Depends on what timeframe your trading, in the skype group were mostly doing hourly, so we only need to watch the top of the hour, takes 5 minutes every hour, I personally do the entire afternoon while doing other things. If trading m1-m15 best is to focus on 2 hours after London Open and 2 hours after New york Exhange Open, (LO/NEO). We do have a variety of people doing different strategies from m1 to Daily and Weekly.

Just an update, I'm trying to get a VPN setup so I can view my trading platform while I am not home. This has become fairly time consuming. I hope that by next week I can FINALLY start my first t20. Hope everyone is well!

How do you setup wa VPN setup. I was setting up email alert, but has metatrader and my home computer be on to get alerts

Yea that's the problem, with a VPN, it can run on a separate server and nowadays you can have access from your phone. Most VPN services are about 10 bucks a month. I haven't decided on which one yet. But I need to be able to view the charts whip I'm not home, which is often... So I just googled "best VPN for forex". Lots of options.

Good forex vpns can be quite expensive, but if your trading h1 or slower timeframes theres no need for ultra fast low latency connections. I use the one recommended in Steve's website, and I think most do around here as well, it works fine and its been tested by several members at least, feel free to look for cheaper ones, I personally think this one is ok for its price.

if you get a VPN, you can literally go online via the VPN and download the mt4 from your broker and login. From there, via the VPN, go into the aims forum and download your indicators...or you can download Dropbox..which allows you from your home computer to put your indicators into Dropbox, and put them on your VPN via Dropbox.

Still working on vps. I'm a bit upset due to some personal and work issues I have been unable to begin trading. Unfortunately I probably won't be able to trade until after the new year. Hope everyone is doing well trading.

-I will be only taking setups 1 and 2 on hourly charts.
-I have setup my text alerts for mt4 for when the buy/sell indi makes a dot. That way I can go about my day and only check the charts when I get a text.
-I will focus on T20 once I begin.

good plan, meanwhile enjoy your time off trading. may be work a bit on formulating a detailed plan for the year ahead and ways to make sure you follow the plan. 70% of trading success depends on our ability to learn to know yourself and find out what works for us. Ways to cope with emotional side and how to utilise our brain capacity to its fullest potential.

Wise words immy. Thank you. I appreciate it.
