Trading Live using Custom Timeframe Charts

0 replies

1 year ago #281103

Hello,

I have generated strategies that are using timeframes that are not available from default at MT4 platform e.g. H2, H3, H7, H11 and other variations of the hourly timeframe. I have used the script “PeriodConverter” to generate the charts of these custom timeframes for different symbols and I preserved the hourly charts from which data is provided for these offline custom timeframe charts in order for them to be updated and work as a live chart would in the MT4 platform.

However when I migrate all these EAs and charts to the VPS MT4 to trade live, I see only 20 charts in the hosting, meaning that it is hosting only the custom timeframe charts and not the hourly charts from which the custom timeframe charts are getting data, and I fear that this way the custom timeframe charts which are being hosted on the VPS and on which I want to trade will not be updated.

Furthermore I want to know if anyone has experience trading live on custom timeframes not available in the default MT4 platform timeframes and if it is even possible on MT4 or on other platform like MT5.

Thanks in advance and I hope I described the situation adequately.

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
