Cable finally closed out at 1+2. On H1 Cable is basically still in a 100p-tall consolidation. The big boys are still deciding what to do with this pair, after the 10000 pip freefall it just took since December.

Somewhere in this thread I think someone modified a old version of this indicator and added the push notifications to its name and it created a popup alert immediately on my ipad.
Can I get this latest indicator to send those?
I currently have Alerts set to: 31 and send notifications to: 1.
I can see the messages but I have to open the metatrader app and look is there any messages so I need to constantly check it.

I'm quite sure that I have the setting right on my ipad.

Bit of a boring day actionwise but gave me a chance to re-think some strategy. Nice conservative EJ came home and more aggressive one still running.

Have a look at the paperclip on top right of screen, just below and between where it says Market and Brokers, click on it, click on "Hide Images" and choose the one you want.

Sure I could use that old indicator but then I couldn't use the EMA filter for example.
So I just wanted to ask does this latest indicator have the same feature.

But thanks anyway, I have to take a look if I could leave it in the background just to send those notifications...

I have tried that old version and it looks like I can't get it working either in a way I remembered
So the "problem" is most likely in ios settings.

Does anyone have those push notifications with sound alerts etc. working?

If anyone is interested here is the post to the old indicator:

Hi Altos,

Are you using the new version? The "Send Notifications" has to be set with a number, mine is 03 and it works. Make sure your id number is still set on your mt4 platform under Tool, Options, Notifications.

Here is the original post to explain the numbers.

Quoting xux99
SendEmail, SendNotifications, ScreenShots and Alerts options are now two digit values. For the first digit, 0 means no action, 1 means an action only when a trade is opened, 2 only when a trade is closed, 3 in both cases. For the second digit, 0 means no action, 1 means an action when a new CZ is formed.

If I may continue with the notifications... I found that someone else has had same problem and it would indeed suggest that something has changed in ios or in the mt4 mobile app.
Quoting console
I use the "push " notification service which sends the alerts from the terminal to the iphone mobile app.

Is anyone else experiencing an issue that seems to have started this week where the alert is sent and does arrive but there is no on screen notification and you dont see the alert unless you launch the app and look at messages ?

I did think maybe it was a mobile issue but having rebooted and also tried it on the ipad it seems to point towards MT4. All the sound, badge, screen lock ect.. settings are turned on and it has been working...

I've dropped USDCAD a while ago as I've seen some up and downs resulting in high recovery trades. For me the good pairs at the moment is EURJPY, GBPUSD and EURAUD.

Did anyone else get hit by what exactly? You're drawing your boxes by hand, so anything you do it 100% discretionary. None of us will have drawn the same boxes as you, or opened the same trades either.

Nope. Seems like he's caught in the loop of needing 100% winners, even on demo.

Its been a while since I posted a chart - this is a 4 hour chart - you may notice that I have blocked out the number of pips won on the chart.

I did this to keep my brain chemistry in check. What happens is: the vision of pips won excites my brain as if it happened, releasing feel good dopamine. Dopamine is a very addictive compound and the expectancy of pips won releases a lot of dopamine. One of the reasons I get a lot of satisfaction out of adjusting the indicator instead of trading the market is the release of dopamine when I see a large pips won number. Like a rat pressing a button to get an electrical shock that releases dopamine. The rat will do it over and over and over just for the feeling. I am the same - addicted to the rush of expectancy.

By taking the pips won out of my information window, I am lessening the release of dopamine, thereby allowing me to stay more focused on the market and out of the expectancy/dopamine release cycle.

I recommend reading anything on neuroeconomics just to see how your brain may be effecting your trading.

have not had a losing day in 3weeks so today was quiet a shock!

still in it for the long hall of course

to be fair though even though i make hand drawn boxes and its a discretionary system people have come across the same czs here and there as me so

its reasonable to assume others had the same losers

best regards fxh - youve spoilt me hehe
