The Captains Chest - Naked Trading & Other Stuff

Post by sknight1 »

I was able to catch +80 on usd/jpy and +30 on eur/jpy. I had been watching the same pairs that you spoke of since the London open. Just sat here waiting for and wondering what "news event" would give them the push that they needed to get going. :)

Oh, and I should add that the +80 and +30 were single positions only. I'm still figuring out how to stack trades and how to make the scripts work: entering several pending orders, moving stop losses with a single click and drag, or closing all open positions (or unopened pending orders) with a single click, etc. I've downloaded several scripts and tried running them on a demo account to see how they work but, thus far they either don't enter the pending orders at all, or don't enter the pending orders at the price that I dragged / dropped the script onto in the chart, don't move the SL's correctly, or don't don't close any or all positions.

The scripts I've found are from this forum but, they are 3-4 years old. Maybe the new build of Empty4 no longer works with the older scripts. I just have not stumbled upon any newer versions in the "scripts" section of this forum. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

I am also looking for a similar script. Let me know if you found one.

Will do. Thus far, I've just been reading thru the scripts thread that I found on the main page.

SK,

Apologies if this is something you already know but have you checked the "Allow automated trading" option is checked in Options->Expert Advisors

Bwa-hahaha ! Hey, hey... look at you ! No apologies necessary my friend. I never thought of checking the expert advisors tab in the Empty4 options for an "allow automated trading" tickbox ! lol :yahoo: Thank you for telling me about that. I never bothered to look for such a thing because I never thought I'd be the kind of trader who wanted to learn how to stack trades. And now that I'm learning.... yeah. So, next week, I'll tick that box and restart Empty4 so that it takes effect, and start stacking in demo when the opportunities arise. Thanks so much. :good:

I hope everyone can spare some time to read this, and use the treasure that CJ has given us wisely.

By Anonymous
I have reached the pinnacle of success in the business world.

In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success.

However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.

At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.

In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer…

Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth…

Should be something that is more important:

Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days ...

Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me.

God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth.

The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me.

What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love.

That’s the true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on.

Love can travel a thousand miles. Life has no limit. Go where you want to go. Reach the height you want to reach. It is all in your heart and in your hands.

What is the most expensive bed in the world? - "Sick bed" …

You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you.

Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – "Life".

When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading – "Book of Healthy Life".

Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.

Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends...
Treat yourself well. Cherish others and lend your helping hands to others, who may need just a chance to shine in their life.
In the midst of the world’s corruption, A heart of pure white jade.

SK, No worries, best to try it on a demo account first as sometimes these scripts don't quite react in the way you think they will.

Happy trading

Good call Ian, I will definitely be trying it on demo first. Have to get all of the operator errors worked out before going live with it. :)

I trade because I enjoy the process and the mental puzzle. I too am well aware that when I leave this life, nothing tangible will be going with me.
