people like mr redlion are simply lost. they want to imagine themselves to be an elite bank trader kneading the market movements to their will. they are banking the losses into an imaginary loss fund which someday they will need to withdraw all of ...

Real Fx traders do not use stoploss

yeah google "mt4 ticket partial close" and you will find it mentioned a few times that the ticket number changes. how frustrating. it's probably going to be easiest to just dump all ticket numbers into an array and once you do the half-close check ...

ticket number not working

i don't know why i keep having to say this... but stick your code in the CODE TAGS so we can at least read it :/ without seeing the rest of the script it's all just guessing. did you declare iTicket OUTSIDE of the start function so that it is ...

ticket number not working

yup. just don't say that in the most popular thread on the planet where all of the muppets go to worship. you'll make them cry.... in a world where most lose does it really take such mental capacity to see why a thread that permits or encourages no ...

Real Fx traders do not use stoploss

pip_seeker : cool. thx for the reply. i don't have anything at this time to say in return at this time. busy playing with a new toy i wrote this morning for mt4. maybe when i re-read tomorrow and after another sleep. in the meantime i guess people ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

i think you are giving too much credit to the names given. my take is they are purely for description so that we can all see in our mind what the general movements are. to me an impulse is simply a bar that is clearly larger than the x bars before ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

i'm not in the mood to play around with someone elses code for what should be a simple implementation. i hate other peoples scripting because it's usually ugly and wrong. the answer is simple and i have given it to you. if something is being done on ...

What best indicator to entry signal and TREND?

keep in mind that datetime lastbartime; must be declared at the start of the indicator, and NOT inside the "start()" function! ///////// ///blah blah ///copyright blah blah industries 1875 ////// datetime lastbartime; init() { //blah } deinit() { ...

What best indicator to entry signal and TREND?

this is where the difference between us is and the confusion on our language. i take at face value that you have an edge and can define it in some way that makes sense. i understand the ins and outs of risk/reward and win/loss values. my unknowns ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

datetime lastbartime; if (Time[0] != lastbartime) { lastbartime = Time[0]; //do stuff }

What best indicator to entry signal and TREND?

codemeister you got me. my answer was wrong. i had a massive brain fart. OP : if you do 2 things it will help you to get this sorted. 1. copy and paste the code inside CODE tags so we can then copy the code exactly. you may not realize this but the ...

iCustom returning Empty_val

jettrader, you will have to come to terms with the fact that most of us, even when reading something with the intent of really reading it properly, still miss subtle parts. for the most-part you will likely find that most of us just skim posts. it's ...

Lagging Indicators -vs- Leading Indicators

i'd just like to say that i find newyear and jettraders back and forth much more entertaining, educational, and worthwhile, than the pathetic posts of people like redlion.

The Random Entry

perhaps your box, and suspiciously my box, are partially due to the tools on hand that are being used? i'm aware of some mt4 backtesting limitations that i have yet to overcome which might be creating very large blind spots for me and my ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

firstly, you need to use the [code ] tags :S secondly, from briefly looking through you aren't returning any value except zero. change the start functions return value to that of which you want to read with icustom and see how you go from there.

iCustom returning Empty_val

i must be more tired than i realize. i actually haven't noticed any bickering at all in this thread.

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

i have a feeling you are expecting an answer like : 2^3 16/2 23 - 15 and so on...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

i do. it's on my mind too much sometimes *twitch*. that seems awfully conflicting. trading without reason but making profits is basing profits on the unknown, isn't it? doesn't one need to know where there profits come from to ensure that they ...

Thinking Outside the Box!?!

count me as the same, minus the alcohol aspect. i'm just spinning text while watching tv. don't have the drive at this time to actually stick my face into a chart and haven't for a few days. just can't do it.
