Edit 24/6/21: Version 2.1 with MTF view https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/post/13598103#post13598103

Hi,

I'm sharing this tool for those who want to follow along Laura's new strat: https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...ading-strategy
It's the "Daylight Trading Strategy", and there has already been some requests as to having a dashboard, so I've coded up this indicator.

The aim is simply to help monitor when setups might occur, and alerting on certain conditions. The strategy is simple enough in itself, so there is no need to make things too complicated. Here is what it looks like:

How you read it is simple: the "%R" column represents the sub-window. Green is bullish & daylight between the 2 MAs, red is bearish, and gray is no daylight. For example, on this chart the dashboard indicated "gray" at the time of the screenshot, because the 2 MAs in sub-window were too close together.

As for the settings, also nothing special:

The only item you should change is the first one, "Get instruments from". You can leave as is if you want to display your whole marketwatch, if not then you select the 2nd option, and you specify in "List of pairs" what instruments you want displayed.
The MA settings are the default.
And finally, there are 2 types of alert if you want, when the chart MAs cross, or when the %R MAs display enough daylight.

One important thing: You attach the indicator on a blank chart, on the timeframe you want monitored. On the original thread the recommended TF is M15, so you would attach it to a chart on that TF. If you want to monitor the M5 TF, well just switch to that.

Edit 24/6/21 : Version 2.1 with HTF view. https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...3#post13598103
Edit 7/7/21 : Version 2.2 with modification on how the MarketWatch is accessed, and less freeze time

Have fun

The indicator works very well, but even though I select pairs it shows me all pairs that are available in my broker. I think I'm doing something wrong.
thank you for your help

Hi Barraka,

Thank you for sharing dashboard indicator.
If it is not too much Can you add an option to resize the display size? I think Currently it is taking too much of screen space just for for three column.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, thanks for sharing the tool, much appreciated.

However, please see attached which seems to be signalling an entry in error. There is no gap on the W% ma's ( which I set to 10 ). Also, do you check which ma is on top in the %W window and that they match the ma's on the main chart (e.g. both reds on top or both reds on bottom)? I had another pair which showed a signal but the ma's were out of step top/bottom.

Regards, Paul.

Great work Barraka. Will try this out soon. For the aggressive version, how do we set the 2 MAs on your indicator? It uses high and low of the 5 period smoothed MA.

Thank you.

Hi Pah,

In regards to the MAs, no they are independent on the dashboard. It is done on purpose, because some may actually want to see when the chart MAs are bullish whereas the %R MAs are bearish, because it can sometimes be a good opportunity to spot a pullback. In which case, you could enter short in this example when the chart MAs become bearish once more.
Another example where it helps to have the chart & sub-window MAs independently, is let's say you're already in a long & in profit, but you want to be alerted if the chart MAs just turn bearish, because it might be an exit signal.

As to your chart not updating, I've checked on my side again just to be sure, but everything is working ok. It seems like a broker / platform issue on your side, where the info has not been updated for the last H1 bar. Looking at your chart, it seems to be displaying the info on the previous bar instead. Usually what you want to do in that case is close MT4 & open it again. Also switch TFs back and forth. Try that next time it happens and see if it fixes the issue.

Thanks,

Hi,

This version is for the normal method only. I'll maybe add an aggressive option in the future.

Thanks,

Hi,

Well you're not really supposed to actually use the chart you have it on. It is meant to be on a stand-alone tab, and once you have spotted a pair you want to have a look at, just switch to another tab which would be your normal trading template.

You can also hide the candle sticks to make the window look overall cleaner. Here's how it is on my side:

Also, I may (or may not) add other columns in the future, so extend the dashboard to the right.

Thanks,
