Guest FloridaTrader Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 hi florida trader, which system are you using for trade 4hr ? if you don't mind please recommend some 4hr systems. thanks I'm using a combination of several bits of pieces of system indicators (not full systems) such as xsupertrend, bullseye, moneyline, xard, ft qqe, dynamic gains, etc. One or two of the indicators are blacklisted. Send me your email address (by pm) and I will be happy to send you a picture of the system. I like the 4H chart because I can spend quality time doing other things even though I trade full time. Keep in mind that a trader that uses a 4H time frame should trade small lot sizes since movements can be large. With a good system, the large movements can be to their advantage.

DaveWuk Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 To answer your question, most software packages produce bars in whole hour units so that results in bars closing on the hour - hence 9 am, 10 am, 11 am etc. The time is tied to the exchange time. Some packages enable you to customise the hour closing so if the market starts at 8.30 the first bar closes at 9.30 am then 10.30 am. Such as Tradestation. So your choice. eric07 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
