Very low size (50Mb- 8 hours) free desktop recording software

This is the free 'Express' version. Though there are a standard and pro version, the express version is enough for most of the things.

After a free registration on site, you can activate the software and use it to record many hours of screens without any watermark or whatsoever limitation.

Even after recording for 8 hours, when you click stop you save your file without any delay or waiting. It saves to .fbr file, which is very small. To achive even smaller size I reduce mt4 window to smaller size. It records to lossless quality, so very good for charts. Before recording you can set the framerate as well (lower than the default 24/sec). Export fbr file to swf or flv (recommended) or any other avi (if you have encoder codec) file.

Re: Developing S/R Expert : Highly Profitable : 99 % Accuracy

Here is a free SR inidcator, which dynamically counts SR levels from close values of the bars. I've also looked for this indicator for a long time, this seems good, but needs testing how accurate are these. I think it is a good idea to mix it with fibos.

Re: EAs that could make 10%/month every month

This means that you have to strengthen you discipline part.

Also good forum topic about proven successful trading systems:

Re: EAs that could make 10%/month every month

I already tried maaany manual systems , and I'm yet to find a good one , that suits all my bipolar trading style...I guess everyone is in search for the holy grail , meaning that the holy grail for everybody does not exists , there are some techniques that fits better one and other.I'm 19 yr old , and forex have come to my knowledge when I was 14...

I dont think you will find an EA which will work without optimization (and I am not just talking about optimizing the variables that you can set in an EA, but changing the thinking algorythm of the EA) These needs a lot of backtesting, and a very good knowledge of your EA's algorythm and the ability to change the code if needed plus knowing more or less if the market is changing and is not compatible with your system anymore. Don't expect a set'n'forget software that you put on an account and you just withdraw the money at the end of each month, it just doesnt work like that.

Try the system that worked for others and ask yourself why it does not work for you? If you say your trading style is bipolar (I have heared this term before but it was a medical one :) ) maybe that should be changed a bit. At the end of the day look back on your chart, mark your trades. Make conclusions what was good and what was mistake.

If you fail manually try to ask people in the forums of that system what they are doing, make screenshots of your charts (everybody loves screenshots!) and upload to that topic. I am sure there are many people here to help you if you have specific question.

Anyway I finish my word about manual trading as it is off-topic here and mods will kick me :D.

Re: EAs that could make 10%/month every month

that is called "THE" Holy Grail.

There are hundreds of thousands of people on search for it. If sy finds the solution keeps himself probably (and not selling for 99$ on the web). But probably there is not one system or way of thinking that is good for all market conditions. Market changes all the time. I recommend you to start looking at charts (I mean to collect the inevitably needed screen time), with better manual systems or methods (use search function) and try to demotrade.

Be prepared, long way ahead.

Re: Fusion v1.1a

Ok....The Fusion 1.1 from Birt seems to work. So far it made 3 trades, all winners....

 

But the LMD currency and hirider doesn't seem to make any trades. I have not tried the other 8 EAs.

 

Any idea why the LMD and the hirider couldn't work?

LMD trades at midnight OD.

Re: Forex Robot World Cup

if anybody interested i put the hirider trades on mt4 charts. Unfortunatelly I didnt have fxcm mt4 data, I used Alpari uk. There is also loss of data around 24/12 but still you can have a good idea about the trading style.

I did a screenrecording about the trades:

Please share if sy has this material.

S ongokus' testimonial on another forum:

If trading success got me a hot surfing babe then I'd say it was a worthwhile career move! She'd need to have a good personality as well though...

 

As I understand it less than 1% of applicants get accepted to be trained and backed by the elite prop houses such as Futex. Trading is a difficult business, not just in learning to understand the markets, but in the amount of effort and perseverance required to succeed. You need to be able to take a beating and still jump out of bed and rush in to prep for the open the next day with the enthusiasm of a spring bunny. Would you back anyone by funding their training, education, compliance certification, data feeds, news wires, trading platform costs, margin requirements, access to economic research, coaching and trading losses in the early days unless you were absolutely convinced of their suitability in terms of learning aptitude, innate intelligence, numerical ability, economic understanding, psychological profile, determination and desire?

 

I do this for a living and I say 'NO'!

 

Remember these are not small sums of money we're talking about here. If there are doubts over your suitability on any of these scores it's likely you won't make the cut as there are no shortage of applicants for such privileged positions. It's an overstated truism that any time you sit down to trade you can, quite literally, make silly amounts of money. If you've got the balls, and you've paid your dues, and you know what you're doing. The only way to get there is with a serious amount of screen time and with some expert guidance from those who've already been through it. To think otherwise is a misconception.

 

Training costs from reputable companies can be on the steep side, but deservedly so - they have something of real value to offer. You may think you'd be better off going for a bargain option, doing your own research and sticking the remainder in a trading account. The most likely outcome of this, however, is that you get trained inadequately, lose your cash and are back at square one none the wiser for the experience. There are many, many offerings on the trader training front these days, but quality varies wildly. An obvious rule of thumb when selecting a training provider is their track record of success (yes, testimonials can be convincing from recent course graduates, but have they actually made money from the markets yet?). I would say that training given by an established proprietary trading house is naturally going to be a cut above the rest. Think of all the big traders that came through Refco such as Lawrie Inman. Since we're talking about Futex, think about Bradley Young who featured in Trader Monthly's 'Top Traders Under 30' section. We're talking BIG money here. To have the opportunity to be taught in the same environment and go through the same training process is absolute gold dust.

 

If you believe you can make it as a trader you need to be honest with yourself, and it's also diffcult to judge the realities unless you have some experience of trading and/or the markets. If you do have an interest in the markets, I would recommend having a dabble to familiarise yourself with how they operate but, unless you're willing to invest in your own education, you might as well just hand your money straight to all the properly trained traders out there and forego the commissions. Or, smarter yet, just stick it in a tracker fund. When it comes to trading, false economy is exactly that. I've seen plenty of traders make it, but I've also seen a greater majority fail. Even if you do, wisely in my opinion, pursue a training opportunity with a prop house; you must listen to the trainers - they know what they're talking about; you don't. Any opportunity that allows you to mingle with actual traders doing this for a living is invaluable - unless you know what other market participants are thinking and how they're likely to react you're doomed from the start.

 

It might not seem it but I think this advice to be quite positive!

 

Nuff said.

Re: (Req) FX Boom

look at january testimonials:

1. all mt4 screenshot was made with one MT4, as all the charts windows are the same one (anyway they are 5M and 1H timeframes) and in same order.

so we could say that the seller asked the investor password and logged in to their account to get the history.

2. but what we also notice from history, that all the 4 accounts was balanced at the same time (within 10 minutes).

so i think they are all the seller accounts, probably demo.

Re: (Req) FX Boom

I didn't find any single printscreen showing what their system looks like...

I think among the testimonials there are some screenshots on marketiva chart.

http://www.fxboom.com/testimonial.sept2009.html

http://www.fxboom.com/praise2.jpg

2 MA + MACD.

Probably it cant be much more, as it should work on other platform as well, not just mt4.

If you check the october testimonial:

http://www.fxboom.com/testimonial.oct2009.html

it is very interesting:

1. They claim that there is stoploss. No stoploss at all in that statement.

2. there is a good RR ratio (of course with TP and SL)

The first trade on GJ on 01/10/09 with 1004.74 profit. We dont know which timezone the server is, but looking at the screenshot of the day, it is likely that the trade was made from one purple box to the other. In between there is a DD higher, than the TP.

I didnt check the other trades, so I may be wrong.

Re: [REQ] EA for modifying SL to previous swing low/high

I coded (taking the code from mq4 codebase link shared by Starting) and shared the EA in the next forum:

http://www.indo-investasi.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7784

Thanks for the helps and ideas about programming this EA.

My aim was to write an EA which puts stoploss to previous fractal as it forms naturally support and resistance and if it breaks there can be a possiblity for reversal or retracement.

Actually I took partially the code from the link given by Starting.

http://codebase.mql4.com/ru/1101

You can set the variables:

tmfrm -- which timeframe should be used to look for Fractals (1,5,15...)

frktl_brs -- 3 is minumum (e.g.: 2 higher low than a lower low in the middle)

pipfromfractal -- stoploss distance from fractal (e.g.: 2 or 20(5 digit broker for 2 pips below or above the fractal))

TrailWhileLoss --trailing while in loss

Please try it on demo first, as I have tried it just on 2 trades on M1, it worked for me.

Re: (Req) Liliput EAs

A message from another place:

Hello Kiril,

I've purchased a copy of your software EURUSD Day-Trader Core EA.

I think that is a dummy software and all parameters inserted are useful only for hard coding the ea for the back testing period.

The ea doesn't gain money after the back testing period.

I want a refund of price paid.

If you don't agree to refund I'll post my comments on your page of the ATC 2008 on mql4 website : Profile Liliput - Automated Trading Championship 2008.

Also, if you don't agree, I will send the zipfile to all forex forum in the world in order all people can see what ea are you selling.

I havent seen the videos, but as far as I know all the COT data is available (though not digested) here:

Look for "Chicago Mercantile Exchange", you will see in the file all major currency details.

Re: Harvester 3 EA

ordersend error because SL and TP values are 4 digit ones, so the 12 pip SL is counted 1.2 on a 5 digit broker.

-changed data to these in the beginning of the code.

-these are changed so it can be set in expert variable settings

-some naming added in the code

Anyway from beginning of december it is looser, it seems that this 12 pip stoploss is too tight for GU nowadays.

Please backtest with different settings, and DO write it here. Kudos welcome.

http://www.4shared.com/file/210057153/8632f009/harvest.html

Generally the smaller SL than TP is a very good idea, that shouldnt be changed, to have the good RR ratio.

Re: Pr0fit-Bef0re-W0rk $ystem

IGIndex is i think the biggest spread betting company in the UK. If you are UK resident your profit is tax free while you spread bet. That is the advantage for UK users, but anybody can open spread betting account, and FTSE 100 can be traded on many other platform as well.

I believe this system is to be used only for FTSE trading in England. This is not for forex trading. U.S. residents cannot use this system. Is this correct?

 

Thank you.

Re: (Ask) How to change logic state of this code

It is hard to say anything without seeng the full code, but if you want to close the trades when lsmaga and lsmag are also 0, you can write sg similar:

if(lsmaga==EMPTY_VALUE && lsmag==EMPTY_VALUE)

{

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,10,Red);

return(0);

}

or if you dont want the to open trade you write sg like this in front ordersend:

if(lsmaga!=EMPTY_VALUE && lsmag!=EMPTY_VALUE)

{

OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,lot,Bid,5,Bid+Stop_Loss*Point,Bid-Take_Profit*Point,NULL,0,0,Lime);

return(0);

}
