another >81 — Another >81 fib range. But the 3 extreme bars have all been too long for the SL. Started as bar (A) to (C). As each new extreme bar plotted, shortened the (A) end of the fib thru to (B) while maintaining the >81 range. Didnt ...

Mismanaged trade goes to TP — Had a pending trade set, then moved it to the next bar (D). Triggered on the bar after that & went to TP +10. I was a little slow & by the rules, I should have shifted the trade to top of that triggering bar, but ...

Way I see it — Sounds like having your current ea takes its pic & alters a Global variable, maybe with a time stamp. On each of the 2 higher TF charts, you run a different ea which is only checking the Global variable at the close of their ...

Take pics from different TF at same time...

Missed this 1, bugga, off in town — Its now 12 bars after your little red extreme bar for your pending trade. Should be hit & TP'd if set for 10. If not closed, I would be tempted to put a BE on this 1 or a trailing stop. Expecting it to drop ...

pending placed on 1st bar of the week — Placed my pending buystop after the first bar of the week. Only cause it fitted with the rules. Wouldn't normally trade straight off. Top of extending bar +2 for gap +2.2 for spread = 1.30734 not hit yet ...

Buy-stops go above extended bar — Sorry whatfx, but I think you are missing the main error. " Long trades are meant to be placed with a gap ABOVE the extended M30 bar, not below it." Buy-stops are placed above the extended bar, not below the ...

wrong end of bar for long trade — Hi whatfx, your M30 chart shows the wrong end of the bar for the long trade. Long trades are meant to be placed with a gap ABOVE the extended M30 bar, not below it. This means you only get triggered if the ...

I had a closer look — Didn't go "past trend extreme" bar. ie price didn't go higher than top of extended bar. My ibfx shows 4 pips short then continued down to tp. cheers scalpz

Nice quick retrace up (off support) — Missed that retrace down, but was around for the next retrace up after the next >81 leg down. Nice quick retrace up (off support) +10pips. I have to work on using trailing stop for these, this trade could ...

Change tack, go for making a function instead of using iCustom — Try using the Data window (Ctrl D) to show what the indicator is counting each value as. From memory, values on screen count from 1. Values in Data window & hence iCustom count ...

quote panguFX so if SL is 10-15 pips above/below the trend extreme bar, and the bar was 13, +2 for spread, +10 = SL of 25. I just want you to be sure your setting SL correctly for future trades. Ah got you. Yes I'm guilty of trying to cut it ...

ibfx crims matched the bars at the bottom — Did that. Could of had 20 pips, still would have been hit. Once price moved away from my TP area, I knew it was over and was tempted to just shut it. Z bar. the ibfx crim gave the Z & C bars as the ...

Its the built-in one - doesn't send. I just edited its properties from a right click on the fib line. Then under Fibo levels, add the %$ to the end of the description for 3 of the lines, the 38.2, 0.0 & 100. I also deleted some lines I didnt want ...

chart (ibfx) to match post — Had >81 alerts set off low & later added 1 off the high of bar A. When it went off, could see the M30 bar was far too large for the SL, so waited. Saw fib length was 107.3 pips so shifted top of fib to start of H4 ...

ibfx crim — Pending trade placed above the 10:00 gmt M30 bar, +2 +2.2 for spread. Triggered on the 10:30 bar, TP set at +10. TP missed a few times. Maybe I shouldnt have included the 2.2 spread. Eventually went back to a shortened -19pip SL on ...
