Here’s a reply to a very essential question… Windows XP SP running MT4. If MT4 don’t work, we can’t trade!
Jason asked via email:
Julian,
I have been having an issue being able to run the trend setter program. The program opens fine
but after 15 seconds a popup comes up indicating a critical error has occured and the program
closes. Do you have any ideas on how to resolve this? I attached a copy of the popup window. I
have tried many stock trading programs with average results and hope to make this one work.
Have a great day!
Jason

My Reply:
Jason. You need to get Windows SP3. SP1 sucks like hell.. If that’s absolutely impossible, I highly recommend you set the timeframe of choice first before applying template. MT4 screws up like that on ALL Sp1s I’ve come across.
It’s hassling… but it’s the best fix for a buggy OS.
Other thing u can try is reinstall ur mt4 programme and get the latest update.. but u need to upgrade ur windows. don’t get the vista though.
Many of you will experience such a problem with your MT4. Sans any template, it works fine. But plonk on a template and try changing time frame…or even before that.. and the program just goes into “Not Responding”, and you’ll have to restart it, and you find that your workspace will be reverted to last normal shutdown, and you’ll have to re-apply every damn template again.
Tip: Load all currencies you plan to trade to the 1H or 4H timeframe you’re keener on.. and Then plonk on with the Indicators… either the Trend Forex 2.0 (if you bought one) or Trend Shadow. And then… CLOSE THE PROGRAM. Restart the program again.. so this time even if it crashes.. all your timeframes and templates will be there.
