Yep - I've seen this before too :) We need to get one of the mods to change the thread title if possible. Having ... in the title is causing problems. You can view the other pages by removing the ...'s: http://indo-investasi.com/showthread.php/2690-Scalpingis-this-a-waste-of-time-or-can-you/page2 http://indo-investasi.com/showthread.php/2690-Scalpingis-this-a-waste-of-time-or-can-you/page3 etc.

Bob! II is generally a forum of freedom of expression which is one of its strengths. Posters who suspect the integrity of other posters should be sure to always quote them in their responses (not that I suspect your integrity ;) ). This will ensure that the thread maintains a logical progression and will virtually eliminate the gap problem where posters suddenly decide to delete all their posts en-masse. As for recognising posters signing up with new names, that could also prove to be tricky. For example, because I don't have a fixed IP address, all I need to do is to reboot my router and sign up as [email protected] rather than [email protected] and I will appear to be someone else ;)

Guys, easier said than done lol. This is what most traders end up doing (this is for stocks though I'm sure we could cobble together a forex one ;) ): http://werc.homelinux.net/photos/wow/Funny_stock_chart.jpg

lol - so we have a pot head pixie running loose in the server with serious munchies and eating all the memory :)

Hi retireme, I'd not thought to look at the stats. doh! I'm sure iCan will fix this soon. Something is eating memory, though tracking these sort of problems down can be tricky.

I've had this too. Keep trying and you eventually get in. I assume that the server resources are being stretched due to the popularity of II :)

I'm not a fan of Gann, though from searching around it looks as though a downloadable pdf (Mellen Mark - How To Play The Races and Win.pdf) is available at: www.wheelsinthesky.com Looks as though you'll need to register to see what's in there, though it appears to be a free site at first glance. [edit] Oops - just checked again and it's $64 for 6 months. The only other place I could find was for sale by sacredscience and it will set you back $200 for a fancy hardback.

For anyone not familiar with drawing these sort of lines in MT4, I've written a short guide to explain how to do it: http://www.multiupload.com/HRZAV085S1 No excuse for not posting charts now ;)

fxfxfx, This thread should warrant much more interest from the stacks of newbie traders here who want to be successful, however sadly most newbies will be hot footing it to the latest shared fad EA thread as soon as they see that there may be a bit of effort involved and (horror of horrors) some manual trading (which brings with it personal responsibility ;) ). Breaks of HH/LL (aka swings) and bounces off S/R levels are both classic trading tactics which when mastered will allow anyone to make more money than they could ever need from the markets. I assume you're planning to teach these or something similar which will make for a great thread which everyone should read :) The key thing everyone should take note of is to be patient and only wait for the best setups. Trading when you "think" you know what will happen next is just gambling - ensure that you have as much lined up as possible to keep the probability of success on your side. Indicators (like EA's) will always disappoint eventually because they're based directly or on some variation of a moving average - which only tells you what price has just done and not what it's most likely to do next. The only high probability use of ONE indicator is for spotting divergences - any will do: MACD, RSI, CCI or whatever. If you like to trade counter-trend or are looking for reversals at points of strong S/R then divergence provides a nice extra confirmation. I'm look forward to your next posts...

I agree with you Diesel.

I agree with sticking to simple rules, otherwise things get very tricky. So called "pointless" or "over the top" etc. threads to some may contain a lot of value for others. I followed many years ago a guy who posted as "tradevector" on other forums, most thought he was crazy, though I could see lots of interesting and ground breaking techniques in what most just dismissed as crazy talk. The smallest of ideas can trigger any of us to greater things at any time. scwon has the right idea - just treat visiting the forum as selecting a TV channel for example. If you want to see the cricket and end up tuning in to a romantic movie by mistake, do you carry on watching and then complain afterwards ? lol.

Eureka! The problem was mine all along 8-) I'm using IE and had set my browsing history settings to never check for newer versions of stored pages. I'd changed this setting and others based on some recommendations for improving performance, though it didn't make much difference and I'd forgotten about it. I've set this back to check for newer versions every time I check the web page and it works fine now.

Hi guys, Just recently I've experienced strange problems in viewing threads where not all posts are being shown. It's as though the database index is corrupt when threads are viewed through certain routes though not through others. I've compiled a bunch of screenshots to illustrate the problem: http://www.multiupload.com/UUBKSOT48Y Any ideas what could be causing this? Is anyone else having the same problem ? I've tried clearing my browser cache and logging out and back in again and can't fix it from my side.

Hi Moritzm, Yep - I had loads of these recently, though it seems to have improved over the past couple of days. Normally re-attempting to access the page a few times worked, apart from some times at weekends where the server is probably brought down for maintenance. I logged a couple of the errors in case they got too bad: Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 15990784) (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/indoinv/public_html/includes/class_core.php(4425) : eval()'d code on line 62 Service Temporarily Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

keifer, Great info! Thanks for the time you've put into creating this doc.

Hi, I've noticed recently that there seems to be some software runnning against posts and trying to identify swear words, insults etc. and replacing them with ****'s Please can you remove a_s_s from this list because many words contain this word which is only a very mild insult at the very most. For example: a_s_s_ume a_s_s_orted cl_a_s_s etc.

4051fx, Why "thread close" ? These are spectacular results, I would be interested to hear how these guys are trading, do they give any insights into their strategies ?

Guys, Here's my experience with connection problems. I had loads of problems connecting to II shortly after the forum was upgraded. Interestingly, II was the only website I could no longer connect to. I came to the conclusion that changing browsers didn't make much difference. IE8 works fine with II and I'm using it now. All proxy servers I found to be too slow and a lot display ads. which are annoying. Some of them could connect to II and some still couldn't. I tried all sorts of tricks to connect (deleting caches, updating stuff etc.) and I believe that the problem was down to the dynamic IP addresses allocated by my ISP. After looking at several tracert logs, I could see that my connection with IP addresses from a certain range were being dropped at a server in the US shortly before reaching the II server. Rebooting my router allocated a different IP address, though because it was from a similar range of numbers my connection was still getting bounced. As it happens, my ISP at that time was in the process of moving accounts to a parent company. That move meant that my dynamically allocated ISP range would be different, and lo and behold as soon as the move took place, my connection to II was again flawless. It seems that some servers along the route to a website are more sensitive to IP ranges than others and these ranges can get labelled as undesirable if in the past one or two of the IP addresses from the range have been used by spammers.

Floored (2010) This is a documentary about the old style pit traders in Chicago and the mind-shift needed for them to come to terms with the electronic age which makes interesting viewing. Not easy to watch at times because this shows the reality of professional trading, warts and all. Most of the episodes are available on-line here: http://vodpod.com/watch/3754630-floored-the-movie-episode-1

spycat, From your earlier posts I believe that you're an IB for Dukascopy which is a conflict of interests isn't it ? ;) I have had a live account with FxPro for some time and I'm very happy with the service they've provided. I also have accounts with other brokers and I agree with earlier posters that FxPro spreads are very good in comparison to others. Some brokers are better than others depending on your trading style. I've been mainly day trading with FxPro with around 5 max. trades per day and I avoid news. Other folks who want to run EA's scalping the quiet periods may find that FxPro spreads are too high at that time and there may be more requotes/slippage - that I can't comment on. The best way to test out any broker is to open a small live account and if you get any problems with trade execution on tiny trades, then you can be sure that these problems will increase when you start trading for bigger stakes. This has to be a live account because all demo accounts work at the speed of light and execute every trade perfectly lol.

Re: working together... Hi Mike, This seems like a good idea and I think that a new forum here on II will be best, it could be called something like "II Robot Development". The reason for keeping the development on II is simply because we have loads of members who'll be able to contribute ideas, code etc. from day 1, whereas starting a new forum will be hard work - recruiting the right people, keeping members, filtering out spam etc. The key is to maintain focus on developing a single powerful EA. I've noticed that there are plenty of threads here already where EA's have been created to test various manual trading systems. Lots of these contain great ideas and some great code, however as soon as difficulties are encountered, enthusiam wanes and everyone moves on to the "next best thing". If we can keep focus and concentrate jointly on tackling tricky problems then we could get a nicely profitable EA out of it :)
