Just for information. for those who have not yet worked out how to save a chart / s for posting

Within MT4 is a screen grab facility. make sure the chart you want to save is the active chart, then
File. Save As Picture. ---- This screen opens and you have options, I use them as you see for saving a single chart. Remember to "Untick" the "Post Image online" box.

If you want to post 2 charts side by side, but you do not want your account information displayed at the top of the screen, I use a utility called PickPick it has multiple options for screen and image grabbing plus a very useful image editor and on the plus side it has a very small system foot print when it is active and it is free. I have used it for years with out any problems at all.

PS. Save your images as PNG files, they have a smaller file size which is kinder to the FF server space.

GER30 +71x3+109x3. No brainer, multiple choice entry, either a 123 or BPC. Multiple choice exits as well so I played safe and went with the measured move of the 123. {image}
Dee... are you human? Or you just a super computer that is doing trading and playing chess against Kasparov, Kramnik and Carlsen at the same time?

I read the thread but could you please explain a little bit more your entries? Specially how you draw and chosse what fibbo levels to use.

Thank you in advance.
(it's the first time that I thank to a computer)

hola Dee50 hight recomended Synergy Hiken ashi for hight probality and excelant setups
Thanks Emma, but we have already been thru that one very early on in the thread.

Heiken Ashi is an important component of the TMS method because they hide the "noise" of standard time based bars and their purpose is to keep you in a trade longer.

With Renko Bars Heiken Ashi is superflous, Renko bars, because they are not time based, do exactly the same job, they eliminate the noise.

I used Heiken Ashi for years while I was trading the TMS method and the one thing I found was that they are great for keeping you in a trade when using standard candles but they are useless when it comes to the entry. That is why many traders have the Standard candles showing thru the Heiken Ashi.

There is no Kissing smiley in FFs smiley range other wise you would have got a couple of those as well. I think FF is too Macho for a kissing smiley, shame really!

I don't normally use Hotkeys, but I was trying to get Matomi's scripts working just now for a quick scalp trade, they would not, when I inadvertently hit "ALT - B"

This window opened, and bugger me if it isn,t an order entry manager built into MT4, I have been trying it out, you set SL and TP and lot number, then you have the option of Market Entry or Pending order, just right click on a price and another little window opens up with the options.

Warning. Look at the numbers in the table, you will not notice it at first, but the table only shows 2 pips either side of the price so when placing a pending you need to move it manually with your mouse, quickly!! or alternatively just right click on a chart where you want a pending order and a menu comes up with the options.

PS. The settings you see are for a 10 pip Sl and 10 pip TP, you probably will have to work out what you need for your broker as always.

PSS. Just found you can stretch the TM for some extra pips. still not many. I think right clicking the chart is the best option for pending orders.

Everyone else platform working ok? That big spike just before ECB rate took out my TP (phew!) but platform still not up to speed. Very annoying as not possible to trade. Was with ETX - but they had data feed problem, now with GKFX.

It's about time to take a break and watch the show. First day putting Renko to the test, result is satisfactory. it's 2.5 Renko chart, I also have M5 and M30 H4 candlestick charts to get comprehensive view of the market.
Thanks Dee50, Islander and mates in the here for sharing ideas and inspiring , really appreciate that.

I try when I have a window of time.... trying not to make suitable disasters.
concentration and calm that we know are key in this discipline ... and now I do not have much of either but
I really missed the operativity, sharing ideas...

Was going to post this when I've tried it out a while but since it is a hot-ish topic at the moment, thought I'd post it, if anyone cares to try it out.

It's an EA for placing market orders and moving SL, TP - so you will need to make sure you get a smiley face!

It's not perfect but works for me (so far so good). However, when I placed the EA on an offline chart, sometimes the buttons don't work - possibly clashing with my indicators - I don't know. I'm not a deep thinker, I'm happy to tweak things so long as it works for me - so my solution is simply:
a) open another DAX chart
b) set chart to be in an inactive price zone (eg 12000-12200).
c) change chart settings so nothing is drawn i.e. grid, ask line, etc all set to background colour or none.

I'm not a coder, but if anyone wants to tinker with the code - it's attached.

I think you will find that every platform froze, with out exception!!

Mine is still very jerky but I think it is just the sheer volume of data that is coming down the lines.

That I can live with.

When ETX played up two weeks ago, I first thought it was my machine or my broadband, then when it carried on for a second day, I called ETX only to find out that yes, they were having problems with data feed - but did not have the gumption to inform their customers. Live and learn.

Thought my platform had stabilised. Placed a Sell with 40SL and 80 TP. Wanted to move SL down but platform stalled. When it 'woke up' again TP taken. I don't like not being in control so shutting down for today; thankful pips went my way. The way my platform is behaving - could easily have gone the opposite direction.

Made a ludicrous amount of pips, but my platform is as jerky as hell so I am just going to wait for the reversal to start, which it will, and that will happen at a more normal rate, the spread will return to normal as well, had a couple of 50 pip TPs that got taken for half, always a problem with Draghi, he sends the market into a frenzy. But he is nothing if not predictable.

Was about time for both DAX and EU to reverse. Jesus christ, would've thought 8GB RAM I7 would suffice, but the lag is too much!
