Dudest, how many pairs do you monitor? All from GP? Thanks in advance!
Also, I'm thinking of buying the Forex Tester to learn faster, do any of you use it?

Hey diogou

All from GP (with the exception of the exotics)

Actually, I don't 'monitor' them, just pass through them, marking S/Rs here and there.
Over a bit of time, it starts to look like familiar faces, and patterns start to stand out

Have never used Forex Tester, but have only heard good things about it

Cheers :)

I'm short Silver at the moment :good: Then I'll be long in (hopefully not too long). Then short again hopefully for longer.... I'm working what I think is a variant of the stop hunt pattern. Lemme get a screenshot...

I haven't used Windows for many years, but maybe I can try using Virtualbox to test this out. Anyway.. back to topic!
do a search for something like "CL_EC_01_ManualTradingBackTester 130829.ex4"
its an EA that binds hotkeys so you can run the history tester in visual mode in Empty4 and use hotkeys to buy/sell/close and it keeps up with your positions.

note: have to allow dll imports in tools>options>expert advisors tab

in wine in unix the slider for speed is invisible but with some fiddling you can find it and then can use arrow keys to change it.

also fxblue formally MT4i is suppose to be free but I have not tested it on wine or windows

could probably write something like them with a user32.dll hook

for Empty4's strat tester it may still need a speedy cpu tho

it works it is just invisible but even when you set it to max speed the strat tester may be to slow running in wine. i will have to check out jforex for when i'm not on d0ze.
