Still, the situation I desccribed can be solved?
Sorry, I don't know how to remedy this, short of loading the .tpl (template) file into a text editor like Notepad, and then deleting all of the references to objects in the template, i.e. all text between and including

<object>
and
</object>

for each of the 28 objects in the file. Then save the file, and re-load the template in MT4.

In other words, you would end up with a template file similar to the one I've attached.

Simple answer: unless you're familiar with editing XML code, it's probably better to go with the Load/Save presets option.

There is a more simple way, but basically the same.

You need to create a template with the settings you want, then press CTRL+B and delete all the objects in the list, then save the template. This way there will be no wrong objects if you will load the template the next time, e.g. the next day.

But my original Q was, why this particularly indi will save that objects and will not overwrite them with the next loading?! Maybe there is no A. I'm far far away from coding, just describing what I see.


And hanover, many thanks to you for your endless help.

Yes, that will work (provided that you save the template before the indicator re-creates the objects on the next price tick).

Anyway, I think I just noticed a bug in the original indicator's code, that would cause multiple sets of objects to be created. I've attached a fix below. Note that there is a new parameter setting: if you're attaching multiple instances of the indicator onto the same chart, you must give UniqueID a different value for each instance. I've included both the b509 and b600+ source code in the attached ZIP.

I'm sorry for keeping bothering you, but the indi doesn't show info for all possible pairs, yet it creates some objects which appear to be empty.

I put AUD,CHF,CAD,EUR,GBP,JPY,NZD,USD,NOK,MXN,ZAR,DKK,CZK,HKD,TRY,PLN,SEK,SGD,HUF,CNH in the currencies.

I wasn't able to reproduce your exact problem (empty objects). But when I added SGD and ZAR to my list of Currencies, nothing displayed. I've made the following changes, which fixed this problem:

1. I fixed a possible 'division by zero' error that could potentially occur if the Open Price of the current daily candle for an instrument/pair is 0. This can happen while MT4 is gathering data for an instrument/pair whose D1 chart hasn't previously been loaded/displayed.

2. I've extended the maximum number of instruments/pairs that can be displayed (i.e. objects/lines displayed on the screen) from 40 to 300, and the maximum number of items in the Currencies list from 40 to 50.

3. The indicator works by pairing every item in the list of Currencies with EVERY other item. To determine whether each paired item is a valid instrument/pair offered by your br0ker, previously the indicator was checking to see whether its spread was 0. I've changed it so that it now checks whether the bid price of the instrument/pair is zero. This is probably a safer check, because sometimes the spread of even a valid instrument/pair can be zero.

I've attached the new version(s) below. Let me know if it fixes the problem(s) you were experiencing.

Works perfectly, the new version successfully showed info for all 62 currency pairs for Tickmill.

Will you post the source code?

Hello, David.


When adding GOLD to the currencies list on XM account, the indicator shows info only for it, missing other currency pairs.


I wonder why? Could take a look at this situation, please, maybe it's fixable?

It's not a bug. To explain:

 If all of the items in the Currencies list are 3 chars each, then the indicator assumes that the list is currencies, and attempts to pair every item in the list with every other item, e.g. if Currencies = EUR, USD, JPY then there are 6 possible combos: EURUSD, EURJPY, USDEUR, USDJPY, JPYEUR, JPYUSD. Then it displays any/all of these that are deemed to be 'valid' symbols by your br0ker, i.e. probably only EURUSD, EURJPY and USDJPY will be valid.

 If there is at least one item in the list with >=4 chars, then every item in the list is assumed to be a pair/instrument, and is treated as such. Thus if your list is: EURUSD, GBPUSD, GOLD, then the only symbols that will be displayed are EURUSD, GBPUSD and GOLD. Hence if your list is EUR, GBP and GOLD, then only GOLD will be displayed, because EUR and GBP are not recognized as valid symbols by your br0ker.

Hence if you want to include any metals, indices, etc, i.e. symbols >= 4 chars, then you would need to include all 28 pairs in the Currencies list also:

AUDCAD,AUDCHF,AUDJPY,AUDNZD,AUDUSD,CADCHF,CADJPY,CHFJPY,EURAUD,EURCAD,EURCHF,EURGBP,EURJPY,EURNZD,EURUSD,GBPAUD,GBPCAD,GBPCHF,GBPJPY,GBPNZD,GBPUSD,NZDCAD,NZDCHF,NZDJPY,NZDUSD,USDCAD,USDCHF,USDJPY

(To save typing, just copy the above list into the indicator setting, then add any metals etc to the end of the list)

From post #1:

Quote
leave blank to output only for the pair on whose chart the script/indicator is attached. Otherwise type in up to 40 pairs


I'm trying to put in this in the Currencies field:

GOLD,USDZAR,EURZAR,USDMXN,USDNOK,EURNOK,GBPNOK,USDSEK,EURSEK,GBPSEK,AUDCAD,AUDCHF,AUDJPY,AUDNZD,AUDUSD,CADCHF,CADJPY,CHFJPY,EURAUD,EURCAD,EURCHF,EURGBP,EURJPY,EURNZD,EURUSD,GBPAUD,GBPCAD,GBPCHF,GBPJPY,GBPNZD,GBPUSD,NZDCAD,NZDCHF,NZDJPY,NZDUSD,USDCAD,USDCHF


That's 37 pairs, but the indi cuts off the very last "F" letter for USDCHF, seems like there is no enough space in the field for it.

Problem occurs only with the "(b600+)" version of the indicator. Apparently input fields get truncated to 256 chars with MetaQuotes' build 600+ implementation. (Another good reason to stay with build 509, haha).

Hi Hannover,

Thanks for this nice tool, i found small bug,
When i add suffix ex. "-ECN" and set var FullSymbolID to "TRUE", last column (SwapShort) is cutted.

Probably some settings of table width.

Please, could you repair it?

Thanks a lot.

MT4 restricts the number of characters in an object description to 60. I can't change this limitation.
