I'm stuck at step 6, when the program run, the error message display "File opening error" the CCY.csv could not opened. How to fix it?

That means your quote files have not been created. Attach the indicator to a chart.
Or if just one or two of those messages come up, then you are missing some pairs. Make sure all 14 of the pairs are available (you can see them) in your MT4.

Leomeister,
Yes, I've got that on the top of my list. As I'm looking at it, when I'm not programming, I noticed it is not easy to tell which pairs are going where. That is kind of why I started the log. But, you have great recommendations.

I'll definitely get to those as I have time. I will also provide an audio alert eventually.

Thanks for your feedback.

Carl

Crodzilla,
Great trading tool--thanks for developing it. I'm still figuring out the subtleties of the Trader 101 trading method so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.

Could some adjustments on the graphics aid the trader in seeing a clear trade signal? For example if anchor pairs are set for a previous period could they be given a darker red or green so at a glance they contrast with other pairs and one could easier see their movement in the ranking? If I understand Trader101's trade signals the movement of these are significant as they move towards the opposite end of the list.

A second visual cue might be for secondary shorter trades of single pairs. I find it gets confusing to track the movement of same color pairs as they jump up and down in ranking. Perhaps a pair could be highlighted if it's moved more more than two slots and has stayed there for a certain period of time? If a set of conditions is met the pair to be traded could be listed on the right with a Buy or Sell next to them with price at time of notice.

Well, just some brainstorming. Others might have a better idea of key trade triggers that could be highlighted by visual graphics.

Thanks again for your work.

Hey Carl

Compliments again 4 this great work.

I read in some post that maybe u could implement the option of Hourly variations and not only - lik it is now - day per day-

In my opinion it would be great!
I can only double that. Choosing exact time of a day would be very helpful to test this system around certain market (US, Asia) open hours etc.

Thanks for you generous contribution Carl!

Hi Crod,

Thanks for this wonderful program, will be useful trading the T101 system.

Hopefully you will introduce pair selection so that the original pair selection can be used by other than ibfx.

While you are taking suggestions, it might be useful to have a column against each pair showing the time they moved into that position with an arrow as to whether the jump was from an upper or lower slot. This will help to decide whether that pair is tradeable at any point of time based on when it jumped the slot.

Thanks once again for the great program.

Sorry for the confusion. I must correct what I said earlier.
All dates are based on the close of that day, probably GMT 2359.

So, if you start the program and choose the current day, it thinks that close of the current day is when you opened the program.

So, if you want to start looking at the London open, just start the program before the London open and choose the current day. You will see the results, referenced from the time you started the program.

I am going to add a "Reload" button so you can update the current day data and not have to restart the program.

Thanks for your feedback, and the props.
It is much appreciated.

Carl,

Thanks for the software. Q - To launch the program, do u always have to go to windows explorer, experts/files - is there any way of launching directly from mt4?

Just create a shortcut to your desktop. Go to expert\files directory and right-click on the exe file and select Create Shortcut. Then move the shortcut file to your desktop.

Post of latest T101 external to MT4 windows program.

Go back to my post from the T101 thread here: T101 Thread

Based on the 14 IBFX pairs designated by T101 here:http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...3&postcount=51

1. The pairs are the 14 IBFX pairs designated by T101. You must have those available.
2. Put the indicator in the /indicators directory.
3. Start your Metatrader.
4. Attach indicator to a busy chart. It will create data files in your Metatrader /experts/files directory.
5. Copy the program (.exe) into the /experts/files directory.
6. Run it.
7. Select a reference date.
8. Check the Realtime box.
9. Continue to play. Watch, read more of this thread/T101 thread.
10. Report any problems and get updates to the program here.

***New version 10 as of 9/30/2008 - 1400 EST
-Filters anchor position changing by only logging when pips differ by more than 5 pips.
I've attached the indicator to a busy chart on two seprate platforms, both IBFX and ODL, yet neither of the indicators create history files at all. What step am I overlooking? I've carefully followed what you outlined here, yet I can't seem to get the indicator to create excel files like it should be.

Same problem on different computer as well. I'm not sure why?

So far very nice implementing indicators into exe file but iam not sure about one thing:

You can see only one day history, but t101 said that you should have at least 2-3days data to achieve accurate trading. it would be nice to have option to see data for last 2days (or 3, one week) in one currency chart.

Thanks

Carl,

Thanks for this software and also the suggestion that we can us multiple instances.

Is it possible to have an instance that runs off the 4 hour insteadof just the daily?

Bruce
How about an even more refined setup/startup capability, such as down to the hour and even minute?

Very good work, indeed.

Did you run the .exe in Files folder?

Yes, it just comes up with can't find xxx.csv. The problem is the indicator isn't creating this .csv files for me on any computer I attach it too. I've attached it to very busy chart and seen over 100 ticks of data yet every platform the indicator is attached to has yet to create any of the csv sheets. I've tried fooling around with the setting and even attaching it to a brand new platform on a recently reinstalled windows so there wasn't even any other files on the computer besides metatrader. No dice. Same problems... no history files are created by the indicator so natrually the .exe says "can't find xxx.csv" since it isn't making them.

edit: Added two pictures to show you just how my platform looks after 20+ minutes of tick data. As you can see now .csv files are created. The screenshot is for a MIG platform, but the IBFX, ODL and FXDD ones all look exactly the same.

No. But you could right-click and drag the program from the files directory to your desktop to "create a shortcut" to your desktop.

Thanks for uploading screenshots. Easy to diagnose:

That is because your .exe file has to be IN the FILES directory. Open the FILES directory, all will be there. I can see it in your screenshot. If I can see the FILES directory that means you are not in there. If the .exe was in your files directory, it will see all the csv files.

Thank you, they are there... wow... I thought we were just putting the .exe in the experts file folder not the Expert/files.... now I feel silly.

Thanks much!

Does the time of day end the same time as IBFX servers? So Oct. 1st 2008 would have just started 46 or so minutes ago.
