{quote} Excellent thank you - I assume all the settings are for H4 charts? Do you have a summary of what how the EA will manage trades based on your settings? I live in New Zealand so 'normal' trading hours are when everyone else is going to bed - hoping I can 'set and forget' with this tool. One last thing I am reading about the benefits of closing trades at 6am Pacific time (2am my time). Can Cave Manager be programmed to do that, or will I have to set my alarm and close trades manually? Hopefully without waking the family :-) Regards, Gavin
No cave manager don't support time based exit. You can use MPTM EA for time based edits.

{quote}Where do you adjust the offset because I have a gmt +0 broker and its showing 8am instead of 7 for London and 13:00 instead of 12 noon for NY.

{quote}Nevermind, I closed and reopened the terminal for a second time and now it works fine Thank you tim, it looks great too
Hmm, it should have done it automatically without restarting the terminal if your broker doesn't adjust to DST. Weird. Glad it works, though

{quote} Looks great timginter, thanks. Is there anyway to turn of the values, or change them from white?
All can be changed in the "Inputs" tab. To change the defaults permanently edit the source code, lines 18-21 for colours.


New version: I added session begin and end MOD to move the beginning/end by specified amount of hours, f.e.
"TokyoMod 4,0" will move the beginning by 4 hours, i.e. show only the last 5 hours of Tokyo session,
"LondonMod 0,-4" will move the end by -4 hours, i.e. show only the first 5 hours of London session.
Please PM me ideas to improve, bugs and questions so we don't discuss programming here

Hello friends.

I hope every body doing good here. This thread is so fast that its hard to catch up when we get time. I am happy being part of it.

Stop over thinking, I always emphasise on "trade what you see not what you think". Just empty your mind of all bulls**t complications , stick to the rules, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes a cup, you put water in a bottle , it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot , it becomes teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friends.

And in time take them off and go back to where we started ?

Thank you Nellycopter, my thoughts exactly. It's not rocket science, but it is difficult. This method worked then and still does which is proven by contributors such as Bizzle, Phx62 etc. It is hard to fight off the urge to add indicators.

{quote} Thank you very much Sir! If you don't mind, I have one last question. I am trying to use Cave Manager with your settings. In your previous description, I found your two setups for both 15M and 1H: Aug 4, 2013 1:14am "I have the Trail By Candle set to true with the pips behind candle at 10 and Activate After Pips set to 16 and the EA is on my M15 chart" http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...72#post6866272 Jun 7, 2013 5:31am "I will use the Trail By Candle on the H1 to trail behind candle HL by 5 pips and that is...
Lastingwell is correct. I abandoned the trailing stops. I only use the CaveManager to set my initial TP & SL when I open any trade and I use the BE tool to bring my SL to BE when price reaches a given point during the trade, depending on how the market is trending at the time. Happy Easter to everyone.

Hello , long time ago I tried to use indicators without chart, sometimes with success, sometimes failure. So, I set up an exercise and did it like this :

  1. make the chart blank ( change from candles to linegraph and give linegraph color "none" ) all indi's off
  2. put ONLY the TDI on chart
  3. move chart to hindsight somewhere
  4. make TDI really LARGE
  5. then draw vertical lines where you think a setup would be good

Who can help pl ?

when I was doing those charts I had taken a snapshot and saved to disk, but when I wanted to upload that ... it wouldn't work.

the only way I could find was to take an old-fashioned PrtScr (print screen) and ctrl-v

is it really not possible to upload an image ?

Interesting,

Maybe you could do that to look for trades but its very important to consider PA also because the tdi gives signals based on its readings of PA and well PA is number one always.

TDI = strong slope
PA= right color you want and good solid close or bouncing of support or resistance level
= high probability win

What i was after was a way to remove the session range values (white numbers circled) or change the colour of them to none.

Hello,

Do i have to change the times in the Breakout boxes ? Itīs called NewYork Breakout Box and London Breakout Box. Itīs because of the change to summer time.

The times should be :

LONDON: 07:00 GMT - 16:00 GMT
NEW YORK: 12:00 GMT - 21:00 GMT

Best regards,

Thanks for taking the trouble.

I Tried this morning but all the times seems to have gone a bit wonky with London now starting at 9pm in the evening on my GMT = 0 MT4 install.

I'll take a another look at it, when the markets re-open as it was working fine yesterday.
