Hey Josch,

the problem is : what is trader's homework ?

Most of the time people say that and it means many different things to many different people (Or even nothing to newbies)

One get those items to check, over time.

I wish there could be a good reference, where people could vote for the importance of checking a specific state.

My 2 cents.

drakoh,

not wanting to be arrogant, but there are numerous sites to teach this - for example babypips.com and others. Not looking at a checklist, I first remember -technical- trend, priceaction, support/resistance, pivots, money-management, risk/reward and -fundemental- eco-news/reports, especially 'red' news, centralbanker's 'talk' to the markets. Carolyn Boroden (fibonacci-queen) mentioned a plan to trade as STEM (signal, trigger, execute, manage). These threads here at SHF more address traders than 'bloody' newbies.

Indicators and EAs invitate fx trading beginners to look & hear only to them, but if it would be so easy, there wouldn't be a very large number of losers.

Good luck!
josch

josch,

I understand.
There are so many things to learn, and so many resources, sometimes diverging.
Finding good/steady combination is challenging.

I can understand more seasoned trader frustration about such 'simple' question.

Thank you for your time.

Cheers.

1. Timeleft is wrong for my broker, could you add gmt offset parameter?

2. I use non-lib version (lib ver. doesn't work) - there is no auto-update for the signals. Not a big deal since I use matrix only on the high timeframes.

Mr Iceberg,

I do get a tad annoyed by these blunt, negative remarks about a piece of software that has been running and working for just over a year now. You obviously have not given this one second of thought and believe it is much easier to insult the author of this code than it is to use your own brain -- assuming you have one.

Obviously, the time left does not need GMT offset. If the time left value is eg. 00:58:43 on H4, it means that in 58 minutes and 43 seconds, we will get a new H4 candle. It doesn't mean that the time is currently 1 minute and 17 seconds before one o'clock in some timezone.

First of, if you would have been bothered to read up on this, and downloaded the correct hgi_lib.ex4 file, the lib version would have worked. Secondly, and this has been documented countless times, the HGI-indicator has been designed to not repaint, i.e. signals for bars 1 and higher are not updated by design, unless the HGI-indicator is reloaded.

I don't know what to do with people like you, but piss off and do something else, as there really is no hope for you in forex.

The user is now in a group where he will not longer be able to write bs, he is only able to read ..
Again for all here a warning read the informations avaible in the thread before posting some questions, that have been answered more than one time and please have the appropriate respect for great pieces of coding like the HGI-Matrix!

Cheers

Tommaso

Hi,
please I am begging that the 'maxbarlookback' be separated for different timeframes as this will give an added advantage of limiting the number of bars per timeframe that you want hgimatrix to look back. The number of bars to look back for H1 timeframe can be 24 whereas the number of bars to look back for M15 can be 50, then that of H4 can be 18.
Thanks for this great indicator.

This change request has now been added to the code.

It is now possible to define the TimeFrames as a comma-separated string of tuples, like <timeframe>:<maxLookback>. So, eg. if you set TimeFrames to "240:10,60:30,15:100", the max bar lookback for H4 is 10, H1 is 30 and for M15 is 100. This is still backwards compatible with the previous format, as if you set TimeFrames to "240,60,15", each timeframe will have the default setting of MaxBarLookback.

Updates 33 and 33L are in Post 1

Hi Guys,

Wondering if someone can help me out?

I've made alerts true and notifications true. But for some reason, I don't the signal sent to my phone?

Any ideas?

Thanks
