    New strategy builder from ActForex

    FYI and a :?:. Four or 5 months ago GCI Trading introduced the new ActForex strategy builder to their ICTS-WinTrader charting platform. Building strategies that act like robots is fairly easy for anybody with a touch of programming experience. The strategy builder manual is at...

    What’s it look like to set Excel up to “crunch-the-numbers?”

    DISCLAIMER: Use the below, spreadsheet info, at your own risk. What’s it look like to set Excel up to “crunch-the-numbers?” Here is a little example using Alpari’s historical data for the EUR/USD pair, hourly periods. First-off, let me say that this is NOT any kind of automatic trading...

    Stochastic with a MACD based on its figures.

    Here's something quite interesting. The idea is to apply a MACD to a Fast Stochastic. Most of the charts that I have used - the free ones - won't allow you to do this. It seems that the Netdania charts may... although I am not sure if this is what is really happening. Anyway, for an...

    Timeframe overlay indicator

    Furthermore, all indicators, MT4 or Custom, show as lines. Yet, ALL of those indicators have a high and a low during a period, just like the price does. Computers are powerful enough these days to handle just about anything you can throw into them. Why doesn't anybody have BARS or CANDLES for...

    Timeframe overlay indicator

    This is all very touching, but what does it have to do with a method for linking a custom indicator to a previous indicator, or to the first indicator, in a secondary channel - not the chart channel. But, even in a chart, if you already have indicators set up on a chart, how do you link a custom...

    How do I add into MT4 Custom Indicators...

    ... Let me add ... Let's say that I have a Stochastic channel opened. I can drag and drop a Moving Average indicator onto the Stochastic channel. When the box opens where I can set the MA parameters, there is a place that I can tell it to "Apply to" either the "Previous Indicator's Data" or...

    THE ANSWER, if you can watch it hourly...

    Oh yeah. Basically, consider anything above 80 as a "BUY" and anything below 20 as a "SELL." Of course, most of the time you will be in the buy or sell mode prior to the indicators moving above 80 or below 20. so it will be easy to stay there. The hard part will be determining which crossover...

    THE ANSWER, if you can watch it hourly...

    My own reply is... Possibly even better is MT4 Stochastic 21/1/1 with a MA of 2 on it and a MA of 3 on it. Watch for the crossover of the MAs In everything, use a BB of 13/1.7 as a limit (BB = bollinger Bands). Try it. You'll see what I mean.

    THE ANSWER, if you can watch it hourly...

    Stochastic full or slow 21/2/2 And I won't be around to answer any questions or challenges.

    Netdania to FXCM Netdania

    The Netdania company has updated their free charts. FXCM does not have the latest of these charts in their free area. Yet the FXCM data feed seems to be better than the one Netdania uses. Question: How do we use the Netdania company chart updated studies on the FXCM Netdania chart which isn't...
