Thank you all for your welcomes.

To answer your question, Clive, I am honestly no expert on the differences between MT4 and MT5, as I haven't used MT4 much. Probably if you put "MT4 vs MT5" in your search engine, you'd get more useful information than I could give you. My main thinking was that I might as well start with the new version, because people will probably gradually switch to it, as long as it isn't worse. I heard that the coding language was a bit more flexible, however MetaQuotes might be putting some of those changes into MT4 as well. Again, I am no expert. MT4 still seems to be more popular, so it's a case of whatever works for you, really. Perhaps the best way to find out if you prefer MT5 is to just give it a go, if you are interested. And yes, MT5 is the successor to MT4, made by the same company (MetaQuotes).

Took a quick 13 pips out of that little push up but have a look at this daily chart of EURUSD. As you can see this is a strong trender on daily TTindy in fact the strongest and we have a very nice level at 1.1100 to sell at,plus the CCI is overbought in a strong trender downwards. So anyone who's interested in longer term charts might be a nice long term trade to sell any turnover on the 1 minute 100lwma today as it might be the last time it turns down for a very long time if this EUR weakness USD strength is going to continue..

By the way looking at this daily chart we can see a nice little pullback been going on for last two weeks , anyone got any ideas why???


Has there been some USD or EUR fundamental news to change the long term view???

Or is it the end of the first quarter and the Banks Traders are looking to bank their profits to make their end of quarter bonuses???

Need a new Porshe do we boys????

If that is the case then adds even more support to a good selling opportunity on the horizon very shortly, maybe not today but soon , mark my words soon EURUSD will be heading back down with a vengeance as they can't leave all that money sitting in their banks for too long can they????

GBPNZD top of TTindy (sensitive mode) and bought first HL after a HH... All part of my "wave surfer" strategy, hoping to get bigger winners and smaller losers...More trades but bigger profits hopefully.

Time will tell...

Yes but its not that brilliant what I would like is a trailing entry , move to BE EA that takes over the entry for me also picks the lot size depending on my money management scheme.

Maybe our new man Katktrader or even Godsclown could have a chat with me about coding one up as that would be very useful...

I could possibly give it a go. I assume you'd want it in MT4, so it might take me a little longer.

The more important question would be what exactly do you want it to do? Something like the following would be possible:

In an up trend:
If CCI 2 candles ago was < -100, and CCI 1 candle ago is > CCI 2 candles ago, create a buy stop order 2 pips above high of previous candle.
Put the stop loss 10 pips away.
If a new candle comes along and the buy stop hasn't been hit, move the buy stop to the "new" previous candle high.
Keep moving the buy stop for n number of candles.
Once in a trade, move to break even once in n number of pips profit.

Opposite rules where applicable for a down trend.

Let me know if anything needs adding or changing about those rules. I can give it a go over the next few days.

I found this trailing stop awhile back (can't remember the thread), but haven't really tested it much. Might work. Let me know if you find a good setting . . .
It has multiple functions for types of trailing stops.
