Ok. Whew!

New version 17 has a new alerts options window. You can turn text/audio alerts on and off by checking the check box. On=checked, Off=not checked.

By checking an alert box, a file menu will popup asking you to select a sound (wav) file you would like played when that alert is activated. If you would only like text only in the logger for that alert just cancel the file menu, and you will have "silent alerts."

So, by checking a box and selecting a wav file, you will get alerts every time that event happens. The exception is the pair in a certain slot. When a pair gets to a certain slot, the alert will occur, but then that event will uncheck the box automatically. Otherwise you will get an alert for every second that pair is in that slot. You can change the pair or slot at any time.

I added the buy/sell power metrics, to my own curiosity. You judge for yourself if they are of any use. I don't know yet.

As one user has already pointed out, the position of the pairs and the reference bias is a real good indication of direction.

Please test, and give my any feedback you feel appropriate.
Thanks.

Carl

PS. This is for the Original Pairs only. I'll have the IBFX version available soon.
Hi Carl,

I have the problem with the system when i apply into the mt4 with fixed currency such as ending with FXF, but for the standard demo was no problem.

The mt4 with fixed cuurency will no allow me to select the date drop box. Any solution for this. I'm currently using Forex.Com Gain Capital Group MT4 platform.

Please advice.
Thanks.

Great work Carl.

This is an excellent addition to the trading T101 style arsenal.

Tremendous effort on your part, There must be at least a few hundred hours of programming there.

Very much appreciated.

"The Basket Bias is all currency movement added together"
Basket Bias is supposed to be the sum of the IA trade ... correct.
The IBFX version shows it that way ....

Ummm .....

or is it just to early to be playing with the calculator ???.

Cdavid ,you are a programmers dream. This type of exercise and input is exactly would one needs to iron out bugs and implement suggestions.
I've done now the same type of test using V13.0 and V15a ibfx mini and the numbers match so it seems there is a bug in version 17a.

Absolutely, there is a bug. Thank you for catching that. As Pipo said, that is the kind of inputs I like. Please, put a calculator to the metrics. I have over 2000 lines of code in each of the 2 different versions. Sometimes things get changed that aren't supposed to, etc., etc.

The Basket Bias calculation is fixed. Please update to version 17b, from post #1

Carl,

Thanks for sharing your wonderful program.
I just want to know is it possible/advisable to put the indicator on more than 1 pair?
I understand that you mentioned we have to put the indicator on an active pair so the real data can be capture by your indicator, however there will be time for this pair (where the indicator is attached) is not active. So to make sure the indicator gets the data tick by tick all the time, can i put the indicator on several pairs?

Thanks for your kindness

Phoenix

I don't think it will hurt anything. Just keep in mind, the more pairs you put the indicator on, the more active your hard drive is going to be.

The indicator will write the real-time ticks for all applicable pairs for each chart you put the indicator on.

Not dumb, just a repeat question. Blame that one on MT4. As long as you have CHFJPY available in your MT4, you need to force it to download historical data.

1. Open up the daily chart of CHFJPY.
2. Remove (if already attached to a chart), then re-attach the data save indicator to an active chart.
3. Restart the monitor.
4. You should be good to go.

Hi Carl,

Would you take a peek at that zip file in post #1 for the IBFX version? It looks like it has the original IA Monitor rather than the IBFX monitor. When I ran it it was looking for the USDCAD and CADJPY pairs.

Hi,

Any Idea what is wrong?We don't have Cad/Jpy in IBFX.

Thanks

Hi Carl,

Another improvement, I think... Below and Above the anchor pairs... could we have the the maximum pip movement, so if GU is +500 and then drops to +400, then we know the maximum movement for the anchor pair at it peak is +500 pips and the same for negative.

If the anchor position gets changed, it does not matter too much, as the new anchor pair will have to surpass +500 pips to show a continuing selling pressure cause at the moment, we cannot see what the maximum pip movement is for the anchor pair.

Hope this makes sense.

Same problem here Carl, so it looks like you mixed up on uploading. I do this all the time; drives me nuts trying to keep tabs on different versions of the same program.

Thanks for your efforts.

Yea, what a dummy I am. On the screenshot it says (Original) as the version instead of IBFX. My bad.

I replaced the file on post #1.

Thanks.

Well,
The next big update is coming soon. I've decided to make the multi-timeframe version for IBFX first. Here is a screenshot. I'm modeling the timeframe usage as per how Julius uses that spreadsheet.

Steve, This is really starting to suck, updating 2 different versions...

I really sympathise. Sounds like it is time to combine the two and force us users to chose the pairs combination we need according to our broker.

Trouble is, we both know what will happen then. Hey ho.

Anyway, the latest is up and running and doing its thing. I am ever so grateful.

Cheers Carl

Would it be easier for you to make an option in the program to switch between broker pairs rather than make two separate versions?
