This metatrader upgrade makes me want to cry and bang my head against my screen really hard... While I do not understand why an upgrade to something that was already working near perfection was needed, I am powerless and would have to cope... That being said, how do you change your indicators' code nowadays?

I changed my TDI code the old fashioned way and yet the change doesnt seem to have worked once I start my platform... Any clue? Tech-savvy people? Help

Would someone familiar with Eelfranz's teachings care to elaborate - Eelfranz stated I only trade 1hr charts during the 1st 3 hours of the USA OPEN and 4hr trades at night .
I check for set ups at 10pm Pacific, 2am and close al l 4 hour trades by 6am Pacific.....
With regard to the 4 hour trades 10pm Pacific = 0600gmt. This time is in the closing hours of the Asian session & 2 hours ahead of London in my calculations - why did he nominate that time?

Big E was based in Oregon, so he traded the H4 because that was how he liked to trade and the time zone was suited to Pacific

Big e would trade in the 8pm to 9pm pacific time frame and he would check trades every 4 hours

Thanks for replying Britpip BUT my point is why THAT time when it is at the end of the Asian session & London not yet open. By using GMT times anyone can work out the times to trade in their timezone. Cheers Oldie

Hi WDays, I noticed the same thing. I got the program working again by following the list of warnings in the errors tab.
For example, it now expects each module path to return a value using the return() statement. It has also introduced new data types such as uint and your existing code must be altered to match. The program didn't work until I'd dealt with all of the warnings. I've only had to make minor changes so far. Let's hope it's all worth the effort.

I have a simple solution.
I keep an old version build509 offline and use that version's MetaEditor for all my coding work.
The complied .ex4 files will run in build600 with no problems... so far.

Here is a link to how FF Member hanover did it. http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...03#post7269903

Dear Emmanuel,

I have saved my all ex4 files to new MQL4 file& i think it is running without any error.
Pls see below image & advise why my custom indicators are in silver color? before those were in yellow color.

yellow means you have the mq4 saved and they can be edited with the MetaEditor.
the grey colour means those were copied .ex4 files (the compiled codes) and these cannot be edited by the editor.

For those who are trading EURAUD pair, here is what I would like to share with you. This is for next week' trading and also the coming weeks in Feb month. Be caution that China resume business next week after the Lunar New Year holidays and we expect more liquidity, and market will slowly pick up speed. So I am watching closely the Aussie strength... AUDUSD, EURAUD, GBPAUD, Trade Well. {image}

EA 10 Feb:

Following my Big Picture, on H1 the day open and continuation upward nicely following the 2 previous D bullish Pin bars.
Now we shall see how far higher it will go by managing our stops trailing behind.
So long as the PA is above its weekly pivot , we will good and to keep our trades open.

From what I know, Big E was trading with FXDD and that broker has a new H4 candle at those hour - PST 10pm, 2am and 6am,.... He made it simple and traded those H4 candle and TDi cross. He did not consider the various market sessions opening and closing times. He looked at the candle size.
So if anyone here wants to trade simple, just follow his way and also open a account with broker with server GMT+2. In this way you will have the same H4 candle like his.

if you are trading based on TDI cross and the APB change in colour, what is the purpose of that 34EMA wave channel and 89EMA on your chart and how do you use them for these two trade decisions?
