{quote} Hi Nostromo, {image} Its alright if you use only one MA some people use more than one (5ema, 50 ema, 200 ema etc.) Yes, you can use stochastics indicator if you are comfortable with it as Big E said its no more than a little confirmation of TDI crosses. Kindest regards
MrAussieFX, thanks for the help!

Dear Seniors and Experienced members

I am a newbie using MT4 by Alpari, I am in UK and the broker server time is GMT +2
London Opening time is 08:00 GMT but H4 candles are appearing on my MT4 at 06:00 GMT, 10:00GMT, 14:00 GMT, 18:00 GMT ........so on
I want to trade the London session and have no idea how to overcome this issue.

I will be extremely thankful if some can suggest me how to overcome this issue and best use the London session trading

Thanks in advance

Hi mazibee,
There is no way to change when the H4 candles change as it is based on your broker. I'm in the UK and have the same server time as you. It's actually a good setting as you get the 06:00 candle (if you are up early enough) that can set the session direction and the 10:00 candle to take trades from. You've then got until 18:00 for your trades to run.
Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

Hey guys, could someone point me to a basic guide for backtesting on MT4 please?
I have scrolled my 4H back to e.g. Sept 15 to start backtesting but if I try to switch to daily to get the daily trend, or even if I zoom in/out on the H4 to see more detail or try and see the overall trend it does not maintain the same date/time at the right edge of the screen, it seems to zoom on the center of the screen. This means I end up getting a 'sneak preview' of what is ahead rendering my trade decisions invalid.

When backtesting do you simply have to stick to the one level of zoom and only trade the H4 signals or is there a way to fix the zoom and switching timeframes to make the date/time on the right of the screen consistent?

Hi Nostromo,

the easiest way is to open the same pair in a few tabs. So you are looking for Setups in H4 with normal zoom, when you find it you switch to the other h4 window with less zoom an press F12 until youre on the point of your potential entry. You can do the same with Daily ore weekly. Make sure that you dont fool yourself with clicking to wide in the future. In other words if your entry is at the 15.03.16 click daily till 14.03.16. Same for weekly.
For shifting easily forward place your crosshair (CRTL+F) quite right on the last candle, then it shows you the date, now you can easily press F12 and look for entrys.
I do the same.

Hope you got it.

best wishes Candle

The indicator didn't draw for me - I think because it has a call to deinit in init. I removed that and updated to have the new event handlers (OnCalculate instead of start, ect.). Anyway the attached does draw for me.

That's because my broker doesnt have MT4. My entries are on a web based patform. Could post that but imagine that would only confuse.

Thanks for the MT4 lesson though.

Out for a couple of pips when trade went against me.

2nd trade today M15 TDi cross. Next candles shot up for easy 16pips. Could maybe hold for more but no need to be greedy on a bank holiday.

i have been trading TMS from March 21st
i have been been very strict with myself as to my entries - following TMS as letter perfect as possible
i posted my trade explore because i have never had such consistent results before with all the other systems i have tried. (and so little drawdown)
i wanted to show the power of TMS and that is DOES work
i have been a completely horrible trader but with TMS it looks like that is turning around as long as i keep disciplined.
i am now no longer staring at a screen all day and am getting my confidence back
i cannot thank traders like MrAussiefx, Emm, Lookleft, davit and others enough for their very educational posts that are helping me grow as a trader.
thank you, thank you, thank you
