First click FILE, then SAVE AS PICTURE, then ACTIVE CHART.

When posting, click UPLOAD ATTACHMENT, then CHOOSE FILE, then find
your saved file from where you have saved it to in the first place.

See, my CSS looks different to yours, even though they are the same version. therefore I can only assume that the pairs that are in use for the CSS are different, I have not changed mine, have you changed yours?

eg. your USD sits at .20, mine has been at .12 all day.
Your GBP sits at .52 and mine at .41
Your EUR sits at .18, mine sits at .38

Okay, they are all above the 0, which means the general direction is the same, but the strength of the move differs, and that lets me wonder about the angle of the CSS lines as well...

EG. your CHF and NZD are about to cross, and mine are on different sides of the 0 line...

So, does it have to do with the number of bars in the history?

Again, I have not changed any of the settings as I do not remember any instructions to do so...

Is everyone elses info page the same as fx8000's?

Any help is appreciated, thanks

The info page will be different for different criminals.

The info page shown in my post comes from Cowboy IBFX us. Just register with Cowboy IBFX.com (minus the cowboy!) and download a demo Empty4 there. Then your info page will look like mine and Bob's.

A couple of comments regarding your CSS page. The 10.6 info page is set up as Bob sent it for the 24 pairs he trades. If you are trading some different pairs that will alter the values slightly. Also changing the magnification will change the view as well. I have experimented with changing the threshold value but I believe it works best on H4 charts as supplied. Saving the chart as FX8000 suggested and uploading it as instructed is the method I use to post charts as well. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for all the help guys, much appreciated.

attached is my CSS Info page as it stands.

What I will do next, is to change the symbols in the market watch to what is shown in the values for the indicator to see if that makes any difference...

On your D1 info page, you can see the even though JPY is the weakest currency, it is ANGLING UP.

So, you match it with a currency that is angling down e.g. Euro, CHF, and sell EURJPY and CHFJPY, etc

I know it is not the typical 10.4 trade but a counter trend trade. Setting pending order 5 to 10 pips below the DP is a valid sell trade if CSS agrees. I tend to halve my usual lot size for CT trades.

The info page will be different for different brokers. Even your present one works if you look at it carefully. But if you want one that looks similar to Bob's, then you have to use Cowboy IBFX us Empty4.

Right click on the chart, then scroll down to 'Save as Picture', save the pic somewhere you can find it then attach it here. After attaching, click 'Place inline'. You will soon get the hang of it.

:D
Read the effing manual, ok?

Afterprime is the official SHF broker. Read about them at https://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=175790#p175790.

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

I suspect the Euro crosses are in a strong DT.

You may need to use 10.6 H1 charts to catch the retrace.

If you take a look at the daily charts you can see that the Euro has established a high and low for the last 4-6 weeks. Price may range between these two points as yesterday's/today's moves brought the euro back to the bottom of the holiday range. Watch for a break out in either direction or it may range. I drew the breakout lines on the daily charts for each pair for you to see.

The euro banks used the low volatility period of the holidays to cook the books some. In other words they ran up the price of the euro the last two days of the year to make its end of year and end of quarter books look good. It made its assets look better than they would have been if they hadnt run up the price. Not a major problem unless you didnt know what was going on. It is why I rode the euro and gbp back down for some nice pips this week. Now we may see ranging for the month or ...................

The 240 line will tell us what will happen next. Some pairs it has been broken but just a little. Will it bounce back up into range territory or bounce back down into a nice DT. At some point early (could be month or two or three) this year I am expecting euro pairs to take a dive. It will take a fundamental news announcement to do it. But for now this was a correction of the end of year bank moves. I enjoyed it though. Didnt catch the wave up but did catch the wave down.
