Anyone else having problem with DB news today? Never had trouble before today... only GU is working properly. same template applied to 5 other pairs list pair as --- and news times as 0:00 ????
Thanks

This is a very difficult problem to address as I am not experiencing it on my own computers. Hopefully I can find someone in the skype room that will allow me access to their computer (in real time) so I can get to the bottom of this.

The most important thing to grasp is that the dashboard is a 'tool' that summarizes the most important information (IMO) .... but ... this information must be 'weighed' against traditional trading techniques ie Fibs, S & R etc. The dashboard also draws lines, MA's etc on the main chart to help with your analysis.

How I personally trade ... I analyze the charts 'traditionally' (use babypips.com to understand what I mean here) and then use the dashboard to confirm this analysis and also get the most efficient entry.

The new alert engine (4.30) will help significantly in giving signals of trading opportunities. This again is a tool ... you setup what you want to have alerts for. It is my hope that myself and others will come up with templates that provide good trade signals.

In terms of strategies ... the strategy I mentioned a few posts back will get you 40-100 pips per day (seriously) once you get experienced with it.

Stratman, I have a problem with my DashBoard time , I set it to "0" for broker time zone, and set local time to true, as of daylight savings time my new day seperator starts at 22:00 hrs on my charts, all my clocks local times are an 1 hour fast, I am not really sure how to fix this . I read your previous post about setting the clock, and I tried to reset all the local times and I try adding NZ back in the db, but an error message come up that I do not have 24 hrs in the system for the adv. I have tried adding one hr to the broker , does not work.
Should I just wait until the new version comes out ?
Thanks in Advance.

Have a talk to me on skype and I will be able to look at your screen in real-time to show you what is wrong with the settings

skype='stratman_fx'

that is a very old beta version of the charts ... they have much more functionality now and you must make choices in the settings to get what you desire

I don't mind if someone posts a template here for the current version to help you ... I can't because I'm running my latest beta ... soon to be released.

Yesterday, I was having the problem of news not being reflected in the standalone news sheet as well as on the DB. Tried to set it right but could not. Today I open my desk top and voila!!, all working well. I guess I should have rebooted the PC yesterday as it seems to solve many PC problems.
Cheers

I have to learn more about the better volume. "May" have a moving average cross,

Left computer on overnight and News was working on all pairs this AM. Must be Gremlins in the DB!

Version 4.3 is coming along well. As soon as testing is finished and the manual completely rewritten it will be released. Hopefully sometime this week.

Bug Fixes:

1) 'CLOSED' message should never come up ... will rely on 'TIME!'
2) News no longer downloaded by every chart and time frame. This was causing sluggish response when switching time frames.
3) ADR calculation was using a close time form 1 hour later (started happening in version 4) ... caused session lines to be occassionally drawn incorrectly.


New Features:

1) Introduction of a 'News Master' indicator



This will be placed on a single chart and provide the news alerts and data for all the other charts. Helps fix bug 2) mentioned above



2) Alerts Engine



I previously had fractal alerts but have added so much more that I had to rewrite the way alerts are done.

Now we have trade signal alerts for moving averages, THV, Fractals and stochastics. I have also added warning alerts for ADR and news.

The alert system has got huge flexibility but been done in a way that is quite intuitive.

Hi STRATMAN, i'm back from 2 weeks in Sydney with my wife.. And feeling better after my operation. I see that you haven't stopped working while i was away... keep on the good work.. cheers.

This tool is becoming more than a dashboard. I'm now packaging more indicators with this ie this is becoming a suite of software

I am open to ideas for a new name ... consider that the package now has the pipware-charts, stochastics indicator and news master etc. In the future, we will likely have EA's ... so keep this in mind.

Maybe I should just call it 'pipware' ... I coined this name to mean software for making pips ... but it doesn't sound good by itself

Whatever it is called, it should sound good when preceded by 'pipware'

eg pipware xxxxxxx

Nice to hear from you ... hope to see you trading again shortly.

In the beginning there was the dashboard .... now let there be strategies

This is a long term project for me ... I have a 3 year plan. I discussed part of this in the skype room. Year 2 commences at the beginning of April .. this coincides with the New Zealand financial year (tax year).

The goal at the end of 3 years is to be earning all my income from full-time trading. I am sharing this journey with you because we can both benefit from each other. I will go into this in more detail but here is an underlying principle of how this 'synergy' (win/win) will operate:

"I will become wealthy trading the market and not by selling traders products and services. Any money received from traders for products and services will not be for profit but to cover costs inclusive of time"

In this first year, I worked the first 6 months in my programming business (not forex related) to earn enough income to sustain me full-time for the last 6 months of the year. These last six months have been a research and development phase ie researching forex trading and development of generic tools (indicators) for use in forex trading. Must mention here that I had previously 4-5 years of poor trading

During this 6 month R & D phase, I have determined that I can easily make 10% per month but I don't have any specific strategy/system ie I am using my education and DB to place trades. This is currently working for some of you too but many will need 'rules' written down.

This is the next phase for me ... year 2 is all about getting the strategies researched and developed (and documented) ... may even be some EA's.

What about the benefits to you ... where is the win/win?

My benefits
Through my R+D, I have come into contact with some very good traders that help add to my forex education ... you could consider these people mentors ... maybe I will be a mentor one day? Dashboard sales do help pay for some of my R+D time (wish it was all of it ) and communication with you guys makes this whole journey more interesting ... trading can be a very lonely experience.

Your benefits
In me, you get a full-time person researching and developing forex so that you too can head toward financial freedom ... and the cost is very small


I may soon need to go back to my 'day job' to get myself another injection of cash to sustain me. Some of you have indicated marketing the products I have. If I can do this in a way that covers the R+D time it would be great but my fear is that people will then see me as earning money from traders rather than the market ... something I despise in others.

EDIT: best clarify that .. I despise those that say that their motivation is to help traders ie they don't need income form teaching as they are successful traders .... then they go and charge you $1000's ... either a one-off payment or a monthly subscription

Hi Stratman, must thank you for your work and efforts that has enabled me to be profitable.
Since last May, when I first started trading Forex, can honestly say, with the help of the DB, I have been much more consistent profit wise on my trades.

During my newbie days, I tried several systems and countless EA's in search of profits. It wasn't until I found this thread that my fortunes changed.

Looking forward to the journey....

great plan ROB.. can't wait to hear more.. jean

thanks for your kind words deano and froggy

In rewriting the manual, I have opted for white background charts to help those that wish to print the manual. Personally, I prefer a dark high contrast template.

Here's some examples from the manual to wet your appetite

Just a heads up that there are those about that would abscond with Your Jewel.
