Yeah, I wasn’t really looking for an answer to that question
I’m a fan of MP, and you’re obviously a hater, so your opinion doesn’t register with me. This thread has ‘MP’ in the [B]title[/B], so he’s always going to be here with us (contributing or not). I’d get used to that if I were you, or get your walk on

Alright, I’ll do my best on the forum. I could probably direct you better VIA some chat service, but I’ll try here. This is all presuming you have Microsoft Paint, which comes w/ any version of Windows if I’m not mistaken… all this would be easier on Adobe Photoshop, but since I’m sure most members don’t have that as it’s more for designers… I’m gonna direct on Paint.
When you have the chart up (or whatever it is you wanna make a screen of), press PRINT-SCRN on your keyboard. You’ll see it located well above your “arrows” on your keyboard, just above of your Insert key. Doing this “copies” EVERYTHING you currently see on your monitor.
Open Microsoft Paint and PASTE. (You can do it from the drop down menu: Edit > Paste OR you can just press Ctrl + V). Now you should see your screen.
If you don’t want your WHOLE screen and just a portion of it, you’ll have to do some selecting. The easiest way is to use the rectangular marquee. On the left hand panel of tools in Paint you’ll see it as a square with a “dashed” outline. Click on that… then go back to your drawing board with your “screen”, start at one point… and click and drag to another to “capture” every part you want for your new image. Once you have it all selected COPY the selection by pressing Ctrl + C OR Edit > Copy.
Start a new file. File > New or Ctrl + N.
Paste again. Now you should have a new image of everything you selected from your last screen.
From there you can edit it as you wish. I recommend you save it at this point so you can revert back if necessary. Typing in paint is pretty annoying though, so you might wanna save all that for the forum. But you can highlight/circle things with the pencil tool and stuff.
Oh, and if you need to resize the image, I know forums can get fussy about like that. Press Ctrl + W (or go to Image > Resize/Skew), and change the resizing percentages. Make sure they correlate though or you could end up with some funky looking image. You can always undo though.
Save it, upload to some photo hosting service and IMG tag it here.
Well, thats one way to do it… there may be an easier one, I don’t know… maybe these younger fellows can school an old schooler like me on that lol. Hope it helps, if you have any questions just let me know. I’ll be awaiting the edu-ma-kashun!
Correct. I wrote the indicator not really intending to distribute it, so it doesn’t have some of the nicer configuration options like adjustment for broker time. But…the code is out there now, so if anyone feels like modifying, please do.
Nice one aVi and thank you !!
What’s the best photo hosting service to use ?
I’m not familiar with all of them, but Photobucket is probably your best bet. I presume most people use that one:
Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket
Either I’m really tired and/or lacking intellegence today, or I was meant to ask this:
What “sort” of signal would that be ?
Sorry again guys to be AWOL, but being self employed is sometimes quite hectic. Hopefully we can get to some more meat this weekend. Thanks everyone for sharing. Now I’m going back to at least read my own thread.
[I]It’s a question of whether we’re going to go forward into the future, or past to the back.[/I]
I love photbucket and use it for other reasons…but i find for quickly posting charts etc here on bp i use TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting which i find much faster.
The proof is in the pudding! Good job doggie…
Thanks Shane…I have done the above but was too lazy to put it in my initial write up so thanks. Much easier than menuing over.
I obviously haven’t figured out how to use this…I need to obviously by looking at my preceding posts…
I try and play with it…
Thanks for the inspiration.
I’m still not sure how to upload from Photobucket. So I followed aVi’s instructions, compressed the image, and attached it to this post myself
See the attachment below for my last 25 trades - 3 breakevens, 22 winners, and 0 losses. Ignore the lot size and profit columns, they mean nothing in regards to the results. A winning trade is a winning trade, and that’s it. This is a demo account that I’ve been testing MP Methods, and all I have been concentrating on is seeing where price is going and gaining pips from it
(I already have a Money Management system ready to launch with my ‘live’ trading)
You can calculate how many pips were gained from the opening and closing prices. You should all know where these are located, but for those who don’t - opening ‘Price’ is between ‘Symbol’ and ‘S/L’ in the middle of the screen, and the closing ‘Price’ is between ‘Time’ and ‘Swap’ to the right. Either add or subject one against the other and it will give you the pips gained. Remember, the 5th digit after the decimal point is a point-pip, for example: 1.5 pips
So I calculate a total pip gain of: 202.5 in the last 3-4 days (if I added correctly)
5 of the trades went against me for about 6 hours, and with a 150+ pips drawdown. That was due to trading too near the Shi-Top without a clear understanding of potential break-throughs
By the way, my account is in NZD, so that will explain any confusion about the ‘Profit’ amounts
I hope all this makes sense
ha ha ha… thescarletpippernel is him too! It’s obvious. You can tell by the writing style.
If you have any questions about this guy, just go to the elite trader forum. I won’t post a link, so as not to be banned, but it’s obvious:
wwwwwwww.elitetrader.coooooom just search mp6140
the biggest thread is titled something like “lost half a years salary”. It’s over a hundred pages long. A big waste of time, but that will give you some idea what this guy is all about. Better to invest a little time educating yourself about the shady garbage that’s out there than to be the one taken by it.
4x[B]fool[/B] - Non of us in here have questions about “this guy”
Did you stray from the 95% herd ? We’re real money makers in here …
Please don�t contact me privately again with messages from your banned leader.
We don�t have the slightest inclination to engage in dialogue with an individual who attracts controversy & trouble like a magnet everywhere he treads.
Michael Parker (mp6140) might well cast us as the villains in his little drama, but he brought about his demise all by himself, as he has done on other trading forums.
You�d have thought that given his advanced years & supposed experience, he�d have learnt from his previous mistakes on those sites, but no he isn�t smart enough to avoid the pitfalls & traps that he quite unbelievably engineers for himself time & time again.
His behavior & attitude on here (even apparently, after several warnings) has placed him exactly where he deserves to be - on the outside looking in.
It appears he�s now registered yet another unwelcome nick ([B]the scarletpippernel[/B]) :rolleyes:
How long do you fella�s suppose it�ll be before the moderators/admin get so fed up with these immature & blatantly defiant antics, that they decide to delete his original thread (& maybe this one too), erasing all mention of him completely??
You think they haven�t considered that as a viable option to end this embarrassing circus?
He�s turning this site into a laughing stock.
And on that note, I�ll leave you to discuss whatever it is you wish to discuss.
Come on guys, we’re just here to learn and share. I don’t care if people hate on MP. That’s their decision. All of us in this thread are here for genuine reasons. If certain people think MP is floating around under different names, then deal with it in a managed fashion. Don’t get the rest of us involved. Don’t delete threads where us un-banned members learn and share. Jocelyn, we who believe in MP Methods will always be here. No need to reply, you’ve said your piece, now move on like the rest us want to. Yes ? (and that’s not a question that requires an answer)
Back on subject: Man, the Cable pushed up really hard for a whole hour from about 0650 GMT onwards. I checked for any news release on either the GBP and/or the USD, but nothing. Does anyone know why this happened ?
I took a short when after it bounced off the Shi-Bottom (0645 approx) about 20 minutes later at 0705, thinking it had touched the LRC-Top and would be a good short scalp. The Stochs and CCI were looking okay, and Barry’s was at the same level. The A/D and DSS were not setup the same as the 3 previous indicators mentioned. Then, before my eyes, the bulls charged hard and fast, for a whole hour. Now I’m waiting for the price to reverse and return to hit my TP’s
It was a case of trading near the outer Shi-Channel lines again
I’m not setting any SL’s. I’ll let price run because I think it will return to my TP’s
I’ll wake up in the morning and let you know
If you get the picture to Photobucket it is real easy to post it here. All you do is click on the IMG Code (which automatically copies it) and then paste it into the post where ever you wish. BP does the rest!
Agreed
Well due to my other business I haven’t even opened up my charts since Wednesday. So I personally have no insight into the cable, which trust me is good for you guys. Hopefully next week I will have plenty of time to trade and consequently mislead people with my faulty analysis. 
Hi ho hi ho its off to work I go! Take care peeps!
This thread has mp’s name in it. As such, the only business anyone who already dislikes mp has in here, is to cause problems. If you already know you have a problem with mp, DO NOT CLICK ON THIS THREAD. It’s so easy! Your time is better spent elsewhere.
This thread was started by a group of people to share methods and grow in forex trading. It was not started to discuss mp and his past, or to be shut down by flaming and fight picking. Spend the time you would have spent dissing on mp learning something new about currency trading. There’s always something new to learn and you will be the better for it.
Sandpipper and friends, sorry I rarely post, I can’t keep up!
I am not sure where Sandpiper is in his trading, but I know we were both looking to use the MA crossover system with the lessons of the past. I really like this so far, even though I have not done a lot of trading with it so far. I, at the advise of MP, am back in demoing and will play with this method some more.
One good example of what I am trying to do was today on the H1 UJ. There was an EMA crossover at the 7am EST candle. I did not see this until 9am. At this point I took a look at my MP based charts and decided I like the way everything looked based on the H1, H4 and Daily. For TP I liked the Daily R1 Pivot. I did see some Resistance in the way, but decide based on some of the indicators that the R1 was the probably target. Of course, after making the trade trade it turned around on me for a bit, but around 1230GMT the price came around and hit the R1.
-----Not that my opinion is important, but here is my opinion on the happenings in this thread----------
I am sad to see that this thread is going in the wrong direction. I looked forward to the start of this thread, after the other thread was closed. Unfortunately, and i I hate to say it, but in my opinion it was PipMouse that threw the first stone in this thread with the calling out of the wind, rain, fire etc. Actually I do not feel that he did this purposefully, instead I think it was a light hearted comment that others took offense to. But, I think everyone is on the offensive these days.
Seems like there is some type of us versus them mentality. I have to state that I am not part of us or them even though I have thrown a stone or two. At the end of the day, I trade for one perons only and that is me. I think that [B]MP is a great trader, a good mentor and has insight into the markets that I cannot even grasp yet[/B]. At the same time [B]I have to find a balance for what is right for me[/B]. I will use his teaching in combination with candlesticks, crossovers, or even tarot cards if it works. And yes, maybe I am late to grab some pips and only catch 50% of the move, but I am ok with that. Even MP has told me on multiple occasions to try out different methods until I strike a balance for what works (Those may have not been his words, but that is how I understood them). I think we should all keep this in mind and understand the only competition is “me versus the market” 'cause at the end of the day, in this negative sum game, people only make money when someone else loses (Except of course the brokers).
Good point husky_1. I certainly don’t try to mimic mp’s style, but after reading his entire thread I started to trade much better. The LRC was very helpful in helping me trade as was paying more attention to when price reverses. I have been consistently profitable on demo for the past two weeks (after blowing a relatively small account) and I’m feeling much more confident about my trading.
There are still huge differences in how I trade and how mp trades, and I like it that way. For one, I will probably always use a stop loss, be it mental or otherwise. I would rather get out of a losing position and then get back in when it goes my direction then ride it. It’s funny, people tend to think that mp influences new traders to not use the SL, but for me, he was the one who convinced me that I needed it by constantly reiterating that you should only go without it if you absolutely know what you’re doing. I don’t pretend to know that price will return as I don’t think I have enough market experience yet. However, I have learned not to place my SL arbitrarily, and to put it somewhere that is not likely to be hit.
Anyway, the point is, I’ve learned a lot from a lot of different traders on these forums. And the only way I’ve managed to become profitable in any sense, is to take all this knowledge and explore all kinds of different options until I find something that fits ME.
