firstly thnx to the firepips…..for helping everyone,
regarding format i would like to say that…..u can try to give signals in other format……
like for eg: EURUSD : 1.3677, S/L:1.3687, T/P: 1.3667

i.e buy/sell value for the pair, stoploss value and take profit value. it will be easier to understand for newbies. anyways this is just a suggestion, u can also try some other, more easier method…….
thnx and keep up the good work.

@Perrie, Elert looks good. Let me play around with it before we make it official

Wow, all the time-zone stuff, glad i don’t live/work in Russia ! – I’m at GMT+10, I prefer to work in GMT, as both GMT and EST are going to be included that’s great by me. (and there is only 1 GMT – similar are UTC AT et al) – i also work with Sidereal time – and that changes about 3m 56s every day 1 sidereal day = 23h 56m 4.09056seconds as of Jan 1 1900 (but even that changes with the years as the earth slows down). Then there’s anomalistic, synodic…….

As to the format of the email, i think formatting is the biggest hiccough, The use of the “elert” gadget might be worth considering, it could deliver near instantaneous info to the desktop, like when to cancel the O in OCO, when to adjust stops – especially between 4hr trades or when tp’s are hit. – just a thought

Hi Okey,

It can be done, but every small thing adds up. Remember that I also trade live on my own accounts and there is lot more that goes on every 4 hr that you may perceive. Having said that, I’ll still look into it.

one thang i can suggest is this, when u update ongoing trade and advise we move sl to -25 or whatever, for the sake of uniformity and spreads can u instead of saying move SL to -25 say move SL to 140.20. thanks

@Diet Pipsi, great suggestions there. I think people in countries where they only have one timezone may not be as accustomed to timzeone differences as compared to people in countries with multiple timezones. For the first timers it could be hard to get their head around it.

Regarding spacing in the emails, I type it separately in MS One Note and then copy to email, Twitter and FB. I think the idea of grid / table is good. In that case I’ll have to change the format from “text” to “HTML”. Wonder if that’s going to cause more issues

@richard, You are right Signals are every 4 hours but I’ve set up Hootsuite to send tweets at regular intervals containing important links.
