Hi All, I have not been around for a while...it's good to be back.

What I have been keeping myself busy with is naked price action trading...

Now, I am achieving so so results, and have managed to NOT blow up my demo account, which is refreshing to say the least.

However, I think that it would assist me if I can look at a chart of a pair on which I have closed trades that were either losses or wins. I say this would assist me because I *should* be able to start recognising what is a profitable setup and one that is less so.

This got me to thinking of the market scope charts on trade station II, these charts show the opening and closing points of the trade, AND the net result (in pips). Which also implies that you can determine the direction of the trade taken (by means of the arrow on the chart in market scope)

At the moment, on Empty4, I can drag and drop my closed trades onto my charts but, in my mind, that only shows the opening / closing points, you cannot discern whether the trade was a win / lose or in what direction the trade was opened. And if, as in my case, we are looking for price action and specific patterns to decide whether to open a trade, and the setting of the subsequent SL & TP, having something like the ability of the market scope charts would help my learning immensely...

Do we have a script like that at all, if not, can we make one?

I look forward to hearing the opinions and suggestions, even maybe the help of those that read the post.

Cheers

Thanks very much for the EA Tommaso, it helps, but is not entirely what I had in mind...

Attached is a screen shot of my Empty4 platform.

There you will see a red arrow indicating the opening, and a blue arrow, indicating the close, with a dashed red line adjoining the two...

Now, I know because it is cherry picked, that that trade was a short, and it ended in profit. But, if I come back to the chart in a week or a month, I may not be able to remember, therefore I would not know if that trade was a winner or a loser and therefore I would not be able to analyse the candle formation that led me to take the trade...if I had a net pip figure showing either win or lose, then I would be able to do my analysis. And that is what I am after...(I tried to find a screen shot of a closed Market Scope / Trade station II trade, but was unsuccessful, sorry)

Does that make sense? I sometimes struggle to get the thoughts and reasoning in my head onto the post...

Thanks

H

Try the Squaluke indi (beg your pardon for the wrong spelling, can't recall the correct spell). Find it in he DBMx scalp thread, first page maybe.

Have made a mod of it with less clutter on the charts, will upload later when am at the main system.

Cheers & regard, Max :D
