MT4 for android is surprisingly clean and clear and well made.

Putting a small sell here (1423) for later. sl is open, tp is 5 pips. Killing it, not worth it.

your 36 and 60 are so much closer now, my reversal point now is a 5min and 1min close below 12

although if you had been filled at 23 bid, you could have gotten your quick 5 just now.

Just realized there was a spread of over 15 pips (when it bid over 27) between the top here and my sell point. That could be enough for a sell...

425 worked like a charm Maybe MT4 is ok on Android but the desktop version is prehistoric. I'm not using MT4.

So close and so far It reached 200% extension and stopped there. Gonna take profits and reenter if your reversal point is reached, just locked at 1.1406 (be+3). The short was gonna make it anyway, was filled at 243 but closed at 241. Where do you run your algos? I have my trade manager at amazon aws (free tier - frankfurt - 16ms from broker) but sometimes it's too slow to connect there with rdp.

My recent algo testing now is SO simple I can run it from home, but my other EAs are on a VPS hosted in Amersterdam.

Amazing they ran it through 12 to 10ish but couldn't keep in under on the 5mn. Could be back for another run and it will also probably increase the level of the short sig to a closer to the top price, either way it's good.

In fact it just did, if we do not get a close above 20 now, I'm short...

Waiting for another long if it is happy, seeing if it just sucks shorts in this move (think it's fake as still supported by 98-00 Asia high).

Waiting for EG to lose another 10 pips to support before entering.

My signal now says a 5mn close above 15 (bid price) currently triggers long, now 09 bid. I shorted at 174 so can TP anytime here but want to see how the signals play out on new algo trade 2.

Had a feeling that they would push up at the bottom of that 5mn regression channel near 1.14 which also equates to near 15p from my reversal, was considering TP at the bottom there, but need to see how this algo works without intervention. We'll see if they give it another run up here or if it dips below 1.14

Yeah, I closed GU with big loss yesterday, didn't give it time. Just scalp shorts and raise your be, better than adding and keeping them at this time while you have much lower.

My lines are closing in, preparing for breakout. Will buy here with small sl 1.1401. be @1.1418 if it goes.

no, i mean, i closed them in profits, today.. i had my TP at 1.5287, but closed them early at 1.5257.. stupid move.. i trailed my SL to 1.5250, but was afraid that it may got hit.. so i closed them myself.. and then saw price ride up.. typical trade for me..

so guys, what are today's levels? no one seems to have posted it..

Yeah, I do that all the time with tp's. Unfortunately not stopping before sl too. From what I understood, Kzx's levels today are 65-95-25-55 and their mids.

Btw if you don't already know it, mt4 needs only cpu so set affinity to 1. Here is a nice guide: https://www.mt4copier.com/improve-mt...-copier-speed/

Thanks. I'll check it out.

But, I don't copy trades, or use trade copier. The EA are mine, proprietary I coded myself over years of trial and error and still making errors. I have them on the server directly and log into via remote when I need to check on the screens, I can also of course log in simultaneously anywhere with windowsOS.

It's not about trade copier, but just to show how you can do it permanently to run with affinity 1. I am in the blind again, live server down for like 10th time in 3 days.

When I look at it now (still mobile). Then lower band was 375, round up upper to 405 so OR 375-405, fake out should've been around 420, went a bit higher.
I just picked up a spot where the swing started as the levels change temporarily when intra swing is started/completed.
I'm puzzled a bit right now this whole area looks like a mine field.

I think we all kinda went with the flow and decided to not post all of them all at once in one post, but allow you and/or others to figure them out, by the posts. We are still putting out entry times and levels and numbers here just to keep it real and honest and compare notes...but to post them everyday is....we'll this is not a trading advisory service, just an office away from the office, and now we have over 90 traders looking at us during peak hours, most are just curious, but you never know who's lurking...don't want to give out secrets EVERY DAY all the time. It's hard to find a group of real like minded traders focusing on only scalp/intraday so here we are...

Time for you to google "pivots" and put them on YOUR charts and find which ones you like best eh.

BTW, on the long side now, traded above reverse to buy point and pretty sure we'll close here above it, plus they took my sell sl out BE+1, MFE was +15 at one point, so still have a lot to work on with this algo from a TP viewpoint, but the entries are so far good for me.

Ahhhh, we DID NOT close a 5mn bar above 11 yet!!!! Might have bit a bullet here. Ah, we missed a close over 11 by ticks, closed at bid 109. Crap, anticipated a signal and it did not trigger, now I am holding a long at a level I do not want.

Buy level now at 5 min close above 06
