I use 3 mt4 platforms heheheh forex ltm, oanda (bonds), and ibfx for trades. >P
Don´t really mind. It´s still faster than trying to set up barcharts.com =)
forex ltm and oanda are unlimited demos. >P
Hi Green As Grass,
You can load a chart for USDX on your FXCM Trading Station as shown below by using this free custom indicator.
Jason
Fiber didn’t turn bullish on the 4h til it broke 1.3380
At 1.3385, I was feeling pretty good about a short for tomorrow. Had to stop watching charts for a few hours and am not so psyched now.
Richard
You are correct in that the Int’ Swing High break is the trigger for the break in MS and that the break I indicated was a break in MF. Those together with the break in MF are what I look for, especially when just under the Int Swing High, with progressive higher swing lows. I suppose I am preempting the break of the Int’ Swing High. Also have a look at the daily - it was evident (at least suspected) that a swing low was formed on Friday. Sorry to confuse - I was thinking ahead - should have explained more, although not that easy. Besides - still a work in development.
Something to note on the Daily, which I stated on Friday. The OTE Short is 13438 to 13475. A Swing up into that area LOKZ looks good for a short. I suspect that it will be the weeks high.
PS I’ve added a TP to your Order Scripts - easy - works well.
Question - also interested in adding a one hour expiry.
The examples I found by seaching have not worked - any suggestions?
Richard
This code does not work for expiration - any suggestions?
datetime expir = TimeCurrent()+(PERIOD_M5*60)*12;
ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,Lot_Size,NormalizeDouble(Price,Digits), 2, Price-SL,Price+TP1, “”,0,expir, Green);
Hi Rod, its wery simple the way Time works in MT4, is just how many seconds has passed since January 1. 1970.
So what you can do is
datetime expir = TimeCurrent() + 3600
where 3600 is how many seconds you want on top of the current time 
I just changed my code like this, and it works
ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYLIMIT, Lot_Size,NormalizeDouble(Price,Digits),2, Price-SL,0, "",0,TimeCurrent() + 3600, Green);
Thanks, its a good idea 
Yes, I tried something similar, as well as your example
The script runs although the expiry does not change.
Hi guys, how are y doing this morning?
Im hunting a short opertunity on cable, because I think USDX will turn around after taking out the stops on the previus lows(also a bullish OTE), and it is in a bullish market structure(4h,daily).
Also, since EVERYBODY are long(80% on myfxbook, looks like a lot on oanda too) I’ll be shorting
GLGT!
Morning all
Watching the 1.3450/60 area this a.m for a short on H4. OTE, a bit of consolidation looking left and DR1 pivot. Point to consider in taking this trade is yesterdays strong ZEW print. My plan would be to take it and maybe look to take profit at -20 and move to B/E. Just my thoughts guys.
Waiting for 13454 Fiber Short LOKZ
OTE daily etc
I’m looking at key level 80.20 for USDX also
USDX UP would mean Bearish Foreign currencies,
EURGBP seems to have hit resistance @ 0.8700, hopefully it will stay steady, I we could see a reversal back to 0.848
Keeping an eye on SMT Div. for downward pressure as well
Richard, so the people on myfxbook do you use them as a small specs indicator?
yeah, for the first time ever today
But everything I know tells me to be opposit the majority on FXBook
Jeez, I felt like I was reading my own thoughts here! I had all the very same reasons to be looking for the very same thing. Everyone is against the trend too… nice, I feel like that increases the odds as well
I keep having to edit this due to new thoughts lol, but there is also a convergence with yesterday’s Asian range low for this short opportunity if it unfolds. Be sure to look for SMT divergence as well.
EDIT: I use OANDA open positions and the myfxbook community outlook… it is a GREAT tool for helping you locate where possible stops may be resting. Especially if they both agree with each other.
Yeah I got Oanda, fxcm had Alpari to start with, got sick of it expiring & wiping out my data lol!
Barcharts wasn’t even updating data from what I could tell… O don’t really like FXCM’s mt4 data candles, they just seem weird & blocky compared to Oanda, I can see yet another mt4 turning up on my pc :19:
I was also going to take this trade… I wonder if it will set up LO or wait till New York.
Thanks Jason, I’ll have a look into it. Do you have something for the EURX as well? would save multiple mt4 platforms…
I get the blocky candles with Forex LTD which I use for USDX and then IBFX for everything else. My OANDA MT4 wasnt connecting to the servers O_o so I have to use barchart.com for bonds.
I think I am going to call it a night. My Cable short idea did not pan out and I was thinking about a Fiber long scalp to take out recent highs (and buy stops) and put us into the daily OTE, but that seems too risky so I will wait and see if anything unfolds tomorrow. It sucks being on the markets time!
Yeah, the LO train ran away from me, its going to be interesting to see what NYO has to offer
