PipHut: Exciting New Services!

Posted In: learn forex
By:

I’m proud to roll out a few new services for PipHutters today, services that I think you will find extremely useful to help you trade better. Some of these services you may have noticed recently, others I bet you have not…

1) Candlestick Alert Service (beta)

By far the most exciting of the new announcements, welcome the Candlestick Alert Service! No matter how good a trader you are sometimes you miss candlestick signals. The best of us do it. Not anymore!

What this little gem does is monitor the 30m and 1h charts of the EUR/USD and show you if any bullish or bearish candlestick signals have been detected! Now this is still in BETA, so I want to remind people that the presentation might still be a little rough around the edges but that is what I need your feedback for!

Right now the service will only detect candlesticks on the 30m and 1h of the EURUSD and I’m starting with only the doji, shooting star, hammer, inverted hammer and hanging man. Once I’m sure it is detecting those properly I will begin to roll out other patterns as well..

2) Candlestick Reference Guide

What could go better with the Candlestick Alert Service than a Candlestick Quick Reference guide? Not much! This is pretty short right now, because I wanted to only display candles that the alert service is currently detecting (see above for list). But on the quick reference guide if you click on the image or name of any candle it will bring you to a more detailed page.

3) Forex Market Hours

I’ve had quite a few people ask me recently for a forex market hours tool, to see what markets are open and closed. Ask and you shall receive! Pretty self-explanatory. Check it out.

4) New forums

Yes, I know PipHut already had forums but, to be honest, I hated them. They were clunky, looked bad, were hard to navigate. I think these new forums (hopefully you agree) will be much easier for everyone to use. I know that the comments section of the posts are easier (and in many cases better) for discussing the day’s trading, but there are some things much easily discussed in a forum, such as trading systems that you can refer back to, ongoing conversations about a news event, commodities, OR if you want to post a chart or keep a journal thread going.

By the way, if you start a thread and aren’t getting much traction just let me know, I’ll post a link to it front and center on the main site and give you plenty of traffic.

    Thanks Mark for the candlestick alerts, well presented and the signals in pip-hut website in general over the last year or so, have been very beneficial toward my trading strategies.

    Id just like to ask a question with regards to candlestick signals!!!

    Do both the ‘Evening Star’ and ‘shooting star’ show the same signal or are they different?

    Thanks

      Evening star is not yet detected by this (beta) tool. Traditionally the evening star is a 3 candle pattern: long bull candle, small doji, long bear candle.

      Andy, not sure what you mean? Looks OK on the computers I tested it on and seems to be working for everyone else.

      Maybe you are confused because this “exciting new services” post that you posted on is top on the main page and you have to scroll down (on piphut.com main page) to get to the days trade analysis?

      Try going to http://piphut.com to make sure you on are the main page and then scroll down to see the day’s signal.

      If I’m completely off-base then please give me more details about the problem you are having.

    If I go to http://piphut.com I only see 16 posts. Scrolling down does not reveal any posts as such, I must first click on the “16 posts”.

    However if I go to http://piphut.com/2009/11/forex-signals-eurusd-remains-in-bear-channel/, I get to see many posts.
