I'm proud to say I've figured it out myself

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve mk 2

I'm looking for a little help with an amendment I'd like to make on this EA. I'm just learning to code but for some reason my amendment doesnt appear to be working. Basically I want an Alert each time a trade is signalled (or simply a sound fired ...

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve mk 2

OK, understood. No offence taken (well not now anyway !) Its a serious question though. I know some highly intelligent people who have created some great theoretic models but who are themselves incapable of making practical use of them. I was merely ...

Read my post again Cindy. Its not in any way related to your somewhat trite comment.

Order Flow - Finding cluster of stops on chart

DS, its great to be able to communicate with someone else who has an IQ bigger than the size of his dick and I'm sure your million years of experience stands you in good stead, however, are you in profit trading FX ? Or are you a theoretician ? ...

Order Flow - Finding cluster of stops on chart

Thanks for the suggestions but we must be thinking of different definitions of the term 'order flow'.

Order Flow - Finding cluster of stops on chart

What surprise me is that no one provides a service which collates all the data from the major brokerages into one data stream. Order flow analysis would surely be much easier with that sort of data. Or does anyone know of such a service ?

Order Flow - Finding cluster of stops on chart

Much of this goes to show that in many cases spread betting is a viable alternative as, in the UK at least, profits from betting are not taxable. Although you may get poorer prices (though not at Tradefair most of the time), you wont have any tax ...

Sorry if this has been asked before but how on earth can you get VSA to work with the fx markets when you dont get to see the full volume picture ? I've been a fan of VSA since I met Tom Williams quite a few years ago but I simply don't geddit when ...

Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

Spreads only exist if you want to trade at market right now. If you know the price you want to play at just put that into the market using a DOM interface. Too many people simply accept the price they're quoted rather than putting a limit order in. ...

Sharpe Ratio Calculation

OK. I've found a script that does what I need and also does MAE/MFE at the same time.

Sharpe Ratio Calculation

MC, you're missing the point. I WASN'T referring to these EAs at all, just meaningless statements like 'cut your losses and let your profits run' per se. If you're qualifying them in relation to something else, then that's fine but as stand alone ...

Phantom 6 System

My comments weren't aimed at being in any way derogatory towards this system but just at the statements like 'cut your losses and let your profits run' which are totally meaningless.

Phantom 6 System

Give MB Trading try. They're an ECN and give a great service. I've been with them a couple of years and have recently opened an MT4 account with them too.

Phantom 6 System

Its also a truism and completely meaningless, with the greatest respect. Let me give you an example: 1. You cut a loser because you're down 20pips It carries on down so far it would have blown your account. Great. Pat yourself on your back as you've ...

Phantom 6 System

Of course its not tick data I really want anyway because I dont think MT4 can import tick data. My heading wasn't 'Tick Data Required' originally but one of the forum guys changed it. Anyway, I found a good way to get some proper data into MT4 by ...

Tick Data required

Spot on. Thanks I suppose I could have done a search myself....Doh...

Tick Data required

I was testing multiple pairs on JForex. The problems with backtesting on MT4 are (a) the data is crap, so you need to get it from somewhere else and (b) you cant backtest multiple pairs. If you can get your EA re-written for JForex thats a much ...
