Dear HeroKato,
First, I allowed 2 URL addresses that EA require and I do not see any error message about that anymore.
However, my EA icon is always upset, not smiling. 
Second, how can I define custom Patterns without changing existing one.
It will be better to have an opportunity.
Third, what is the purpose of the --- D ---, as it is almost zero for every pattern.
I understand that --- D 2nd --- is valid for the last point of the patterns?
Could you please make technical and detailed explanation?
Fourth, you perfectly draw especially the XA impulse according to fractals.
How it is possible to draw according to only waves, since you can also draw zigzags pretty fine.
As I attached 5 screenshots which is the 5 variations of the "same pattern" based on fractals.
The last one again is based on fractals or the wave, which is correct one for me.
The major drawback is that, when I benchmark old completed patterns with this EA (particularly for pairs that I previously know which patterns fit best for them), the accuracy of the patterns is totally biased and wrong.
I want to make an accurate benchmark and then if you would like, I share the knowledge with you.
I just do not want see those 5 anymore on chart and on dashboard anymore by marking or unmarking them.
This is the most important aspect.
Fifth, it would be very good to have an opportunity to only list the patterns that needs x pips (e.g.,100) for completion.
Sixth, what is the purpose of the save button.
How can I only show the saved patterns in the dashboard ?
When I save a pattern, sometimes later the saved label turns to unsaved but it still appears on the chart.
This feature is essential and could be used to fix the fifth issue.
Finally, after closing mt4 then opening it, all settings of the EA resets to default.
For example, if some patterns selected for a chart, this setting is not persistent after reopening mt4.

Best solution for this problem for the sake of simplicity, as I previous stated that allowing user to unmark patters which are wrong according to users knowledge.
After resetting the chart, they will not show even on the charts and accuracy calculations.

Save button does not work.

{quote} I figured out that D stands for min & max BD wave. But you do not care that. I also do not care, so no problem
Sorry for the late reply @fxbender , here there are some clarifications about all you asked, let me know what you think
-"First, I allowed 2 URL addresses that EA require and I do not see any error message about that anymore.

Smile doesn't matter, because it's related to Orders, since Polygon doesn't place orders it doesn't matter.
-"Second, how can I define custom Patterns without changing existing one.

Not you can't , polygon works with all the infos you input in EA Properties. However i do have a variation of Polygon which i use to calculate statistics that reads all the patterns from a file that you can easily make.
-"Third, what is the purpose of the --- D ---, as it is almost zero for every pattern.
I understand that --- D 2nd --- is valid for the last point of the patterns?
Could you please make technical and detailed explanation?"
The purpose is to have a secondary D point avaiable to see on screen just for easier view, software calculates the first one but still lets you see second
-"Fourth, you perfectly draw especially the XA impulse according to fractals.
How it is possible to draw according to only waves, since you can also draw zigzags pretty fine.

Patterns are calculated on ZigZags, not fractals. i do remember that zigzags are calculated on all the timeframes you enabled.
-"The major drawback is that, when I benchmark old completed patterns with this EA (particularly for pairs that I previously know which patterns fit best for them), the accuracy of the patterns is totally biased and wrong."
The main problem is that your way to " I previously know which patterns fit best for them" is probably different from how the software really works inside.
if you don't have the same engine , the same way to find all the patters obviously result will change.
For example i could simply swap ZigZag indicator and have new results totally different from what i have. And if you compare manual finding to an automated software , well , the difference is huge because software finds all the minimal possibilities that a human might not even see.
-"I want to make an accurate benchmark and then if you would like, I share the knowledge with you."
I'm writing a new software, from scratch and on a reliable professional platform called QuantConnect because unfortunately i've seen many discrepancies between Polygon Statistics Benchmarking and Live Automated Trading.
That is why i'm creating a new software that will gather all the possible statistics and this time will be on a decent platform.
-"I just do not want see those 5 anymore on chart and on dashboard anymore by marking or unmarking them.

There is no feature and probably i won't code it
-"Fifth, it would be very good to have an opportunity to only list the patterns that needs x pips (e.g.,100) for completion."
Patterns are already auto sorted with pips for completion. I know dashboard really is not the best but the best thing to do so far is to enable and disable buttons in order to see what you want.
-"Sixth, what is the purpose of the save button.

Save button saves the pattern on screen, unfortunately if one of the points (excluded D) changes pattern will be considered new.
You cant show saved patterns on dashboard, its a feature meant just to have it on screen easily
-"

I know and probably won't save user inputs, as it would require too much time.
in the end there are just 5-6 important buttons

Storing only which patterns and TF enabled would require too much time? Could you please think once more ? It will be better.
You can all change everything from the buttons on main screen (everything is near timeframe buttons)
I do have tons of data BUT as i said before, i'm worried about discrepancies between Benchmarking and live trading.
Because i noticed that the behaviour from EA to BENCHMARK is different in some cases.
Even though the algoritm is the same between those two softwares , i do not know why those two performs differently. that's why i'm creating a new software on a more reliable platform, because yes MT4 is a bitch.
This is an example of data about Gartley Pattern, with slightly different values from defaults:
And this is a screen of the new software which i'm still coding right now (super early stage):
Polygon does already store patterns based on Timeframe selected and Also on "Live - Old - Pending" states. You can all change everything from the buttons on main screen (everything is near timeframe buttons)
This is my current settings. When I restart MT4, all settings resets.

In my previous post, I have asked a question about zigzag ?

Ive come to a point with a good balance of performance and accuracy
