{quote} Yes, saved it there.. on windows 8 is a bit different form win7... goes into Users directory... that is correct.
I copied the perviously saved .SET file from windows explorer and went to the MPTM Load section then copied it over to there when it opened up.

Strange way to do things, and I still can't find the folders within the Users directory that it says it has saved to.

Anyway, everything appears fine (touch wood..) although changing between profiles now takes a second to load up the indis on t the current charts.

Thanks for your help!

Just changing the subject for a minute before I go again Anybody who is having problems with their indicators after their terminal upgraded to build 574 or 600 you need to remove all mq4 files from the new indicator folder, because when the new mt4 tries to compile those you are getting errors. To find out where the new indicator folder is go to your mt4 terminal and click on File -> Open Data Folder. The safest way I found to do it was go to the old folder you used to use, where your indicators used to go, and copy all ex4 files into a new folder,...

AppData is an Hidden directory, you have to go to Panel Control on Folders Options and select to show hidden Files, Folders and Drives for you to see it.

Tried to hope on board GJ going short at the break, didn't work out, out at -50 pips

AE went 40 pips my way, now it's bouncing back up to my entry point. Might be out at BE

Post NFP..
market was subdued when NFP data released.

All JPY pairs simply followed their previous D candle bias and went higher today.

USD pair quite mixed with GU moving nicely up creating a weekly lower shadow.

The EUR and GBP crosses are all sideways for 3 days, so we can look for breakout moves next week.

Hi Direwolf,

Not sure what you saw on your chart, but the previous D was bullish, and with H4 trading with TDI PL above TSL above MBL. H4 shows a double bottom chart pattern and there was no bearish candlestick pattern to scalp.
So I see any sell on H1 would be countrend and hence more risky.

regards,

EMMANUEL

AU lost its upwards momentum the past 2 days.
we have to see where it will close this week.
Below 0.8935 will be good and maybe we see a reversal next week to resume the down trend.
But it can push higher to 0.9040 when China resume business on Monday.

Thanks, I am on M15, so stoch settings are 5-3-3, sorry forgot to mention that.

Time of entry was 9:15. What do you consider the best time to trade this time frame? What you mean with "lo was over"?

Anyone else having issues getting mt4 to connect? I know the market is now closed but I haven't had a problem connecting to mt4 so long as I have an internet connection. I got the prompt saying that my platform has been updated and haven't been able to connect since then. I'd be interested if anyone else is having this problem.

I'm starting to have withdrawals from my charts already

BataviaTrade:

The clue is on your chart posted. Just count back 5,6 and 7 candles from your entry candle, Look at those candle with long upper and lower shadows, and also large range candles.

If you are trading lower timeframes for example M15 or M5, you need to make some adaptions to this H4 method. Many traders here have made their own adaptions for H1 trading. The simple use of the APB/HA and the TDI Green Red will not be sufficient for scalping in M15/M5. The Price Action Channel PAC is useful and I recommend that you consider using it.

Watch this video link.

There are many training videos there and good for learning.

Have a Good Weekend.
