Tdesk is going to become the the most valuable resource created for us retail forex traders. It is taking SHF to whole new levels.
Read about it and download it from http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 22#p163522
This is astonishing stuff folks. Don't miss it.
Should you read this post: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 11#p163611, here is the thread that Thomas refers to: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 18#p163218 Putting Leon and Thomas in the same room offers up mind-blowing possibilities,

There is an update to Holy Graily Candle Bob. Please read Update 9th September 2018 in post 1.
--------
The update to HGCB was inspired by Ehrenmat sending a version that incorporates Andrew's support and resistance indi available from http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 796#p11796 I completely missed the importance of Andrew's indi when he first published it back in 2012. 6 years and a whole Forex lifetime on, and I see its relevance immediately.
Thanks to Andrew for coding it. Thanks to Mat for bringing it back to life.

I encourage all of you running SPB, PoS or the varieties of Awsome available to to take part in the coordinated test database. It is quick and easy to set up, the the uploader EA takes care of the heavy lifting. Details at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 81#p160081

Newcomers might not yet be aware how close we are to finalising EA's able to run without supervision. These will be ideal for inexperienced starters. There are three that we are running on live trading accounts. They are:
- Slopey Peaky Bob at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 59#p159559. This is the bot I am trading on three live cash accounts.
- Peaky on Steroids at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 72#p154372. Use Gertje's set file from post 1, and take careful note when he posts. He has done a lot of work developing a trading methodology substantially different to my original concept.
- Awesome + SS at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 31#p161331

VPS. I am running Eaymon's VPS. Absolutely fantastic. I cannot recommend it highly enough. At the time of writing, I am running 8 demo platforms and it has not missed a beat. Physical memory used = 47%. I have yet to catch CPU usage going over 40% and it is usually in the low teens, so plenty of juice left: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 103&t=5282

Official SHF broker
No point in learning to trade like a master trader if your broker is bollocks, so I have decided to make more of a fuss about Global Prime for the benefit of all who can trade through them but have not yet elected to do so. GP is SHF's 'Official broker'. Not just the 'Official' broker (cos we all know what a multitude of crimes this can cover) but my broker.
I am happy that GP continues to offer the transparent and honest service they advertise – it is the ONLY broker I trade with. Before you start trading you need to read this thread: “Why you should sign up with Global Prime” at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =52&t=1475 You can chat to the team at GP on the LiveChat on their website. I remember every time I send a trade, what a breath of fresh air it is to know that I am trading with a genuine broker, not a 'market maker' or 'bucket shop'.
We have a fabulous example of the collaboration between SHF and Global Prime. Jeremy has set up a trading room for members to discuss trade setups etc in real time. Details at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... f=6&t=5128. A number of our leading members are signed up. Here is a quick link to the sign up page: https://forexhangout.slack.com/shared_i ...

EA's that members are trading live and profitably
These are the ones I know about. Contact me if yours should be in this exclusive group and I have missed it out. It will never be a large section.
Before you use them there are a few points you MUST understand, grasp and learn to live by:
1) There is an unbreakable, unshakable and unavoidable rule of retail forex trading and it is this: if it can happen and it is bad for you, then it will happen, and probably sooner rather than later.
2) You will have losing days.
3) You will have losing weeks.
4) You will have losing months.
5) The only thing that matters is that the equity curve rises over a longer period of time than most of you possess the ability to concentrate for.
6) You need balls of steel to trade Forex. 2), 3) and 4) will sort you out rapidly if you are a wimp.
7) Never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose. You will be desperate to succeed and fear will cloud your judgement. Guess how I know? Guess why I am so relaxed about trading these days. Only a cretin trades with the pension pot or remortgages the house in order to do so.

Bob's (nanningbob) Holy Grail Indicator
People are making a bomb out of the Holy Grail Indicator. Bob has come up with a concept that tells use when to trade and exit, and when not to trade. Elixe and milanese have coded this into an indicator, coding which is breathtaking in its scope and execution. Visit Bob's Holy Grail Indicator thread at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 44#p105044 right now. Immediately, Go. Now.
HGI has revolutionised trading. All we have to do is react to its signals. Visit the relevant chart when you hear an alert and do what HGI tells you to do. An infant could trade with this indi.
Renexxxx has a great-looking Matrix at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 62#p105462
So guys, not only do we have Bob's amazing HGI but we have fabulous tools to help us use them (including some automation – see below). Try them out and see what works for you.

Reported broker scams
Some brokers are even more criminal than the worst we have come across. Read about them at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... m.php?f=72

Absolute no-no's
These will build/have built up over the course of time.
- at some stage, every newbie trader will become excited by Martingale. To avoid a bollocking from me, read http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... f=16&t=550 before you post about it. Even the most dimwittedly ardent exponent of this lunacy eventually stopped posting – he lost all his cash.
- Anyone trading with TheCollectiveFX needs to read Dewey's post at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =72&t=3651 Anyone considering opening a live account needs to think again, for the time being at least.
