SG, Looks like it's time to re-install my MT4 platform. Checked the UAC & found nothing in it that could cause the problem. Went back and tried to install the code again, and studied the error problem closer.
Found "cannot access the specified path, or file".
Well, this MT4 has been on this computer thru 2 format hard drive cleanups and tons of downloads. Has lots of unnecessary junk in the navigator that should be cleaned out. Should be able to dump & re-install without much trouble. So looks like that's my weekend project.
Kinda strange that it will let me get some codes to the meta editor, But not others. And acting wierd when I try to get code from the meta editor into the navigator so it can be used!!
Thanks SG. Do you mean user account settings from FXDD or user account settings at Forex Factory?
If that's a possibility, then I would suspect fxdd as most probable..
SG, I have been playing with MT4 and am having difficulty with even getting new programs to load. Tried your way of getting programs from the meta editor into the navigator in the terminal. Can not seem to get anything to work with any programs. Used to do it regularly, but now %^&*(%()...
I am still running windows xp and MT4 Version4 build #509 (found in the help file). Updated in May of 2013 by fxdd.
What operating system are you running, and what build (version) is your MT4 platform?
I am not even certian if my computer is 64 bit, or 32 bit. And would that make any difference with being able to run some of the newer codes? I'm not much of a computer expert. So gonna contact a friend of mine that is a programer and does service work on servers and home computers for his business.
Thank in advance. This is really p*&^%) me off. Checking out for the night, so will look for a reply in the morning.
I don't know SG. Just tried signing up with FF for the thread and that did not help. Same problem.
I used FF for downloading in the past. But not much in the last year. Downloaded a few about a year ago, and about 5 years ago I did it all of the time.
I downloaded the TRUE MACD a couple of days ago, and got it just fine, but probably from a different site. And I just downloaded the dynamic breakout system from the same thread that you gave me, and they are now showing the code in my meta editor. So it's not a problem with the thread. Seems to be with the indy's.
For now, I have to go out for a while, Then need to do some food. Will play with it later tonight and see if I can figure out what the problem is.
OK Jav. will give it a try.
SG. Tried the last link for the supdem and get the same thing with it. And the zip file that I downloaded from one of Alfonsos posts already has the supdem in it. But they both tell me access denied. In fact, every site that I try loading this from tells me the same thing.
If I can get the code, then I can copy & paste it into my metaeditor, I think.
That's the thread. I tried downloading from post 15 and just get the following.
Access denied may not have appropriate authorization.
Also have a zip file on my desk top with the iny in it, but when I try to open it, I get the same message.
OK SG. I tried the link that you gave in your post # 122480 (or close to that #) but could not get it to work. Someone else mentiond that as well. I think maybe Jav.
Do you have a link that will work? Or site?
The breakout system came from Alfonso's thread at Forex Factory. Apparently not the right one.
sg & pennies. Is this the name of the system that you guys have been raving about.
I decided to get it, So I can play with it this weekend. Looks like intense homework tho.

SDC, thanks for your vote of confidence. But be carefull, my stuff is looking a little better for a drop, but if I where going to enter, I would give it some more time for confirmations.
Pennies, I do not know if this means anything at all for you. But take a look at the chart below. Your sup/dem top at .8315 has a correlation with the blue line & note & gold arrow. I don't know anything about this sup/dem thing, so thought that I would pass it on to you. 2H chart. Also check out the moving avg tangle going on right now. Would be ideal if the 2 fast avgs. drop below the gold avg line. Setting on the fence right now.
It's still the top of the second inning. Banksters may decide to play ping pong for a while, but sooner or later one of them will miss and the ball falls to the floor. Then hopefully down the steps to the basement..
Gotta be carefull or I will burn all my posts. Need to save a few for later.
I don't think so pennies, But I must say the magicians are hard at work with their smoke & mirrors. I hate f*^% banksters. Well, I for one am proude to know that I have so much power over the markets. Can seem to make them run away from my trades so often. Need to start plotting a chart of this occurrence. But we should be looking better now since we have a positive jobs #.
10:00 Housing # comes out. If good, we should be home free me thinks.
OK, we have red numbers for the Brit. # Missed the current account bal. by a moderate amount, Q>Q on target, But bisiness investmentway down.
G/U dropping.. Now we need good U.S. Employment numbers for more fuel.
Now I go back to bed. Set the alarm & got up for 20 min. to watch this one.
Pennies, NU could go WAY down. Like .79 or even lower. But for a scalp .82 is good first level from what I can see. But .815 is not out of the question either.
Shure not going to try the long side of it. My daily is set up for a big fall over the next several days.
No pennies, it's not crazy, unless both of us went over art the same time. I been looking at it and doing some additional indicator work and think it is a solid trade. Wanted to pull the trigger about 10 min. ago, but did not quite have the nerve untill you just posted SELL N/U.
Looks rock solid to me on several charts!!
Just took a look at tomorrows Brit. account bal. & gdp (G/U)
1. Current account Bal. est looks like a pretty lofty target. Going to be a tough one to meet or beat. In other words, I'm going with RED.
2. Q>Q GDP- Also a lofty target. And a mistake somewhere, because the previous is listed at .7 and the chart shows .3 They are expecting .7 and looking at the chart in general, they better have had a FAR better quarter than just average. Average will not make .7
Stargate, that makes sense. Here is my 2H chart just for interest. The 2 moving averages have kicked out "F" for failure to complete 2 times in a row now. That is unusual. Will the 3rd time be the charm?
And if you will notice the 2 red arrows on the chart. One is placed on the current bar, and the other one is placed 72 bars back. That coincides with the TAC_ADX at the bottom of the chart. Now, you will see 2 white circles on the chart. When the red arrow reaches the white circle bars, The TAC_ADX will drop like a rock, thus indicating the completion of it's trend when it drops below a reading of 22.1. It will then need to cycle down to a much lower level and then kick out it's next buy signal.
That's the way it has worked for quite some time now. Hopeing it works this time as well.
Also, the channel on the monthly chart should offer pretty serious resistance up around 1.610 area. WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE IT HOLD.
Brit. GDP COMES OUT AT 4:30 AM EST
The first white dot goes off at 3:00 AM EST, just brfore GDP, and the second big up bar will drop from the readings at 12:00 PM Gonna be interesting to say the least.
Stargate, Yes, I been kicking myself for entering 2 lines of trades that close together for the past week. LOL Not to mention entering where I did to begin with.
SG. Took a lead from that monthly chart you posted. Pulled up my chart and got an idea to shoot a couple of channel lines on it going back to 2009. Channels look like we MAY be in a topping area here & now. My stuff is showing IFFY regarding continuation of the trend. My TAC-ADX has topped out at a high level, and is now receding on my 12H chart.
Thanks for posting it.
P.S.- Gave up on that doubled up MACD indicator. Just could not make it fit my style.
Thanks SG
Pennies, thanks for the info. on the Big Numbers. Copyed & pasted into my notes. Will study it this weekend. And also want to set up this supply/demand system you guys are working with. But no time right now.
Qui, here is my daily setup. The check marks that you see are a couple of my keys to entering trades. The check mark on the top right on the gold line is first key. When the gold lines set up for a cross it's a good sign of a reversal. You can see that one of the gold lines dipped hard a couple of days ago. That's why I started skalping the GU short (and with the direction of my stuck trades).
It turned back up today. So now if I scalp it, it will be long entrys, Untill it turns back down.
Other check mark. Lower right corner odf the screen, is Green TDI. It has turned down, but is actually my secondary (confirmation) indicator.
I do not use weekly charts, except occassionally glance at them.
My 12 hour TOS trending chart was and still is indicating toppyness in the market. And was all bearish untill yesterday afternoon. No use in posting it, because it is now mildely bullish again.
Bottom line, I will stay with this trade thru 1.63 if necessary. And will scalp along the way to help offset losses. But I have the strength in my account to do this.
NOTE-For the life of me, I can not figure out what possesed me to enter this trade. In hind sight, I see no reason to have ever entered it, except maybe as a scalp that got out of control on me. I'ts turning out to be the 2nd worse for me this year. Had one other that was worse and made a profit on it. Hope to do the same with this one.
Covered NU. Got 17 pips out of it. 25 bar avg rolled over to down slightly, and fast avg crossed. No sense in risking it further.
That pretty much matches what SG just told Qui. Have soe notes put on my chart. Not willing to throw in the towel on GU tho. Just trying to spalp to help offset the under water position.
Thanks pennies. I likely will not hold to much longer, but it's helping offset the run up in gu for me. My 2H GU chart flipped to the up side again last night, and is also now hurting my daily GU TA.
Pennies, I took an NU long late last night based in part on your rec. I'm still in it & greedy. Got a strong run going now.
Well, the good old U.S. Bureau of labor Stats. did it again. BIG rose colored miss for the durable goods #, but the market already had it factored in.
That makes the count (just for durable goods) 9 misses to 4 good estimates for the last 13 months. Let's see, that = 69.23% of the time it has been over estimated. If, when I was still wotking, my job performance was that bad, I would have been looking for a new job pronto.
Obama, Bureau of labor statistics chief really needs to go.
Bought an NU at .82413 fast 2 line crossover getting hit. Could have bought the GU, but it's been stingy today. Missed a nice short 10 pips on tho a little while ago. Got distracted.
That would drive me nuts. Not to mention the eye fatigue. 3M is about as fast as I can see anymore.
I can blame it on SG. he prodded me into looking at the short time frames again.
Pennies, I just pulled up the NU on a 3M chart with TOS. Looks like it could roll to the upside to me. May take one.
Set up a crossover system using the 3M and seems to be working ok. Had to study it a little to get the timing down tho. Fun to play with.
Pennies, you been doing anything with the GU today? My daily looks like roll over time coming, but still maybe 1-3 bars away. And my 2H chart has turned to stronger sell.
Been skalping the short side today for a few pips. But nothing very profitable.
Maybe (this weekend) I will take a look at this new system you and SG are talking about. Mostly just been reading posts today.
You may be right, and I am holding a few. But today,s price action certianly was not all retailers buying in first 20 minutes of the market open. And then massive selling by retail. It is obvious dumping by the lender/lenders. I see this as dilution into the PR.
Looks like we may hold a little gain for the day tho.
Dollar strength looking much better. The nay sayers are scattering & retreating.
Qui, we have every right to be afraid of this fed/govt situation. The fed has a situation that is out of control, mostly due to congress/senate/pres. actions, and inactions going back many years.
What you said is spot on.
I put most of my money into real estate in 2009. Sold a place at breakeven and upgraded. Got lucky with getting out at breakeven. So at the moment I'm ok. I pulled about 70% of my money from the markets near the end of 2009 and opted for the super depressed real estate.
I am 66 years old, so can no longer afford to have so much cash in the markets.
I now have about 10K in the stock market. And 35% of that is in cash right now. I am very heavy in the pennies and spread thin for diversification because the pennies are more somewhat isolated from the dow, s&p big board issues. Another crash should be easier on the pennies than the big boards.
I will trade you tickers when you are ready. Just let me know. I never refuse to look at stuff, particularly micro caps.
Closed long GU for a small profit. Still short GU. Could run a little higher, but not worth the risk to me.
Big picture a little iffy, but some cracks in the upward trend are showing up.
Thanks boca.
Git, forget the article, I read it. Trust what is known, and the facts are that the fed is stuck with 85B a month cash infusion. Bernanke's board decided that they need to see 6.5% unemployment rate before they can even consider tapering. It will happen, because lots of people are running out of unemployment benefits and will drop off the count. But the economy is really loosing jobs each month on top of this. So my belief is that an excuse will be found to continue even if 6.5% is hit.
Just my opinion tho, and Yellen is going to be a wild card. So just take it day by day.
The long run is that these cash infusions are just paper dollars, and will/are slowly eroding the value of the dollar against all currencys. But it is suttle, because the U.S. banks are provided enough dollars to turn the currency tide at will.
Pennies, I set up a new 3 min skalping system on my TOS charts today. It just went strong buy about 1 min. ago. Don't know how reliable it is yet. But it's another confirmation.
Pennies, I see the possibility of a test of the 2013 high at about 1.6304 GU, but that is my outside chance high. I really do not think that it will hit it. I will likely dump my long line of trades when profitable (soon to come). Then set back and watch for the short to develop more completely.
Right now, I see signs of a roll over to short over the next couple of days.
Ha, we seem to be on the same page again pennies.
