DLL imports does not need to be checked for the Currency Strength Indicator to work.  This would apply only if we were pulling data from external sources. If the indicator is listed in your indicators list, then yes, it is installed properly. I hope you are enjoying the training and have started to practice with the tools and strategy.

The video you provided is excellent, thank you. I've successfully beefed up the lines and entirely solved the problem I was having. Is it possible to make these new line widths the default so that I don't have to change them all every time I use the chart? 2. On the 'Common' section of the indicator control panel there is a check box for 'Allow DLL imports'. Please, what are DLL imports and should this box be checked or unchecked in normal operation? 3. On my broker's MT4 version the chart is listed under 'indicators' alongside Stochastic/MACD/MA's/RSI, etc. As dragging it across from this list seems to work alright, I take it this is installed correctly? Thanks again for your help. ------------------------------ Roderick Burdon ------------------------------ Original Message: Sent: 09-28-2017 11:32 From: Brian Stickney Subject: Currency Strength Chart Hi Roderick, Thank you for your email.  If you are struggling with the colors of the lines and can not find alternative colors to make them easier to read, you can actually change the line type or thickness.  I've recorded a quick video to help: [CSI line changes]( Screencast.com remove preview CSI line changes Free online storage and sharing with Screencast.com. 2 GB of storage and 2 GB of bandwidth per month for free.

Kind Regards, Brian ------------------------------ Brian Stickney Original Message: Sent: 09-26-2017 12:54 From: Roderick Burdon Subject: Currency Strength Chart Hi Folks I'm having difficulty relating colours of the lines on the chart to the tell-tale colours at the top, even on a decent-sized (19in) monitor. CHF and CAD are so similar that it is hard to identify them or tell them apart on the chart and the same goes for EUR and GBP, The tell-tale for USD is invisible and that for NZD is very faint. I've watched James's installation video again and can see the facility for editing the colour but I don't think there are are a sufficient number of distinctive colours in the palette to provide clear differentiation. I don't think I have any colour-blindness problems,either. Is it just me needing to stop being a cheapskate and spring for a better monitor or are others struggling? One answer might be stronger lines on the chart to make the colours stand out more, or text signals on the chart to identify the currency if you hover the cursor over a line? One for the wish list in in a future update of the software, perhaps? ------------------------------ Roderick Burdon ------------------------------ [] [top](#toca) [previous](#m3) [next](#m5) 5.

I really appreciate your feedback and this pair actually played out very well and rewarded many pips on the breakout above as well. Yes, I still trade the breakout box strategy daily and having a great time with it, although I also plan many of the trades in advance and simply use the breakout strategy as another confirmation/advantage in my trading. Thanks again Alex and I hope you have a great trading week! This is now the beginning of the busy season after all!

As an example, there you get FXCM, it also doesn't operate anymore in US, and to a lot of traders, like me, that was good. The approach that CCt makes of Forex is very good, and it is one of the best. You can see, in perspective, the behaviour of currencies as individual moves, but that is the movement of some money makers taht back up the info of the dashboard, from each of your brokers. But, the Forex market you may know that they are not only made independently one from another, James explain this in his books, but the strenght given for the pairs traded on every session depends on large transactions from one currency to another depending also of the period of the month, quarter or year. Also you must know the weight of the central banks of different countries. Once I told to Maryna how the big banks trade all day, they don't use charts like us, they don't use indicators like us, they don't use dashboards like us, they use prices, list of transactions made, transactions to make, and a big size of money volume that can be traded in agreement with different banks (search the Barclays trader jailed). I do believe that in one second the price can change a lot and make a lot of pips to one side, up or down, because in some times, this can't be registered on a chart, in fact, in the open of a session, it is very common to see. If you become aware on the next high volatility announcement on any MT4 platform, on a pair involved in that announcement, on the 1 Minute time frame, you will see that some times the big movements aren't registered, and also in the CCT doesn't record those big movements, because some times they are big ups and big downs and the price remain the same after that big movement. I think as a big strategy to trade you must follow all these important movements, Maryna is very accurate with the USD/MXN at every month, there is a lot of money sent to Mexico that the USD loss it's value some "pips". You may be a lot aware of the banks, if you can follow their trades, their THICKS (remember, thicks are contracts) put in what pairs the most of the time, and know all the news of the main banks, you will get a big picture of the Forex, as always James has taught to us. I will attach one pic of my daily monitoring day, these are on pause, but regularly always are moving, depending on the pair that I want to monitor, instead of monitor charts 24/5. When you see a new of those big banks, you will know what will be the tendency on that trading day. I hope this become useful for you guys, and Maryna I think that you are taking the great use of that breakout box! I recommend you to use a large size of volume when you master that tool !!

Maybe I'm just getting the time zones wrong in my messages... LOL! ------------------------------ Maryna MURRAY Original Message: Sent: 09-13-2017 15:06 From: James Edward Subject: GBPNZD - 100P in 3 seconds with London open - 12 SEP Hi Maryna, I think there is still some confusion here and you are unaware of a potentially very serious errors you are making. Your breakout box is set to an hour before the London open. Not the London open. You're trading Frankfurt, not London. The sharp move you appear to have entered on was an unexpected high impact news release related to the NZD and extremely volatile and low liquidity. If you experienced no widening of your spreads and no slippage, your broker is delivering a fake environment to you and you are not participating in the real market. I would change broker immediately. The CPI news you referred to on the GBP was actually 2.5 hours after your entry and caused the pair to spike back up in the opposite direction to your trade. Presumably this would have stopped you out if you were still in it, rather than present an opportunity to enter a second position. ------------------------------ James Edward London Original Message: Sent: 09-13-2017 14:29 From: Khalid Rashid Subject: GBPNZD - 100P in 3 seconds with London open - 12 SEP well done. what stop loss did you set it for post news trades ? ------------------------------ Khalid Life Student khldrashid1@gmail.com skype khalid.rashid566 Original Message: Sent: 09-12-2017 02:28 From: Maryna MURRAY Subject: GBPNZD - 100P in 3 seconds with London open - 12 SEP Whoop!  I posted a trade idea that we should watch this pair this week and it played out brilliantly with London open this morning. A shooting star formation formed at resistance on the 15min chart that was a great signal to sell and then the pair fell 100pips in a matter of 3 seconds! Great way to start a trading day with the London open using the breakout box. ------------------------------ Maryna MURRAY ------------------------------ [] [top](#toca) [previous](#m4) [next](#m6) 6.
