{quote} Thanks I was however assuming the TS would generate it's signal to the DB based on the presence of Ball 3 which is the case on both charts or am I still off the mark? Cheers

Could be a timing difference between the Brokers or did you check the error logs for -1 crap errors?

BTW I have put back my Windows 7 boot disk, replacing the Linux test one, and have optimized the Win7 performance as much as I can. Unfortunately I still need Windows for two other programs that I occasionally use, I'm unable to run then on Linux nor find replacements for them. After much research I believe Win7 will remain more efficient than Win10 over time, and security is a non-issue as I don't use the box for anything other that MT4 trading. I'm not a fan of Win10 with it's bloatware, privacy issues (Microsoft has snoops built-in), Microsoft adverts, and many other issues...which pull the overall performance down, I have a Win10 laptop that takes 10-20mins to boot, it was only 2-5mins with Win7 before upgrade!!!
Sorry for the rant....
One thing I have noticed when you have multiple MT4 terminals running in Windows, that is if you Minimize the terminal window as you swap between terminals rather leave them all maximized and swap between terminals, then there is a big reduction in CPU load (I do have a video card BTW). Also I found the sluggishness with a terminal normally occurs when the MT4 BOT is busy trying to process many open orders, or when there is an issue trying process a trade with the Broker.

I run 5 MT4 terminals on a vps and always minimise every chart and every terminal when I finished with it and have found no issues with speed or lag.
Occasionally when I run high CPU intensive bots at 5 or 15, 60 minute intervals I will get some lock-up but that is to be expected

No that is minutes...it should not take that long, but it does. I have even optimized the startup...I dislike Windows, I would not use if I could run all my programs on Linux, which takes less than a minute to startup on the same laptop.

Wow that is pretty poor - I have no knowledge of Linux, looked into it many moons ago and it didn't appeal to me having to use emulators and this and that just to get a windows program up and running so I have stuck with windows and don't really experience any issues at all with W10

I run my main desktop on Linux (I use Mint 19.1 currently) and have done so for years, I don't miss Windows. If I need to run the occasional Windows program I have Windows8.1 in a VirtualBox for that, which is pretty rare these days since I have a secondhand Win7 Box, dedicated to my MT4 terminals, where I run my two missing Windows programs.
PS: I don't normally run windows programs on Linux, what I preferably do is look for Linux programs that perform the same task, so 99% of my Desktop work is handled by a native Linux program.
Hi guys I only trade manually with this strategy so I do not know how to apply this strategy to Toolbox dash v10 so that it can trigger trade when arrow from MACD appear after Ball4 or semafor colour blue appear.
I only use colour semafour blue of Ball4 to get signal.
I only use Ball4 from colour Blue from semafour to get good signal after B4 and colour blue appear I wait an arrow from MACD, another colours from balls4 I ignore them.
FOR me 15 MIN is good for Me or 1 Hour.

Thank you that's very helpful. That is certainly a long boot up which I haven't experienced. I now run two machines with 8Gb and 32Gb on Windows 10 potentially for testing and live although also using Tradestation on the latter I shall not be running any more than six instances of S9 and MT4 at any one time. I did at one time go crazy with ten instances using just the 8Gb and not surprisingly found CPU maxed @ 90% most of the time. That was pushing it. I haven't tried Linux but have heard many good things about it. All the best
So far first test with v6 doing OK with these settings, which were based on ones posted by Earle, its almost like a scalper. {image} {image}

I am not sure what to make of this and probably not worth a great deal of analysis as I am finding that generally we are getting the same trades opened by the DB on different brokers. This may be a user error here however I haven't worked it out yet nevertheless two current log files below one with AUDCHF BUY triggered and the other without although Cycle Trader had Ball 3 present in both instances.

To me I think it must be a timing thing, those logs show the TS did not trigger a trade for some reason. Don't forget the balls repaint, so could have painted the balls after the event maybe!

That box is only used to described whatever you want, not to create triggers. That description sounds like the Cycle_TS v6 which is not available yet.
