TOD? IG charts open/close at 12am uk time for daily candles for 24hr markets. LSE instruments are 8am to 4.30 (IG). i think.

hi again...ngdesign, no idea. a new problem, ig index advanced charts do not work on any browser. they were a few weeks ago. i asked them, they sent a clear java cache guide, but when i try to follow it, my java crashes. i then made a clone of my mac on external, updated osx (as my version...

hi again say if you find supp/res levels on a daily chart, and then you go into an hourly chart, should you find supp/res local to the hourly, or use the same levels found on the daily? Ive found that diff TF's show diff sup/res, as well as some levels which are showing on both TF's.

Hi say if im backtesting a FX pair, and theres x amount of trades using such and such signals. they are all at diff times of day, as its 24hour market. so say even if i find a 80% success rate with back data, in order to forward test it properly and use the system, its not really possible as...

i think it make sense, especially when doing daily bars analysis. (to change indices to reflect the trading session of that country) and you can see the gap up/down, if its 24 hour charts, its like 24 hour price movement, futures and normal session blended into one... if youre actively watching...

thankyou another query: IG index advanced charts, im trying to change the time zones and trading hours, i hear i should set FTSE to the actual hours of 8 to 4.30, rather than have the chart show 24 hours 7 days a week data. But i cant seem to do it in IG. I go to options time zones and wehn i...

jefftheripper, thanks... no there was no 3rd trendline, the other people say its not a fault, this is how software shows it...i kinda understood at the time, but got tired of this situation and have taken a break from it. Ive deleted the trendlines. Someone also said to NOT use the same...

exactly! well said.

right boys and girls, lets organise/arrange a meetup....birmingham.

id rather play with it myslef and judge for myself if it works or not, rather than take someones word for it. yeah it shows you what you should do and the kind of decisions/rules you need to consider for a system/strategy. I dont think it was overly curve fit though, as he does speak about...

thankyou so if im looking at 20 day breakout, im looking at a time frame of 21 candles, right? if im going to back test this, is there trading testing software to do this? or i have to do this manually? seems fidgity if im going to do it manually, eg keep moving a 20 day section rather than...

thankyou for helping. question: if a trendline is touching hourly candles at two points in time over a few days or day.......itshould be touching the daily candle on the daily Answer: the answer is no .... ? correct? so kind of time distortion happens.... the candles re-adjust accordingly...

thankyou. i understand your paragraph 2. so this is how you draw trendlines on diff time frames? eg if using daily and hourly? as compared to drawing trend line on one time frame and then using that pre drawn trendline on another time frame........ my second post on this thread. the hourly...

heres another example....that is confusing me. hourly candle chart, drew two trendlines, like a channel........ then look at the same trendlines on the daily.....they are crossing...... why are they crossing? they are not crossing on the hourly

hi, this has been bugging me over weekend. look at daily trendline going up from white candle....right, the 3rd but last candle is 17th june........ its clearly BELOW the trendline as are both candles before and after it. now look at hourly chart. all the candles are ABOVE the same...
