Pay attention people.

I was wondering why my FB demo was doing so badly compared to others so I went back to basics and started analysing manually, starting by putting the H4 240 MA on a chart - actually 960 on my H1 TF.

So, all I need to do is I select Insert > Indicators > Trend > Moving Average?

Except with Alpari UK Empty4 Build 711, doing this brings up the Money Flow Index indi. Buggered if I know what they've done, but something is clearly broken with that platform, so watch out anybody using it

I will back that up. It looks as though the latest 'upgrade' is an unmitigated disaster. I started a new platform to do some testing on a new bot, and the platform randomly unloads EA's. That is a bit of a classic even by CrapperQuotes lamentable standards. Do everything you possibly can to avoid live trading on this catastrophe. I seriously suggest you stop live trading and whinge at your broker if the only platform available to you is the latest build.

I am currently stuck in a basket that is c. -500 pips into the hole. It will be interesting to see what happens from here.

A glance at the H4 charts lends perspective, as I just remarked to Tommaso in a pm. Those pairs that have shown blistering screams upwards, and vertiginous hurtles downwards on the M15 (and all in the wrong direction) are merely at the top/bottom of a range on the H4.

Or course, if all those pairs are about to break our of their range, then I am in trouble.

We shall see.

Just a further warning...the new build keeps shutting down the platform as well. Multiple times this week I have noticed one or more of my platforms have closed.
This is only occuring with the new build, which includes my Cowboy Go Markets live account, GP live has not been updated had no trouble with that, but GP demo's that have updated are also randomly shutting down.

I had a similar scenario after the Scottish referendum...it took a couple of days but FB recovered and closed without interference (on 1 hour chart).

I think your take on this is correct, I think it is a breath in the market after the massive movements on Monday & Tuesday.

My demo platforms close all on their own. The log say Compressor: invalid decompressor block
Two demo's running on a kick ass machine do this. Build 711.

Live platforms (GP) Build 670 and 711 running on a slow PC with Windows XP both seem fine.... famous last words right before something blows up! F'n bloody hell, this is game is hard enough without this bullshit.

I'm not fully immersed in this EA yet, but by looking at the demo's on MyFxBook it looks great. I just wonder what it will do in a flat market, or at a V bottom. I see all kinds of different settings be used, at this point, I'm most interested in the BE and stop settings. That will no doubt be the saving grace at a turning point, whatever TF you run.

So while those shitheads

try to debug the platform, I'll study up on FB and get ready to roll it out!!
Thanks SH!

Ok its off-topic: BUT I never understood, why the hell it is necassary to have all the time these fucking platform updates ? Is this crap after every new "upgrade" much more stinking then bevor so they have to look for a new crapper ?

I thought I was missing something I was doing when my latest platforms suddenly went home to bed. Seems it wasn't simply an alcohol induced hallucination.

You, me and everyone else on the fx-trading planet except for The Monkeys who mis-code this stuff.

I am seriously beginning to think that it is deliberate done to bugger everyone up. Bots are becoming more popular and starting to win. The big boys cannot allow the small boys to win at their own game. Although not a perfect analogy, can you imagine a casino that would allow a punter to constantly win. By changing the rules periodically it's like the bank spinning a 00 on the roulette wheel.
