    The Forex Guy's Candle Painter for MT4

    Hi Dale, thx for this nice indicator, good idea, I think! But it doesnt work for me. It loads on the Chart (I see the text labels), but doesnt draw the actual coloured bars. If I switch to line mode or normal bar mode, the colours appear, but not in candle stick mode. Any ideas whats wrong?

    How do you deal with desperation?

    Thanks for you comment Vas. I had some more thoughts on it in the mean time and I try to see the whole thing in a positive way: Firstly: I havent made money, but I did not lose any, too. Not bad. Secondly: I sticked to my plan despite it is challenging. Good thing! To reduce the feeling of...

    MT5 and Split MM does not work

    I'm really pissed off as I just realised that MT5 doesn't let me open 2 equal sized positions with the same entry and stop but different take profits. It just puts them together, drops the smaller TP and uses the bigger TP for the whole position. I don't know weather this is a general behaviour...
