That huge GMT 6am move has really messed everything up. Don't think I'll be taking a trade this morning.
Same here late to monitor so will be looking for setup close to NY open

Booked 15 Pips for half position after PB at 08:35. I am purely trading with 3 dragon system with addition of sonic volume to get direction but changing methods for Exit for better results

Agreed, Putin put risk back on the table....I got in on the pull back at 6:58, took partials at the BRN and added back on the next PB and closed the lot at 8:20 after that high volumed shooting star held at the **25 level and the next attemt failed....-ve TVI divergence too....next up is UK Construction PMI in ~half an hour....

Good that you are using your own variation and banking pips ......I added the MTF stochs and TVI to the 3 D to allow me to change from subjective to objective trading - it makes for less stressful trading

The TVI is certainly good for our setups

Capt, how do you use? Do you wait for it cross 0 or simply draw the trend line?

I have also added TVI and experimenting with it so lets see how it works

Remember that it offers three signals....when it changes colour, when it crosses its zero line and when it diverges from price....

GM - well done. GU and UJ had overnight ranges of 16 pips pre FO and GJ 32 pips, so no joy yet in my usual pairs and cross..

Still, tight ranges are a prelude to expanding ranges, so pop a patience pill....

GM, a couple of trades just after LO. GJ had M15 div long and so was waiting for a HL. One appeared just after LO and then M1 stochs turned back up and TVI positive with UJ and GU moving long and arrow followed. Took 30 pips on this one.

Similar setup on EJ and took 17 pips. Also went long on GU at same time after breaking BBSqueeze but it went nowhere so I exited for +4...

OK Guys, I have a problem.....I have managed to get this indicator into the Data Folder>experts>indicators and also (I think) the library file into the Library folder....but I can't get it to work.....I didn't find how to compile it, so that might be the problem........as you all know, I am not very good at this stuff....

Nice one OR.....I was long GJ and took partials at the old S&R level ~**75 ....holding remainder, looking for the BRN & / or the 4 hr down trend line at ~171.10......TWT

Hey Islander. I loaded the indicator and this is what appeared on my GJ M1 chart (it's the equivalent of Egyptian hieroglyphics for me at the moment!).

In that rar file under the MQL4 folder there are also two other directories (Include, Libraries) which have files in them which I think need to be downloaded as well. I copied these files into their equivalent folders on my MT4 MQL4 platform. That might be the difference. Here's what I got on my chart....

Ah I just realised you said you did copy the Library file but I'm not sure if you also copied the Include folder file?

Thanks OR....I missed that "Include" file.....now trying again....the hieroglypics are the basic Market Profile data and I expect there is an option to convert that into coloured lines....
