Finally got here, to this site !

Steve, thanks for starting this FORUM site.

Bob I'm getting ready to re-read your instructions. I have started live trading, I think I got the "hang" of the system I've made outstanding trades and hope to make more.

I'm really stuck with my latest Empty4 update to build 4.19
Ea's buy and sell are still working but I can't get any MPTM ea running.

maybe I'm using the wrong manager?

Or is there a possibility to reload an lower build version that works with Oanda??

merci in advance.

Hans..
Hans, Oanda Empty4 is not EA-friendly, you need to use another broker.

Try new mtpm, and look for default mtpm setting is "not" manage all trade
so you must tweak the setting first

Hi
I am surprised so few understand why 4H charts are different between GMT(0) & GMT(+3) brokers.
Forex is not continuous - it stops at 1700 EST(US) and restarts 48hrs later. Only GMT(+3) brokers can enable accurate 4H charts as GMT(0) splits a 4Hour period over the weekend.
This is only a problem on systems which depend on 4H charts.
GMT(+3) brokers stop when Forex finishes a week and start 4H periods when Forex starts for the week hence the weekly pivots are more accurate.
I wrote about this in FF but it seems to have been missed by most.

Yes I saw you post on ff a good statement for candle lovers.
For me a candle is just some market noise in time frame, I don't wanna see wigs or bodies morningstars or dead end street formations.
The fact that a different 4H candle start time give a different chart does not effect my trading with NN 10.2
My chart looks like this,

G'day! I'm successfully trading the D1 on both Vantage and Axitrader AUS (GMT +3) :D

Post subject:  WeeklyOpen(Close) Histogram differences
Thanks Hansnl
My comments were not in regard to candles, but the big difference in 10.2 WeeklyOpen(Close) Histograms. I have read so many entries here and in FF trying to understand why the 10.2 Histogram images do not match between GMT & GMT+3. To me it seems fairly obvious, the 4H cycles change at a different hour.

It's more than just a time difference. My histogram is inverted and doesn't reset every week. :?

Hi Steve

Can you help me with the NB EA please. I'm trying to make sure I've got the settings right for each pair.

Can you point me in the right direction to see some settings that perhaps might be "somewhere" :?

I'm currently trading Bob's system from his FF thread and doing quite well although I'm in 3 trades ATM and down $1600... :lol: .... only demo. But this is early days.

Would like to see the EA in action.

Cheers squire
