Quoting ecpro
New update is available now v2.14 - bug fixes - Refresh only clears the cache and other improvements
Thank you ecpro will load again and see if it works. Have you had a look at the resolution of the dashboard?

Hi ecpro picked up something strange happening. When I load the EA it will aske me to update to version 2.16, after clicking yes, it will say it will close the terminal and then shuts my MT4 platform down, I then have to restart MT4 and it does the same thing again and again. If I click no then it loads fine. So there seems to be some auto update issue that's shutting down MT4 each time.

This EA is highly time sensitive, means that your time should be up to the second matching the world clock.

The best way to ensure accuracy in your system clock is be connected to world clock server. To do so, either do some changes in the PC Registry which requires some kind of skills, or download readymade software that synchronize your system clock to world clock, you can easily google it, or here some examples below

Happy trading week

Hi mrdfx

Thank you for your patience, it is of high support to me to get some feedback from users.

When you press 'No' and the EA runs, does it show v2.16 in the left bottom of the window?

Anyway, I have uploaded the EA once again in the server, though some of my friends confirmed it been fixed. Try for the last time and if didn't work, you may download it once again from the first post.

Good day

Hi ecpro thanks I re-downloaded the EA from your first post, reinstalled and it did not happen again. The only thing is the overlap of the layout due to the resolution, I think there is a minimum size requirement to display everything properly, looks like unfortunately my Mac 13" doesn't fit.

When I found this problem all I did was to close the present chart and reload a new chart afresh.

Hi mrdfx

You are right, I made this EA to run on wide monitors (2k x 1k).. therefore, I have just created an option to show or hide the lines and events that are displayed on right of the screen. I think this would help a little bit solving the problem and avoid overlapping of texts

Auto Update is working fine now.

Cheers

Hi ecpro. It looks like you're sharing a nice tool. Thank you. I have a weird problem though: I just tried to load the EA and I keep getting the error message as in the pic, whether I update or not. Clicking OK will only populate the Business News windows but the alert keeps coming up. Any suggestion?

You need to add the following website urls to your MT4 "Allow WebRequest for listed URL"

Go to: Tools > Options > Expert Advisors > Allow WebRequest for listed URL

Add the following urls:

Oh, right! Thank you so much. I never used that option before... (and also I made the mistake not to read post #20. Apologies...)

Hi 4fxonly

are you getting any kind of errors? maybe you need to check the settings such as (StopOrder Range, Narrow range and TP/SL) and make sure it suites your.. meanwhile check the 'Expert' at the bottom of the terminal (Ctrl+T)

btw, to get the best view of the tool, press F11

CreateButton error is not an issue, will fix this bug next update

but, "trade operations not allowed by settings" is because you should allow Live trading while attaching the EA on a

look at the screenshot below

No errors or messages in the Experts tab. You see my settings in the pic taken just after clicking the Place Stop Orders button for GBP. Nothing happened and the Experts tab is silent... The only effect is to reset the currency choice. By the way, the buy/sell at market buttons work fine.
