly and have the HA or synergy bar put behind the bar. This has many advantages that I will not go into detail right now, but if yer interested, you should be able to achieve it by going to your charts tab at the top of MT4 platform and scroll down to click on foreground chart. If you havent done so yet, you need to make the bars a different color from your synergy bars by pressing the F8 key or right clicking and going to properties. Make the necessary changes to make them contrast with the synergy bars. I threw this pic together quickly to demonstrate it easily. Hope this helps. Good day S3 traders.

LL

P.S. It occurred to me that the Synergy bars might be different than the Heikan Ashi bars I have in the pick so I downloaded them and tried it and yes the synergy bars do react the same way as the HA.

I would like to set up my charts to show the London and New York sessions with a boxed outline so that the box expands to the high and low of the session much like Phx62 uses.
The nearest I can find is Sessions.mq4 - See screenshot. The verticals work fine but the horizontals for the high and low seem to be offset by one candle so not ideal.
Can anyone advise on something better. I have tried the various ones listed in the attachments for this thread but no luck so far. Any help with this would be great - thanks

I have had similar on demo with FXDD. Did you allow for the spread in your profit target? Also, was it a high or a low of the day at the time, the reason I ask is that no matter how reputable!!!!!! the broker is, they have a habit of widening the spreads at high and lows which serves 2 purposes. 1. you do not get filled and . 2. It take stops that might be at that area. What you can do?? I have no idea, sorry, this is one of the reasons I do not trade spot forex!!!!

Looking back thru earlier posts, found this from PHx62. Hope he doesn´t mind.

"Took 2 trades today....the first one was a lesson in patience....it went up 46 of the 50 pips I needed and bounced around but it finally hit my TP about 8 hours later. I did not monitor the trade after moving my SL to BE....otherwise I probably would have exited for a smaller profit. One thing I have noticed is that when the TDI red line is sloping up at a good angle, many times the green line will bounce off it or cross slightly, then cross back over and continue in the same direction as the red line.
The second trade was just the opposite.....a cross of the TDI, entry on the opening of the 2nd candle and a quick 50 pips. Overall a very good 100 pip day. "

EDIT

I am assuming the same applies when the red signal line is pointing down??

Traders Dynamic Index.mq4
Copyright 2006, Dean Malone

Traders Dynamic Index

This hybrid indicator is developed to assist traders in their ability to decipher and monitor market conditions related to trend direction, market strength, and market volatility.

Even though comprehensive, the T.D.I. is easy to read and use.
Green line = RSI Price line
Red line = Trade Signal line
Blue lines = Volatility Band
Yellow line = Market Base Line

Trend Direction - Immediate and Overall

Immediate = Green over Red...price action is moving up.
Red over Green...price action is moving down.

Overall = Yellow line trends up and down generally between the lines 32 & 68. Watch for Yellow line to bounces off these lines for market reversal. Trade long when price is above the Yellow line, and trade short when price is below.

Market Strength & Volatility - Immediate and Overall

Immediate = Green Line - Strong = Steep slope up or down.
Weak = Moderate to Flat slope.

Overall = Blue Lines - When expanding, market is strong and trending. When constricting, market is weak and in a range. When the Blue lines are extremely tight in a narrow range, expect an economic announcement or other market condition to spike the market.

Entry conditions

Scalping - Long = Green over Red, Short = Red over Green

Active - Long = Green over Red & Yellow lines

Short = Red over Green & Yellow lines

Moderate - Long = Green over Red, Yellow, & 50 lines

Short= Red over Green, Green below Yellow & 50 line

Exit conditions*

Long = Green crosses below Red

Short = Green crosses above Red

* If Green crosses either Blue lines, consider exiting when when the Green line crosses back over the Blue line.


IMPORTANT: The default settings are well tested and proven.

But, you can change the settings to your trading style
RSI_Period = 13; //8-25
RSI_Price = 0; //0-6
Volatility_Band = 34; //20-40
RSI_Price_Line = 2;
RSI_Price_Type = 0; //0-3
Trade_Signal_Line = 7;
Trade_Signal_Type = 0; //0-3

Price & Line Type settings:
RSI Price settings
0 = Close price [DEFAULT]
1 = Open price.
2 = High price.
3 = Low price.
4 = Median price, (high+low)/2.
5 = Typical price, (high+low+close)/3.
6 = Weighted close price, (high+low+close+close)/4.

RSI Price Line & Signal Line Type settings 0 = Simple moving average [DEFAULT]
1 = Exponential moving average
2 = Smoothed moving average
3 = Linear weighted moving average

Good trading,

Dean

I do not trade London session on fridays, I do the shopping instead but I like to try and get a few pips when I get back. This afternoon has been kind to me. Chart 1 is EU +30 pips. Chart 2 is E-Mini S&P + 25 pips. Combination of PA trades confirmed by TDI cross

Thanks Dee50.
I tried i-Sessions but it seems to do the same thing.
Am I being dim ?

Attached image shows i-Sessions set up with EUR Open @10:00 - tan background
The blue candle which formed at 10:00 clearly went well above the open yet the indicator shows the high as being much lower
In fact the indicator is using the high of the 11:00 candle rather than the 10:00 opening candle
I've now tried half a dozen indicators and they all seem to do the same thing.

I want to keep track of the high and low in the London Session but so far there doesn't seem to be an indicator that accurately shows this.

Am I doing something wrong or mis-understanding something

Any help would be appreciated

I see what you mean, never noticed it before, I would hazard a guess and say that this is down to the broker. The brokers open and close the candles, so if the broker closes a candle at 09.59 and that is the high candle for the day it would not count as the high of the day according to the session indis. Where as, looking back on a chart, if the high or low forms during the session it is not a problem. I know of no cure and as I have never noticed it before it has never been a problem. I tend not to use session markers to tell me where the high and low are, I use my eyes much more reliable.

With the market as it is, I will settle for + 30, for this morning. Afternoons I have gone back to trading the E-Mini S&P bit more volatility.

Reasons for the trade should be obvious on the chart. Reason for exiting should be obvious on the chart.
I seen that you use buy/sell orders to trade the bounce of 200 ema. Can you offer more details about this, please?! (TP, SL, when you trade this bounces and when you don't)
