I am having trouble getting the B-line template / Indicators imported into my FXCM ( MarketScope 2.0 ) platform I use NinjaTrader for my Futures trading, but am currently using FXCM for forex, and would like to have the same Indicator setup ( B-line ) on my MarketScope 2.0 platform as I do my NT platform. Here's the link for the Actual Indicators plotted on a chart..... http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=4522&d=1233767998 Here's the link to the thread that mentions the B-line Indicator with the Zip files.... .http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=9206&highlight=b-line And lastly, here is the code from TradeStation in Text format..... Input: Price(Close), Length1(35), Length2(10), Length3(1), OverBought(80), OverSold(20), MidColor(White),OBOSColor(Red); Variables: KFast(0), KFull(0), DFull(0), LL(O), HH(0); LL = Lowest((High+Low)/2, Length1); HH = Highest((High+Low)/2, Length1); KFast = 100 * IFF(HH-LL=0,0,(((High+Low)/2) - LL)/(HH- LL)); KFull = Average(KFast, Length2); DFull = Average(KFull, Length3); If KFull <= 80 and KFull >= 20 then Plot1(KFull,"Stoc",MidColor,Default,2) else Plot1(KFull,"Stoc",OBOSColor,Default,2); Plot3(OverBought, "OverBought"); Plot4(OverSold, "OverSold"); Thanks so much for the time and the help, I very much appreciate it

To keep me in the trade. I am trying to find an indicator or even a set of Indicators, to help Keep me in my trades. A quick Summary.... I entered Short, on the EUR/USD back around the first week of May of this year ( 2014 ) based on the Weekly chart. Well, from that point, until now, it has plummeted in pricem which was my initial thought when I went short back in May. What happened was, it consolidated from June - the end of July, and of course, I tightened my stop, and was taken out of the trade, and then wham, the EUR/USD just tanks, and I miss all of that drop ( profit in Pips ) Looking back, I am trying to find a way, that I can avoid getting " Nervous " and tightening my stop and getting taken out of a trade again, right before a huge move. I have been looking at Heiken Ashi and the ATR indicators, to use as a basis for leaving my stops more " Lose " I trade on higher Timeframes usually ( Weekly charts, where each candle represents 1 weeks worth of trading ). So given that, what would be a good setting to use on the ATR ( a 14, 21 or a higher lookback setting ? ) And what is a good guideline when using the Heiken Ashi, to help confirm a strong trend, that also filters out a majority of any whipsaw ? I have heard that if your Short in a trade, some traders will tighten their stop or even exit the trade, if you get 3 consecutive Blue bars ( representing Buying strength ) Thank you for any insight and help. I just can't stand to be on the sidelines on such a big move, when my initial entry was correct, but I let a consolidation of price make me nervous and I then miss all of those Pips Thanks again

when trading just a regular Call option. Example..... MCD currently trading at $93.55 The September $94 Call ( 28 days to exp. ) has a Bid of .90 and Ask of .98 So my question is, when exactly will I start to make a profit on my Call option? Does the Option/Stock have to move..... 1. The .08 cents between the Bid x Ask spread 2. The cost to buy the Call for .98 cents 3. The difference between the $94 Call minus the price that the stock is currently trading at of $93.55 = .45 cents So is the total required move in the stock, before I realize 1 cent of profit , $1.51 ( .08 + .98 + .45 ) ? Thanks for the help, very much appreciated - Michael

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am having some trouble understanding the way the price of certain strikes reacted to the drop in price on ticker ICPT back from March 23, 2014 to April 18,2014 . This is a Bear Call spread trade ( credit ) Here's how the scenario played out ( I have attached 2 charts, that show each of the 4 weeks strikes, and how they played out ),..... On 3-23-2014 the 610/620 Bear call spread gave me a Net credit of .80 cents One week later ( on 3-30-2014 ), the stock had dropped in price by $19. Looking at the 610 call on 3-30 , it would have cost $2.45 to buy it back. What I'm trying to understand, is why would it cost so much to buy it back, after such a big drop in the stock? The 530, 540, 550 and 560 strikes didn't move at all either On April 6 , and with 11 days to go till expiration, the stock dropped another $27 dollars in price, BUT.... the 610 call that we sold ( when we put on the trade ) didn't even budge again.... it stayed at $2.45 . But look at the 530 and 540 strikes, Both of this strikes " Finally " dropped in half, and again, the 550 and 560 strikes still didn't budge on April 12 , the stock had 5 days till expiration and dropped in price another $24, and Finally, the 610 strike dropped in price , and it dropped big time 9 from $2.45 to .02 cents ) , BUT...... the 530 strike went back up in price ( it basically doubled in price, from $2.65 to $4.90 ), The 540 strike didn't move ( it stayed at $2.00 ), the 550 and 560 strikes STILL didn't move ( both stayed at $4.90 ) , and the 610 strike remained unchanged at .02 cents ) on April 18 ( Expiration Day ), everything remained unchanged in price , from the previous week. What I don't understand, is why the 610 strike would eventually go from $4.90 to .02 , but the 550 and 560 strikes never moved. there was a $77 drop in the price in the stock, and yet the 550 and 560 didn't move, but the 610 strike did ( and the 610 was more OTM then both the 550 and 560 ) Thanks for fellow members help, I'm know I'm missing something, I just can't put my finger on what it is Maybe there's a Greek I don't fully understand Or maybe there's something I can add to my option chains, that can help me to avoid making trades on these far OTM strikes , that have almost zero chance of moving, no matter how much in price that the stock itself moves. There was very ( if any ) Volume and Open Interest on certain strikes , that far OTM. Is this the main reason for their not being hardly any movement in the stock, even though it had dropped $240 ( 60% ) by expiration ? thanks much everyone, I really appreciate it
