Thanks for the update Carl. Looks like zero (0) is the top slot and 13 is the bottom slot.

And when I loaded the 10-13-2008_AL.csv file directly into excel, Excel must lock the file because the program kicked out "unable to write to locked file" error in message boxes.

So if you want to view that file, first load in Notepad, copy file contents, close Notepad, then paste the text into excel and split newly pasted text into columns by the comma delimiter.

Edit: this update is very helpful - now we have a way to track what the currencies are doing in relation to each other over time and how often they change position!!

If you want to view the file, just right mouse drag it on the Explore window and it will create a file with 'copy of' in the name. And just double click on that file to open it in Excel.

I think the slot numbers you are storing for EURJPY, EURUSD, USDJPY and AUDUSD may be wrong.

I think there may still be a problem with alerts. Mine were working ok but have now stopped. I presume whenever there is a new anchor message in the description column we should get an audible alert. I haven't changed anything in the monitor settings since I started.

Yup, all I do is copy it to my desktop, then double click on it, and it opens up in excel automatically. You don't need to go through the notepad.

No. Read the description of the alert. It will alert when there is an opposing pair. In other words, if there is a green pair in the top slot, and a red pair takes it over, there will be an alert. Or vise versa.

There will not be an alarm if a green pair overtakes another green pair.

That was what Julius was describing in his "displacement of pairs" strategy. Then if both top and bottom get displaced by opposite pairs, there is a good chance that a change in trend is occuring.

Great catch Barcode...

The slots were mixed up a bit in the logger code...

Fixed for 20a version. Only the zip file is "a" version. Please replace the first version 20 exe with this new build of version 20.

To Carl and to all your readers,
There has been posts that ask about the universal pairing that will replace the existing pairs that we have. On Orest thread i have expressed my view about this and i think we should make a hard decision here. My views are here.

Julius,
Yes, I agree. And, it shall be done. I will remove the Original Version after approximately 1 week (just in case something drastic happens).

I'm not a coder and don't now if this is possible, but can you make it to show the price of the currenyes, I think it wiil be usefull to know at what point of time the price has been.It will give us a more acurate way of back testing.

I'm running Vista.

When I ran MT4 in normal mode, it didn't make any csv files. So I hade to run it in admin mode. THen it made the csv files.

Also tried to run the monitor in Admin mode, didn't work.

It could be an admin/Vista problem though.
I am running vista and everything is fine. If you are running vista the .csv files wind up in

C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\<you MT4 install directory>\experts\files

Why and how they ever came up with this one who knows

Would it be possible to have a log timer for the Active Logger? Instead of 1 minute, we could select 5m, 10m or 15m etc.

It's the way bar closes are in Metatrader.
Your problem is you are compairing apples to oranges when it comes to timeframe closing values.

I really don't know how to explain it except to show it to you...

These are the same:
The close of 10/21/2008 0400 (4 hour bar)
The close of 10/21/2008 0700 (1 hour bar)

the close of the 0400 bar is the same as 0800 (on a 4 hour bar)
the close of the 0700 bar is the same as 0800 (on a 1 hour bar)

It takes some getting used to... I know.

Inside the ver.20 zip file there is the Date Save Indicator V1a but you mentioned to install V2a; I was just wondering if what is included in the zip for ver 20 is correct.

The Data Save Indicator v1a is for IBFX pairs (now same as Universal pairs).

The Data Save Indicator v2a is for the Original Pairs (which included CADJPY and USDCAD. CADJPY is not available from IBFX).

So, yes it is correct.
