{quote} I didn't find any problem in the journal TAB. So next week maybe I will try it another computer. Hopefully it will help.
if you have never used an auto trader before, there are 2 buttons you need to click.

1 - in the Properties window of the Dash expert advisor, click "Allow Live Trading" as shown in pic 1

2 - on the ribbon of your mt4 program, make sure you see a green circle with a white arrow in it which tells mt4 you want auto trading turned on.

the last thing, try it without using SL and TP amounts in your input boxes. some pairs, esp JPY pairs, will not work if your SL and TP values are too small!!

i hope this helps!

I got the following error when I run the dash:
"2017.08.07 08:44:43.685 XIMA_DASH USDCHF,H1: array out of range in 'XIMA_DASH.mq4' (931,47)"

The broker has 25 pairs in total which it doesn't include the following pairs:
GBPNZD
NZDCHF
NZDCAD

I ran it on another broker that has 28 currency pairs and it worked without any error.

hey guys, i have added some more Hare and Tortoise buttons. i have not really tested all of them so let me know if you have any issues. i have all my Tortoise buttons set on any pairs i dont have an open trade on yet.

Report from using the dash so far......

Friday, opened GBPAUD in a SELL. i saw it get as high as 51 pips last night before i went to sleep. it retraced today and i added to my position. as of now, i am up 70 pips! 175 PIPS!!!

Sunday, opened AUDUSD in a BUY. i saw it get as high as 19 pips before bedtime. it is currently at +9.5 pips.

so far.....i'm pleased with my results!

is anybody else trying this out? i see alot of downloads.....

so, just to be clear....i'm only using the Tortoise Auto Trading buttons!! i will see if it puts me into any trades overnight.

time for bed!!

I'm still not sure which one I should pay attention to...
Can you show me which one is the ideal color and number (highlight the row?)
Or maybe alert when the condition met?

Hey jnfer, there are a few ways to use this dash
1) Click any or all of the TORT Auto Trade buttons to ON. They will say AT and be maroon colored.
Then wait and let it open trades for you.

2) You can also watch the 2nd STOCH column, between B/S and SAR columns. If it is white colored, not ready for entry. If it turns Light Green or Red, the set up is getting close with all MA’s aligned. Now just waiting for the Stochastic to line up. When it turns Dard Green or Red, all 4 requirements have been met. So enter on your own by clicking the Blue or Orange corresponding button.
Note: the Left Input Box (yellow) lets you set lot, Tp and Sl for single trades and basket trades
The Right input Box(yellow) lets you set the lot, TP and SL for the Tortoise Trades.
There are other ways to use this, but for me, I think the above is the surest way to use. I can post some more pics tonight, but I’m at work now so can’t do any pics!

Good luck!

so the dash put me in USDJPY in a sell yesterday. it looks like a good trade, but i think i will put a target on this one since it has tested support twice before!

I guess it doesn't matter much, as they all seem to be pretty close to the same. I just wanted to know what the EA was set at.

hey everybody, i have uploaded a version with the stochastic settings changed to 21,14,14. today i am adding auto trading buttons for all the pairs so hopefully i can upload that later today.

on a side note, my home computer must have crashed yesterday and corrupted my mt4 cuz i could not turn it on last night. so i had to uninstall it and download mt4 again, but have lost ALL my indies, templates, etc! so a word of warning.......put a 2nd copy of your favorite ea's and indicators, etc. somewhere on your computer!!

luckily i have a second copy of my stuff on my work computer, but it is still a pain in the arse to reset up mt4 how i had it before!!!!

hope everybody has a great day today!!

so i have added all the Hare and Tortoise trading buttons for all the pairs. i have not checked if they all work. i wont be able to do that till tonight. my plan is to set up a new demo account $ 2K maybe, and also set up a trade explorer so everybody can see if my dash makes any $. i can say that you will need to decide to set a SL to keep any pips you have made on a trade because watching a trade be + 200 pips, and then -200 and 2 days later going back in my favor is a bit crazy. i will have to decide how i want to use my tool. i could open 2 trades, 1 for long term and the other with a SL to keep any pips i've made for the day.

i'll have to see what works best!

green pips to all!!

hi alex, my broker does not have a suffix, so i really cant test adding an"i" to my dash, but here is the mq4 file so you can add it if you wish.

good luck!
