Tools:As this site grows, so does our arsenal of tools to go along with the method. Here you will find all of the templates, indicators, the RapidFire trading scripts, and the how to's for importing some of these tools into MetaTrader. Simplicity is just one of the keys to any successful trading method and hopefully some of these tools will aid in that venture. Scroll down to see some of these tools. Practice Charts:Every few weeks I go through a refresher course with the charts. Printing them out and handwriting notes on them instead of looking at them on the screen and making mental notes are vastly different. I am a firm believer that when you put pen to paper things stick to the brain a little better. The two .pdf files here are the charts from 2007 for the EURUSD. One file is the 4 hour charts and the other is the 1 hour charts. On the 4 hour charts there is a numbered vertical line through the Sunday open. The 1 hour charts have the same numbered line as well. The numbered line on the 1 hour chart corresponds with the same numbered line on the 4 hour charts. This makes it easier to find the same time on both charts. If you do not trade the EURUSD it does not matter. The 'homework' here is to look at the MACD patterns and how price reacts to the moving averages. So, print them out and go to your room. No, I still haven't cleaned mine. Right-click on the icon and save.

This Period Separator by 'lucidlamp' will draw a vertical line at the start of your trading day. Use this indicator as a reference point to make it easier to find the start of each day to print charts out and do 'homework' on your favorite currency pair. Simply enter the hour under the inputs tab (in 24hr format) and under the colors tab, select the color of the line. The color is defaulted to black. This Sessions indicator will place a colored rectangle from the high to low of the Asian, New York, and European session. The colors and session times are user selectable. Clicking on the image will link back to the thread post at the Forex Factory where the indicaor can be downloaded from. Sroll to find post #7990 to download the indicator. I was unable to locate the author for permission to put it on this site.

RapidFire Trading Scripts:I'd like to thank 'stockwet' at the Forex Factory for allowing me to hack, or edit I should say, his RapidFire script code. And, thanks to 'Richard7' and 'elvado1' for helping out to make sure that these scripts are doing what they are supposed to do. These scripts will make it a lot easier to enter multiple orders (3) at the same time when a Rb or Rt occurs and you have three profit targets in mind per the moving averages. How they work: The BUY scripts will only buy 3 seperate postions at the current ask price and the SELL scripts will only sell 3 seperate positions at the current bid price. There is a +/- 3 pip slippage in the event that the current price moves up or down while the order is being processed. During testing there hasn't been any slippage. In other words, all 3 orders had the exact same entry price. There are only two variables that you have to enter and they are described below: Order1LotSize This is the size of the lot that you want to open for the first order. Enter 1.0 for a standard lot, 0.1 for a mini, or .001 for a micro lot. Yes, you can enter lot sizes such as 0.2 or 1.5. Any lot size that your broker allows should work. Order2LotSize and Order3LotSize follow those same inputs. TakeProfit1 TakeProfit1 is simply the profit target for the first order. Order1LotSize and Takeprofit1 are the inputs for the first order. Order2LotSize and Takeprofit2 are the inputs for the second order. While Order3LotSize and Takeprofit3 are the inputs for the third order. You can leave this as 0.0 and enter the take profit price later by modifying the order after it is opened. *** IMPORTANT*** There is no input to enter a stop loss with the orders. It is up to you to enter a stop loss after each order is opened for each of the three positions. Please open a demo account with your broker to test the scripts and get familiar with how they work. In order to buy or sell a given currency pair the script must be dragged on to the correct chart. In other words, if you want to buy three EURUSD you must drag the RapidFire.BUY.3.EURUSD on to the EURUSD chart. If you are not familiar with how to import scripts into MetaTrader 4 click the link below for help Importing Scripts Into Metatrader 4 Click on the image to download the script for the pair(s) you trade. Note: These scripts have the currency pair pre-set for those brokers that do not require a special symbol to trade micro or mini lots. Just drag and drop the correct RapidFire script pair on to the same currency pair chart. Then, enter your values, click OK, and boo-yah!
If your Forex broker requires a special symbol to trade micro or mini lots, these are the scripts you need. You must enter the currency pair with the special symbol in the CurrencyPair1, 2, and 3 field along with the other values. Then, drag and drop the script on the correct chart, click OK, and boo-yah to you too!
