danged if i can or would spend the next week converting dollars into pips for this year !

thnx

I don't think there is an easy way to convert your closed trades from monetary to pip value. To do so on live trades is simply two clicks.

There is a software I know of that does it for you. It isn't free but isn't expensive ($15 bucks for lifetime license). I was thinking about coppin it. I am not an affiliate nor do I own it myself, I repeat, I AM NOT AN AFFILIATE NOR DO I OWN A COPY, but I know quite a few people who do and are happy w/ it. I think, by your definition, this is advertising. I, instead, view it as word-of-mouth marketing or "network" marketing. Anyway, give it a look. Helps you solve your issue of converting dollars to pip value.

Dammit, I did it again. BigBear, I promise I will not say anything else on your thread not pertaining to the primary subject matter. Scouts honor......... Good luck w/ your contest and your trading.

now, having conveyed this information thru the medium of "non-affiliated word of mouth network marketing", i see no link to this software "that shall not be named", nor any information concerning the relatively simple "two clicks to show pips" routine you never spoke of and of which, shall also never be considered as "advertising" !

as to any conceiveable "off topic" situations on this"competition oriented" thread, it might be of considerable value to those dealing in pips (how DO they know how many pips ?) to be able to convert to dollars, yen, pound sterling and/or all the other currencies we international bankers deal in, so your post can be considered "non-affiliated word of mouth network marketing INFORMATION !"

looking forward to some inkling concerning "the software that shall not be named !"

Was your response one of jovial discussion or condensending chatter? I ask because it could go either way and I'd hate to ASS U ME. Thanks

There is a new version 42 of the EA on post 1522. A bug was found in v41 that overrode one of the filter tests with nonLagDot. Now all filter tests work correctly.

I am reacting to what I read, and wherever this thread may have started, its like the childs game of "telephone" -- it takes on its own life and direction and its present direction, whether you desire it or not, has fallen to a discussion of how your "results" should be presented !

I refer to "advertising" as ANYONE who posts "results" of a competition, testing or "placement", which, by definition, IS advertising !!!

You may very well have your concept of what your posts were MEANT to mean, but when you see confusion and discussion setting in concerning your posts, instead of reacting like a big ole bear, try seeing what OTHERS are reading into the confusion and think about it for a minute --- if you would choose to see, then you could easily and simply explain YOUR position as insults and yelling back do NOT represent conversation, simply an inability to understand why this is happening !

THEN, once youve settled that, get on with whatever the point is --- you know, the ORIGINAL point !
