    I just lost a thousand dollars after downloading and using Earn's close all orders script

    No, you're making assumptions You're not a professional trader are you. Those aren't edge, just tools that anyone can have access to.

    I just lost a thousand dollars after downloading and using Earn's close all orders script

    As a captive, NFA and Finra licensed trader at the publicly traded company we were using Bloomberg terminal. MT4 was still used. Never was the two you mentioned used. It depended on the desk and ultimately compliance.

    I just lost a thousand dollars after downloading and using Earn's close all orders script

    That's not how things work in spot forex. It was a five lot trade and things aren't cut and dry. I'm a professional trader, by that I mean the ability to make over 1mm a year, and I do everything discretionary. I didn't expect something to be coded to just start executing trades as soon as...

    I just lost a thousand dollars after downloading and using Earn's close all orders script

    I was expecting a button to execute the command. I didn't realize if I dragged it into the chart it would execute. I was holding a loss that was close to recovering and I wanted to prepare for a close in profit etc. I dragged thinking it would activate as an expert or indicator... and it...

    How Important to Have a Broker?

    I came here because of Diane. Seriously, don't use brokers. I can guarantee the broker lost the acct. I can guarantee she's not trading spot the way she approached it. You guys need to realize what you are up against.

    Win 7 to 10 How did Mt4 handle it Any data loss or things of that nature Anything to look out for

    I ultimately reverted back to 7- it gives you the option only for ten days. I was pretty disappointed and was having wifi connection problems for some reason after the second or third update. Without going into too much detail, 10 needs a lot of work. You can easily tell that msft went all out...

    How much pip stop loss is good?

    Contrary to the belief, if there is one, the distance will vary every time - that's the challenge. If the mkt can get to the stop, naturally it will. A lot of experience with the pair or any vehicle for that matter is the real advice you should take.

    Win 7 to 10 How did Mt4 handle it Any data loss or things of that nature Anything to look out for

    Thanks for the replies, it took a while but was pretty ease. I do have to say that I'm pretty disappointed with 10. Right from the beginning it shows the privacy settings I already knew I was in trouble. There are so many things wrong with it. It did lose all my MT4 passwords.

    Win 7 to 10 How did Mt4 handle it Any data loss or things of that nature Anything to look out for

    Hello, well it's coming to that time and I dreading the changeover to 10.....don't like it but what am I to do. Anyways, I've been particularly concerned with mt4 settings and such. Particularly all my line plottings. Will I lose them in the transfer or will they stay? Anything else get...

    I have the same issue and it seems to be universal with this type of indicator. I figured out what is going on. They all work on the same premis that involves time or more precisely date in our case. So nothing is wrong with the indicator nor your mtx. I'm pretty sure now that it was the date...

    Hello, I wouldn't even know how to share the source code. I'm not a coder unfortunately.

    I'm back with another problem with the PointZero market profile plugin. Today's news release on the Eur/usd scrambled it. I literally saw it scramble the screen when the spike shot up and the MP plugin disappeared. I swear they can do things like this through MT4 almost like it's deliberate...

    I am assuming you mean on your MP indicator as the other seem closed to that. I not sure if I can understandably do so. Maybe after a day or two of fiddling.

    Don't know how much you watch any of the MP indicators progress from 0:00 - Aussie session to US session. You'll notice that the upper and/or value lines will expand or contract perpendicularly as well as horizontally to whatever the price movement goes. For my original question I was referring...

    Tried the point-x fix all the way to 20 and it didn't seem to change. I used U/J pair. The colorscheme does work but I lose the heat mapping of course which defeats the purpose of a non TPO mktprofiler. Question, what solves the conundrum of the shifting Value Area during the progressing...

    I would have to say that it isn't coded correctly. I have an almost identical plugin and it doesn't have this issue. Hmmm

    Looked on the internet and didn't find anything definitive. Hopefully there is a way to.
