Could you code this indicator when both of the rules are met? Like Laura suggests. Currently we get a lot of alerts for main and sub window and there are too many alerts.

We get a short entry signal when the following rules are met:

1. Red MA above Green MA on main chart and daylight exists between them.
2. Price closes below Green MA on main chart.
3. Red MA above Blue MA in sub-window and daylight exists between them.
Anything above the line is an uptrend, below the line is a downtrend.

{quote} Does anyone else find their platform freezes when this is installed?
It may happen, because it's loading quite a bit of instruments & pulling values for each, so depending on your rig and what other kind of charts / indis you have loaded, it can consume a bit of ressources.

On my side it's fine, but if you find that it freezes too much you can reduce the number of instruments monitored, so instead of using the "From Marketwatch" option, just use the list and put in the pairs you want monitored.

I have also installed a specific MT4 instance just for that, so that I can switch between my trading platform (MT4), and the alert one.

So can you edit it? And add push notifications.

Thank you.

Hi Barraka,

There is an issue with the dashboard always displaying one more pair than is selected in the Market Watch window. Are you sure it is looping for the correct number and checking for 'selected' pairs only? I always get one more at the end (next one in sequence alphabetically) to what I actually have selected in Market Watch.
Also, would you mind making all the label objects 'hidden' from the object list please? It gets cluttered with too many items which the user would not need to select or modify.

Thanks, Paul.

Hi,

If you get too many alerts, you can:
- Choose a higher timeframe
- Reduce the number of instruments monitored by modifying the list
- Reduce the options and only get alerted when there is a sub-window cross & daylight. You'll find that on Standard mode, the MAs are nearly always in line when the cross happens. With the Aggro mode, you'll just have to monitor the pair individually to know when it closes above / below.

Also, by the looks of your requests, you might find it easier to use my other indicator "WPR" that I posted. You'll have specific signals (on aggro) when the bar closes above or below. Also, it has push notifications enabled.

So you could:
- Apply the "WPR" indicator on several charts that you want to monitor, and you'll have your alerts & push.
- Still use the Daylight dashboard, and when you get a signal on a pair, you can open that chart & place the "WPR" to get a specific signal.

Many ways to play around with the tools, really.
Finally, if you're using Standard, I'd suggest you look back at the signals (arrows) provided by the "WPR". You'll find that 95%+ of the times, when you get a sub-window cross + daylight, the chart MAs are already in place. And the signals from the dashboard are actually the same (would have been alerted in real time), so there is no real issue actually.

Regards,

Hi Paul,

I have also found this odd behavior as I was first testing it. You should find the culprits at the bottom of your Market Watch list:

For example here EURGBP, it's grayed out. So in that case you'd want to first remove the indicator, then delete that symbol (Select it, press Delete), and launch the Dashboard again.

Let me know if this fixes the issue.

Hi,

No, I've tried various things to eliminate it, including as you suggested above, but the spurious symbol is still listed. I use MT4 and do not see greyed out symbols in market watch, only those I've selected to be in there.

Thanks,Paul.

Strange. Try this:
- Remove the Dashboard. If you had placed it on multiple charts, remove them all. If you have other indis / dashboards, such as scanners and such, remove them too.
- Save your Market Watch list (right click ==> sets ==> save as).
- Make sure your Market Watch is clean & with only the pairs that you want.
- Apply the Dashboard again.

If this fails, the next best thing is simply to edit the "list" setting, and manually put in all the pairs that you would like displayed. You only have to do this once, since you can then save the Dashboard settings (save as Preset). And of course, instead of "From Market Watch" option, you choose "From list".

I've improved a few things on the dashboard, so releasing the version "2.1" of it (which you will find on the first post).

The main addition is that you now have a mutli-timeframe view for each pair. The dashboard displays the next 3 higher timeframes to the chart it is attached on.
Here is what it looks like:

On the right, the 3 columns show the MTF view, of the slow MA on the %R indicator. This is our overall htf bias. It corresponds to the red line:

So when the dashboard shows green, the red line is above -50. When it shows red, it is below.

The point is to have a quick view to see if / how many of the HTFs are in agreement. And you can quickly see, if you're taking a daylight or midline cross setup, if you're going with or against the overall momentum.

The other modification is that you now have 3 options as to what the Dashboard displays :

The first 2 are the same as the previous dashboard. The last one displays only the midline information & crosses:

So it really depends what kind of version or "rules" you're following with the Daylight strategy.
The other settings are standard:

If you choose alerts as "true", you will have the corresponding alerts (Standard, aggressive, or midline).

Thanks for your efforts Barraka. Sadly it has crashed on two different instances of MT4 with the following settings.

Hi Paul,

Strange, if it works on the default and not on the one you posted... Can you have a look at the "Experts" tab, and after removing the indi you re-attach it with the settings that didn't seem to work. There may be some message there.

Thanks,

Hi,

What timezone are you in? It could be an issue of one of your instruments not being open yet. Also, could you have a look at the "Experts" tab, and see if you see something?

Thanks,

Those signals seem to be related to the midline cross, and are all fine. Make sure you have the correct settings, in your case choose "Display only midline crosses" as false if that's not what you want.

BTW, this is the thread related to the dashboard

I'll have a look later. Upon clicking OK to the parameter selections it shows the hourglass and terminal is immediately unresponsive. Not sure if I'll be able to get at any details printed in the output...

If modified a bit the dashboard on my initial post. Could you try that, and also if it's eating up too many ressources, instead of using "From Market Watch", try using "From user defined list", and put it a few pairs that you want to follow.

Since it's doing a MTF analysis, it can be quite demanding on you PC, also depending on how much memory it has, etc.
