Just checked out paltalk ... looks really good. Maybe if I wasn't so intrenched in using skype I would use it. But I've got lots of contacts on skype already and involved with other groups in forex and outside so I will have to stay with skype ... it would be instant messaging though.

Thanks stratman for your reply, I was watching the time below the chart window, my poor thinking.

Hi Stratman, the dashboard looks great and I am looking forward to use it soon. I am just about to install it now on Windows7. Have had a little break from trading partly to sort my computers.Great idea about poss skype room.
Many thanks for your hard work and for sharing.
Kind regards,

Hi Hauimie

I have a version of IBFX MT4 installed too and it works fine with Dashboard v4 with broker time zone is set at "0". I seem to recall there being problems with deviations of time synch between system time and the broker server time. Can you check to see that your system time is in synch? I use a free application called Symmtime which auto-synchs the time and also serves as a world clock (though the Dashboard does that too)..

Hi Stratman

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering what the significance of the news impact colour settings was in DBv4? Is it supposed to leave some kind of indication on the DB itself?

Also I'd be interested to hear if anybody else running MT4 on ODL Markets at GMT+0 is getting the same problem as me. You'll notice on the chart example here I'm getting lots of zeros in the pip count columns. The numbers actually appear quite erratic whenever I change timeframe they will settle at values before jumping around and back to zero. Weird.

Thank you so much stratman.

I've just bought this wonderful thing at this miniminimini price. I think that it's worth much more than 50$. I've just started trading live with a 500€ acc exploring fear and greed on my own at a maximum risk of 1%/trade. For the first months I aim for 20 pips/day.

After I first time put the DB on my chart the news rows just showed "--". If anyone else has this issue restart MT and everything should work.

I will report my experiences with THV+DB here so everybody can see how it helps getting a better and easier look for the markets.

Keep up the good work stratman. Also thank you for the videos. Most things I already knew but it was good to hear these basics explained that good from you again.

Cheers,
Philipp

Go into the DB settings and set the Debug Panel to true (as done in my chart shown below) then take a snapshot of your debug chart and post it here. There may be something in the debug info that betrays your problem to somebody who knows how to read it (that'll be Stratman ;o) ).

Thanks HammerNail,
I've been encountering exactly the same problem. I emailed Stratman and he got back to me to say he was looking into it (thanks again Stratman). I'm on Alpari UK +1 broker offset and the problem only seems to happen on market open on Sunday evening and then persists through until close on Tuesday. After that the columns seem to sort themselves out.

Hi Stratman & HammerNail,
As you can see, I have simmilar problems with pips count as you. This screen shot is from yesterday, but similar thing happened on Friday as well. I'm running Jade Investments platform with broker time @ GMT+1.
Today seems to be OK. Stratman, sorry for bringing this problem again, but is there a chance that you could look into it and help us solving it? I'll much appreciate it. Thank you in advance. All the best.

Yes, i noticed the same bug with the pip counting, i use Alpari for my db.
I'm sure it will be fixed.
I use the db for a while and completely used to it now. It helps me to make pips day in day out, it's even better then i had expected

There is another thing that I've spotted. See attached pics for reference. Strange number is 'blinking' staggered with spread value. It seems like it's calculating days and hours left to candle close, is it? Please confirm.

As was commented by HammerNail ... this can be a problem because your local computer time.

Let me explain. It is possible to see the correct local time on your computer but have it reported incorrectly on the dashboard if you don't have the

'Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes'


ticked in your computer date and time properties. Double-click your computer clock and check the timezone tab.

That's something I'm working on. The idea will be to have the 'impact' color as per forex factory.

Also had a good suggestion from scrutch. Have the time change color as we get closer to news time ... even flash when within 5 minutes (or adjustable time period).

I could make alerts but I hate annoying popup boxes that you have to click. Might even have an audible warning that news is soon.

I am seeing '0's as well

I am desperately trying to get over my pc and code loss issues mentioned in a previous post so I can sort this out.

I suggest using Version 3.02 if this prob continues after next daily open. I feel very embarrassed about this situation

There seems to be an error with 'FileWriteString' on some pcs. This can affect the news readout.

Can people who experience this problem please post what operating system you have and broker so I can figure out what may be wrong (I am not having this problem)

Yes am working hard on this.

Some background ... most people use daily candles for Average Daily Range which is crap if you want them calculated different to your broker ie you have GMT+5 broker but want ADR calculated GMT+0 then H4 or D1 candles can't be used.

To be as accurate as possible for all brokers, I use H1 candles for the calculation. This is complicated by the fact that we have short days over the weekend and also most broker clocks freeze at the clock time.
