Hello PipQueen, I know you are busy to found this ICWR based EA Whic follows the rules of the manual strictly. But the EA has some compilation errors. I do n ot know how to code but I was just wondering if you could look into the source code and correct the errors so that it compiles. Let me know if it something that you can do. Thank you. {file}
yes about the wornings... but it require the icwr custom indicator you have to compile and have it otherwise it will not work.
the warning about lines 16 and 17 you can move the assignment of the spread and slip variables at the
beginning of the start() function..... i dont know nothing about this strategy .. think ts very old but.. curious to try demo.

Test Results: Tested the Dashboard yestersay. At about 20.45pm (UK Time, that is GMT+1), I turned on Auto Trading for all the pairs in the Dashboard, using the "Standard" option and left it overnight. Today, Friday the 6th of October, which happens to be a non farm payroll day, I turned off all the pairs at about 19.00, the attached screenshots are my results. £33 profit. Traded 0.01 lots. The ICWR from research happens to work for trending day but will blow your account in a choppy market. I intend to continue running this test till the end of...
What was your TP and SL?

All kinds of problems on my terminals. Not taking any Dare Me trades or Standard Trades. No error messages in the journal. I have the indy in the correct folder, but it's not loading on startup. Also, when clicking on some of the pairs, an alert pops up stating that trades are being taken, when they are not. The alert is also running in a continuous loop and can't be eliminated, without removing the EA and reloading.

Rob, the dash goes in the EA folder...fyi. i will disable all the alerts this evening. also hopefully do a 2nd dash with 4hour TF for that one.

sorry you are having problems....

i was listening to a webinar today and the guy was saying how some strategies are better during volatile times vs. non volatile times. i'm thinking the dash would be better suited during the asian market(non volatile) and not LO or USD markets. any thoughts anybody?

The dashboard is in the experts folder, the indy is in the indicators folder, which is as it should be.

hey guys, here is the same dashboard as above, except all times for determining trades are based on 4 hours INSTEAD of 1 hour. i'm thinking of using this during the asian market.

hey rob, not sure what broker you are using. but if your pair names have an extension, that may be the problem. this dash works fine on oanda. the pair names are EURUSD........no extension.

My broker, forex.com, has a pro suffix, which I have entered into the EA inputs. So, that's not the problem. I'm still wondering why I'm not seeing the indy load when I put the EA on a chart.

My bad - I was under the impression the EA needed to load the original ICWR indy. Now, take a look at the attached screenshot just taken with your new H4 dashboard EA. As soon as I clicked on the usdchf standard trade button, the alert popped up and went into continuous mode and would not stop until the EA was removed from the chart. BTW, no trade was ever placed.

rob, i has to be because of your pair extensions. the alert is being turned on because it went thru the the buy or sell conditions were met, but the trade not placed because i have the pair names hard coded. if you tell me your pair names, i will fix it OR i will send you the mq file and you can fix it yourself if you prefer. either way.....

Good job. Consistency is the key. If you continue to see positive results over a period of time, you can always up your lot-size.

Here's a screenshot of Market Watch and EA input parameters. You can see that I've correctly entered the "pro" suffix to exactly match what's in Market Watch.

so this is the 1 hour dash that "should" work with a suffix. let me know if it doesn't. i really cant check it since i dont have a suffix. but it compiled without any errors.

if it works ok, i will also change the 4 hour, in case anybody wants to try it out.
