Sorry ES, been googling for a while still no luck on rescaling the price window through code. Min max values can be read but still haven't seen anything that will set it (other than manually)...
I see you've made some minor adjustments to your methodology. i.e. you are now also including agreement of the CR in the 4HR time frame. Another point, you've mentioned that the 5minute demarker is used for all entries across all timeframes but it would seem that you now will use the demarker in the secondary timeframe? Oh, and about the format, personally I prefer a tabular format, just easier to read I guess...
re: rescaling main chart Greetings all I concur with fifo re not being able to rescale the main chart window programmatically. Metatrader scripting language has no means to do this. On another matter: I have attached a multi-timeframe demarker indicator that I put together to time my entries in the 15-min timeframe. (I also use murray-math for timing...not direction). It may be useful, though probably not on the real small windows that ES uses. Cheers
ENTRY SHORT Entry: EUR/GBP Short Trade Decision Criteria met: CR Daily and CR 4-hr agreed in the short direction. Demarker on the 4 HR. was in the strong short zone.

COMMENTARY: Welcome to "Golden Arches". This is a test. Please stay tuned for the new thread 02/13/07. The current exposure in USD is partially hedged and heavy exposure in short CHF & Long GBP.
Yeah some tests with minor adjustments..thanks! I think that for now, hedging will tame the DD...there was a poster here that said he traded without stops and used hedging and traded bi-directionally, but I cannot find his post. Michael B.
I will be leaving this thread open for a while, as suggested earlier, even after the "Golden Arch's trading gets under way in the new thread. Everything is as scheduled and planned for 02/13/07. Stops will be utilizing hedging and exposure mangement. Offsetting losses and profits may be taken together to net out zero profit on a basket of exits.. The different timeframes seem to work and I am partial to the safer and longer timeframes that the Daily and the four hour represent...Also less trading... ElectricSavant⢠Michael B. 17,252 views
oh well...can't have everything...maybe in the future they will do some upgrades in MT4 and add a check box for a price pane indicator to utilize "view-sensitive indicator scaling"...

COMMENTARY: Welcome to "Golden Arches". This is a test. Please stay tuned for the new thread 02/13/07. The trade duration of the NZD/USD has been longer than I had expected, but the entry criteria was in development and this trade was made in the early stages. The Daily CR remains long, but the 4 hr. CR is short, with a DeMarker Sell zone signaling. USD will need a Hedge, to maintain low DD. The max DD seen is -11.59%, in these 11 days of tracking. At 5:00 AM (mst) is the GBP interest rate statement and 6:30AM (mst) the USD unemployment claims.
