Thanks Stratman for the updated version 4.01, which also show the Asian session at the beginning of the trading day.
His chart v6.2 now includes TDI indicator display. For those who like to know more can read the pdf attached.
I have attached my screen setup with 3 minichart displaying on the left of the screen, so window 1 can have a longer indicator display. Template attached for those interest (you need to have minichart V3).

I don't see any news on dashboard 4.01,I think that's why 3.02 working good for me.
if I can turn off the news option manually maybe this problem will be solved.

Thanks for your support and waiting for your replay.

So you don't see any news? ie on the dashboard?

Maybe I need an option to turn off news. This may help?

Stratman,
I have a longer-term strategy that I use for my regular trading, but I purchased your DB just last night (for me) as a way of maybe scalping while I'm waiting for my other trades to set up. Just wanted you to know I got +23 pips on my first two trades with it! And actually, that was just a fraction of what was available, but so far, I'm got a "scalpers mentality" when trying it until I get better at using it. Thanks for all your excellent work!!

Possibly something I can look at for the future.

Right now, I'm reprogramming the whole alert scheme of the dashboard. It's taking a lot of effort but will be worth it for any future alerts I want to add.

Stratman,

For new DB versions can you add an alert before a fractal break out happens. This way We don't have to chase 10 pair one by one as the alert will tell us which one may break. If possible, can you add with the alert from which time frame we want the alert. For example, I would like an alert on 15Min time frame when price get close to 10-15 pips or whatever number we like. Put an input field for the pips before the fractal break out happens and for the time frame We want the alert from.


Thanks

The way the news is done right now is using the methods in the FFCal indicator. I can definitely make improvements on this.

The main issue with this way of doing news is that a file needs downloaded from the internet for every symbol and timeframe combination that you open. This is quite resource intensive and can be prone to the problems you are experiencing.

After finishing the alert system changes, I will look at improving the whole news module.

Hi Stratman

Last Monday morning I noticed no news on DB. I switched to M15 and back to M5 timeframe and this fixed the problem. This morning I had the same issue and tried to switch timeframe to fix it but doesn't work today. I get news on M15 or higher but not on M15. This happens with all pairs that I watch.

You understand the DB well . I made the dashboard as a tool to be used with many strategies. A bit like the dashboard of a car ie how the car is driven depends on the driver .. how aggressive etc but all drivers, who drive the same model car (eg MT4) have the same dashboard.

Yes, i think it's a good option. I noticed it makes the loading time longer then usual and it uses of course more resources.
With that option, i can turn on the news on only one chart instead of all charts.

I've been giving this a lot of thought

Best solution would show news on all charts but with very low resource use.

My current thought is to have a separate indicator that would be added to only one chart. This indicator would get the news file from the internet and process it. It will create internal memory variables to be accessed by the dashboard on other charts.

Also, any news alerts ie pop-up boxes should only be generated from the new indicator.

3 instances of daylight saving changes that may occur

locations in the dash rows
Adjust the setting 'pw.hours.GnnGMT' for the affected row

the platform (broker) time
Adjust the setting 'pw.datetime.BrokerTimeZone'

your own country ie local PC time
There should be no adjustment required if your pc windows clock is set to automatically adjust for daylight saving.


Note: If you see a 'TIME!' error on your dash. Look at the number just below that ... it gives you the amount that you need to adjust your 'pw.datetime.BrokerTimeZone'

eg

if it is approx 3600 ... increase your BrokerTimeZone by 1
if it is approx 7200 ... increase your BrokerTimeZone by 2
... etc

if it is approx -3600 ... reduce your BrokerTimeZone by 1
if it is approx -7200 ... reduce your BrokerTimeZone by 2
... etc

In this instance the broker time zone setting should be increased by 1 eg if it is currently set to '4', it needs to be '5'

As I'm easily making over my target of 10% per month (did that within the first 10 days of this month ), I've decided to stop trading for the rest of this month to concentrate on dashboard programming. Stopping yourself from trading is not as easy as it sounds .... greed is always nipping at your heels.

Anyway, it's amazing how slow my programming becomes while I'm trading. I urgently need to finish the changes for castlebrook (full alerting system rewrite) and get the news working with less resource use. There are still other things on my previous list of changes to complete as well.

I need to finish the version 4 manual ... many are asking for this. Now that I know my manual trading strategies work ok, I might investigate getting those into an EA

Although the reporting from MyFXBook.com is good, I'm not getting enough info for each trading strategy I employ. I really need multiple accounts ... one for each strategy. This will determine how effective each is.

Strategies? Probably more like scalping, position, swing etc. Maybe even specific strategies as well like MA's with stochastics, TDI etc.

April is the beginning of the financial year here in New Zealand so it's a good time for me to get my reporting sorted out really well. So when I start trading again in April, my current account is going to be split up into multiple accounts ie all trade reporting will start again.

Although I'm often in the room, I may be busy programming and can't read the huge amount of conversation in real-time ... I would be constantly interrupted. If there is a specific topic of conversation that I should get involved with, I need to be made aware of it.

You can get me into the conversation by including my name 'rob' anywhere in the chat ... I have set my skype alert to 'alertson rob'. So anytime you want my input, please type my name in the conversation eg "Rob, I have a question about the news part of the dash"

IMPORTANT: Please always respect that this room is a free service and I have no obligation to be there or continue running it ie do not make the assumption that purchasing the dashboard automatically gives you a trading room and mentor.

To be clear, this is how I view the skype room.

Dashboard Support
I occasionally need people to beta test new changes and will talk in the room to people that can do this ... usually during the asian session (my day time). People sometimes have quite pressing support questions and the room is a great way to get support in real-time. Often, you can get a question resolved by others without my help.


Learning to Trade

Initially, I got this room up and running for the beta testing issue I faced ... but it's quickly become a 'trading' room. Becoming a 'trading' room has happened a lot quicker than I expected ie I was (and still am) unprepared for this trading room aspect.


Please don't look to me as a mentor. I am a good programmer and positive with my trading but don't have any defined set of mechanical trading rules (yet). There are many others in the room that are more profitable than I am. I will help you where I can but I'm not a trading signal provider ie I'm not going to 'call out' all my trades. Think of this as a free trading room where you can communicate with other traders in real-time.

The alert debug panel could be used all the time but once you setup your alerts, I expect people will hide it.

Here's some of the settings:

The addon of the news since version 4 is for me a great one.

Yes I noticed the same thing, some people see you as a mentor. I can understand why, but it’s clear you are not.
Although you have a lot of experience, you are still learning too.
But the room is a great success, lot of nice people, some good traders, so a lot to learn if you want.
I learned a lot thanks to the room.

On Asian session I mostly sleep, but if you need a tester you can always mail me the beta version or whatever you want to test. I will test it the same day.

Here's a clearer shot of the alerts ...

In this instance, once the FastTrix and SlowTrix on M1/M5 turn Red ... you will receive a THV alert. What I like about this setup is that you can choose what parts of THV and timeframes you are interested in for an alert to occur ... the settings for this chart were to ignore the Coral on M5 and ignore all thv rules on M15 and higher.

After i purchased the db, i practiced first to be familiar with all options and let it fit in the strategy I like and feel comfortable with. Also with a good money management, based on ideas of Cobra.

Since the end of February (night of 23th for my country) i went live with it (started with a reasonably small amount for now)
The time i have/spend to trade is maybe a few hours a day, but i think thats more then enough to stay mentally healthy, at least for me.
I also reached the 10% this month
Drawdown thus far only 1.01%

I don’t need to programming for others (i can't programming)
So I hope to build some more profit this month

I was testing a new feature of the alerts engine today. This worked really well.

I got a single alert when the MA, THV and FractalSR alert combination I had setup occurred. I think this is going to be a very powerful feature ... very exciting

EDIT: Updated picture with arrows ... please disregard the small arrows all over the chart ... that is just me fixing a bug in the fractal arrows.
