Currency Strength Dashboard

I have developed this dashboard for my style of trading Strong 'vs' Weak using this dashboard to identify the Strong 'vs' Weak currencies.

When I have identified the pairs to trade, the principle is to only trade in the direction of a Trend Bias and using a combination of indicators to generate Weighted Trade Signals in the direction of the Trend Bias and Weighted Reversal signals if in the opposite direction of the Trend Bias. More information here: Trend Bias and Weighted Trade Signals Trading Tools | Forex Factory

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. This dashboard has been set-up on a 27" Monitor with a 2K resolution (2560 x 1440).
2. There are a 38 charts and your MT4 may slow down. I have multiple trading PC's and use a dedicated PC for this dashboard (i5, 2.21Ghz, 8GB Ram, Win 10 64-bit) with no performance issues

You can take the concept behind this dashboard, the templates and indicates provided to develop and use for your own style of trading.

Please Note: I do not provide any advice on opening or closing positions or how and when to trade using this dashboard or any other indicator signals.

How to Set-up your currency strength dashboard
Please note you will need to know how to open charts, resize them, create profiles and load templates to charts.

 

1. Copy the indicators and templates to your MT4 folders
2. Download the TDesk indicators and copy to the correct MT4 folders
3. There are 37 visible charts and 1 minimized chart
4. I have included a blank template (#Empty One.tpl) which I suggest you save as your default template, when you open the 38 charts they will all be blank and ready for the templates to be loaded
5. Open the charts sizing and positioning as per the screenshot
   1. For the first 4 rows I open the charts with a currency pair for that currency
   2. For the bottom row I use XAUUSD

   
   
   
   
   

6. You should have 38 charts open 1 one chart to be minimized for the TDesk Slope.tpl
7. Load each template in the appropriate chart, they will load without the borders and captions hidden, this will allow you to resize charts if required
8. When all templates are loaded and you are happy with the size and position of the charts you can remove the borders and captions as follows:
9. Open the indicator list for each chart
10. Edit indicator: ModChartWindow
    1. HideCaption = True
    2. HideBorder = True

    
    
    
    
    

11. The 16 CSS xxx templates when load may show the currency slope strength overlapped or blurred, if this happens you have to delete all objects in that chart
12. Save your charts as a profile

Foot Note
I enjoy programming and creating dashboards, I hope you find them useful and remember I will not offer any advice on opening and closing positions or how to use indicators I have not written myself, there is plenty of information on each indicator from traders who are have years more experience than me.

The 16 Daily Change xxx.tpl for jpy is not working. Are Steeve Hopewood indicators paid?
Thanks for sharing this masterpiece, it is really very beautiful and useful.

Hi Caster, thanks for the feedback.

I have updated post with the corrected 16 Daily Change JPY.tpl template.

A quick fix is to open this template and load the following indicators:
1. TimeFX_CS_Daily_Percantage_Change - Selecting JPY
2. ModChartWindow


TDesk is not a paid for indicator.

TimeFX

Fix to 16 Daily Change JPY.tpl has been made and Post 1 Download has been updated.

To fix manually follow these steps:
1. Open the 16 Daily Change JPY.tpl template
1. Load indicator: TimeFX_CS_Daily_Percantage_Change - Selecting JPY as the currency
2. Load indicator: ModChartWindow

I'm still working on this indicator (TimeFX_CS_Daily_Percantage_Change) and presenting the data.

I hate RAR files, any chance to zip them up using plain simple Windows way?

Thanks

I am very happy that you shared your way of trading. Good job.

Great to see you adapting the charts and your trading results.

TimeFX.

Post 1 updated with a ZIP file just for you Erebus.

TimeFX

Thanks, mate, I'll get on it now

I downloaded yet another RAR app, it opens the files but then I couldn't do anything with them

I just don't understand that crap file, sorry

@ timefx

Is it possible to run the Chart 1 setup on its own or does everything have to be open?

I just wanted to use the Slope function of Tdesk as per Chart 1.

I double-checked all the correct files in the right folders, quite a task over on SHF.

Screenshot of the 2 charts / templates provided; Only 1 indicator per Template, is that right?

Thanks,

Hi Erebus, the TDesk charts are independent in this dashboard set-up and I like to have the combined Slope view as well.

A few TDesk Tips:

1. TDesk receives signals from open charts, this dashboard uses a single chart to send signals to TDesk
2. Headings are clickable: If your click on the Heading "Solo Signal" it will expand the chart and show Slope signals for each time frame
3. You can filter the chart view by clicking on a currency to only see the values for that currency
4. In the expert options you can add a default chart to open when click on the ">>" after a currency pair
5. I have switched off some settings in the expert to hide charts options which appear at the bottom of the chart

TDesk is a very powerful tool and takes some time to get your head around it, here is a screen shot of a TDesk 1hr dashboard where signals are sent from the open charts.

TimeFX

Great, thanks, got it I think, it's an EA of course!

I don't need the Slope chart, I have a good strength indicator, just wanted to see the confirmation of that dashboard.

I have been on SHF off and on, I know they can get carried away with the intricacy of details of programming, etc.

I'll read up a bit more on TDesk

So, what you see of the previous screenshots, nothing missing from those Templates?

This is what I have now, I believe it confirms the huge CAD weakness I was seeing at the end of Friday

Hi Erebus, all looks good to me.

The dashboard helps me see the strong and week currencies and TDesk helps to confirm this.

I've updated the Daily % Change Indicator and fixed the spelling mistake to send signals to TDesk for Strong or Weak currency pairs based on % daily change.

Here is how it looks and I will update post 1 later with the indicator after a few more tests. First Solo Signal column SvW in TDesk shows if the currency pair is strong or weak based on the Daily % Change.


The indicator now has input parameters for Positive Change and Negative Change values. If the Daily % Change is above the Positive Change value it's LONG, if the Daily % Change is below the Negative Change value is SHORT, if Daily % Change is in between it's FLAT.

TimeFX

I took this very early Monday, seems to be a confluence, nothing that I would trade just now, only checking

JPY is weak but that can and probably will during the week.

Now it's about 10 am London, NZD doing its thing, better watch or it will end up like Goner MacGregor
