my results are similar to trinquete. many more winners than losers. i use 10 pip sl and then when i am in past 3 pips in begin to trail by fractions of a pip using a trailing EA. i may get 1 pip, but i may get 5-7, sometimes 10 or more depending on momentum. most trades are a few minutes long and i like getting out of the market fast. so far, i like this style of trading.

Simple as ABCD trading strategy for 2015.. I've been developing my strategy over the last 6 months and improving it as I go, so would like to take this opportunity to show you all my current "version" of my strategy. There have been days when it seems an absolute doddle to trade my strategy and other days when it just doesn't seem to work very well, so it got me thinking , how can I identify these poor days and the easy days when I just can't go wrong...??? Well first of all I've decided to use the 100lwma as my guide to the trend. I've tried other...

Hi clivepackham

"The good days when GBPJPY was flying the TTindy readings were well in excess of 30 plus... somedays as high as 60 to 100 on the TTindy..."

what is the 30 plus and 60 ,100 plus?

sorry for my English,do you mean the slope or other?

thx a lot.

I think I know what I've done wrong.. I have created a default template with the new TTindy in it so every chart it opens has this new TTindy so there are 8 charts open all with the New version TTindy which is obviously too much for it.... Its even slowing down me typing at the moment...

When I eventually get in , if I ever do??? Then I will have a master chart with the TTindy on it and the others with no TTindy so theres only one TTidy working on one chart..

Trouble is I still can't get it to start up so unless anyone knows how I can delete this template I think I'm gonna have to download a new platform and start again....

Any suggestions how I can delete these files without starting up the platform??? How can I get to Data folder ??? and so my template folder and delete my default template????

No big deal if I have to download another platform...

Feel the Fear and do it anyway!!!

Clive - Harold's one liner is the best piece of advice on this thread.

Stop effing about with endless irrelevant variations on a theme & focus on what you have so conscientiously developed : a straightforward trading method.

Yep couldn't agree more, I've said so many times its not complicated , its very simple, we have 2 choices to make UP or DOWN its that simple....

Gonna stop messing about and stick to that and just make sure losers are small and infrequent and winners are bigger an more frequent...

Thats it isn't it???

Thanks for the advice will follow it

just as soon as I get my bloody platform working again...

I'm not 100% sure on how to solve your problem, but here is an idea:

Open up MetaEditor.
In the navigator folder, right click on "Indicators" folder, then click "Open Folder", find the indicator which is causing the problem, and move both the mp4 and ex4 files to another location (e.g. desktop). Close MT4 (if open) and open it, and it should just load without that indicator anywhere on your charts.

At this point you can put the 2 files you moved back to where they were.

Re-instal your brokers mt4 platform again. It will set you back to the default profile. With all you other profiles, templates n indicators intact.

Deleting or removing the rogue EA/indicator usually does the trick to get back in the terminal.
You might want to consider reducing max bars in your terminal to take some of the load off.

Another way is to delete the rogue profile, template, indicator or ea in the infected brokers mt4 platform.

1. Start up another brokers mt4 platform. Open data folder. Click on 'terminal'.

2. Click on infected brokers mt4 platform. Delete the rogue profile, template, indicator or ea.

3. If you do not have another brokers mt4 platform go to start menu ---->computer----->C:---->users---->user----->Appdata---->Roaming---->MetaQuotes----->Terminal----->(rogue brokers mt4 terminal code)

You can also get to your data folder from Metaeditor, which should open up fine:

Clive - this has happened to me lots of times when an indi is so CPU intensive that it just "hangs" the computer.

What works for me is to shut down computer, re-open and go to indi file and delete it. Then when you reopen mt4 it should be ok.

Clive, go to your mt4 data folder and open the profiles folder, there open lastprofile and you see the last used profil. Then delete that folder in profiles and mt4 will open clean.
Othere way, just delete every folder in the profil folder.

Thanks guys all sorted now, went to Meta editor and deleted all the profiles and the idicators and templates.. Running faster than ever now but will put the latest TTindy back on and see how I go...

Godsclown can I have a master template on the first chart which will have the new TTindy on like a master chart , then the other charts it opens up will be like slave charts and I will use a default template without the TTindy on them so just the first chart will have a TTindy on it???

Does that make sense???

Or will it change the "master" template to the default which won't have a TTindy on it???

I'll try it and see what happens....

Easter bank holiday here but interestingly NFP in USA but it hasn't been its usual volatile reaction has it?? Good old London boys too busy stuffing their faces with Easter Eggs I guess...

Never mind its slightly negative bias for USD so took this post news release trade on GBPUSD which I will leave to run a bit probably to end of day...
