Hi Rob

Congratulations on the latest release. Awesome as always.

I've encountered a couple of bugs. When I try to put the news DB into window 1 the news gets placed OK but the background box stays on window 0.
Also I have pw.dash.chart.TodayBoxOn=False and pw.dash.chart.YesterdayBoxOn=False but they are still shaded. I prefer a complete black background.

It is the trix indicator ,install the 1st settings to histrogram, then edit to blackout the moving ave lines ,then reinstall the trix indicator again over the same window and install without the histrogram and the regular trix moving ave lines will appear. You are beter just to add 2- trix indicators setups ,one with histrogram and one just with the regular trix. Hope this helps.

Hi Strat,

Got some problems with the new version, see the picture below.
(both V4.3 & V4.01 side by side)

1. Many question marks come up?
2. Asian BO = Asian Break out? How it use?
3. The USA timing changed? Actually it doesn't bother me as I trade up to end of UK or more a little bit.
4. By the way, my local is GMT+8, and the broker is Alpari UK (suppose GMT+1), so I should simply set these 2 no. into your DB?


Take your time

Hey Strat,

Take a look at this. It is a simple session clock I found coded by Arif E. Nugroho. I modified the session hours and added auto DST codes (only for US and EU) for my personal use. Changes to the session hours are made based on my experience and screen time.

Hope you find this useful in your Market Times Project.

Cheers,
CaveMan
Sorry for the intrusion Strats but you may find this usefull also.

For your perusal & approval, hopefully.
In my ongoing efforts to learn MT4 code, I sometimes clone & modify Open Source Code by others.
I hope I am not offending anyone.

I modified this Clock by;
Added:
FontColorMarket1HourTillOpen;
FontColorMarket1HourTillClose;

Just as a little early warning alert.
I (hopefully) will set the Font Colour to (User Choice) Default Blue 1 Hour Before Market Open.
and
set the Font Colour to (User Choice) Default Red 1 Hour Before Market Close .

I would appreciate it if any of you Coding Gurus could review my feeble efforts at code.

Thanks for the feedback. I hadn't tried it in window 1 ... easy fix

Also, I'll look at the boxes.

This is due to the default settings in the dash ... the earlier version was saved when NY was GMT-5 ...now it's GMT-4. So all rows change because the start of the Asian BO is NY 5pm.

If you want info on the Asian BO ... search asian breakout on google and take a look at my videos to see why I use the times I have.

Take a look at the installation manual included with the v4.30 to see how to adjust that correctly. Also video link in the readme file.

First things first: A big thank you to Stratman for all the work he has done, and is still doing, not just on the dashboard, but for all the educational vids and time he has invested in making us all better traders. Thank you, Stratman.

Since we are talking strategy now, I would like to revisit the Asian breakout strategy (Stratman posted a video on this earlier). I have visually backtested this method on the GU from January ’09 and can confirm that this strategy can bank a massive amount of pips daily, every single day. But, as I see it, the method needs some refinement, or perhaps just some general guidelines from which to work. I am hoping for some dialogue, so I will try to open up the discussion with this:

1) We are trading the GU breakout of the Asian channel. But where should we draw the line in the sand from which to begin trading? A price range? A time range? I think Stratman uses the middle of the Hong Kong session to begin trading, but I am seeing that oftentimes the beginning of London open is best. This makes sense to me, since liquidity for the GU is highest during the London session.

2) What is our optimal SL? 10 pips perhaps? Is it best to move it to break-even immediately when we enter profit? Oftentimes this would be a very good strategy, as price often whipsaws quickly back into the channel range and heads for the opposite breakout.

3) Do we not trade within the box range during the London session? Seems a bit unreasonable, since that leaves a lot of pips on the table. On the other hand, this is a breakout strategy, and we are going to earn a boatload of pips anyway just trading the breakouts.

4) What’s our exit strategy? I think this is a crucial one, and I can’t come up with any one thing that works consistently. Sometimes the market will move 20 pips and pull back immediately. Sometimes it will move 200 pips. There seems to no good “average” swing high or low breakout to use as a TP baseline. Sometimes a MA crossover seems the best exit; sometimes a change in the Trix fast line; etc.

5) Does the method work on other pairs? I have read that EJ is also a good candidate, but I cannot confirm this yet.

Final note: Stratman’s dashboard is perfect for this strategy because it gives us all the information we need to trade well. We can customize a user-defined channel and use the dash settings to visually extend the channel lines through the London session (this is our box). We can get the ADRs for this channel for the month, week, yesterday. We can get the same ADRs for the London session, which provides extremely valuable information to us when the current session’s price range approaches these levels (i.e., we should strongly consider exiting our trades).

Kudos, Stratman!

I have studied sessions extensively and surprised how much confusing garbage is out there

Here's a video summarizing what I have learnt and why I chose the default settings of the dashboard.

*edit* For those that are unaware, Forex may be a 24/7 Market but it does contain some serious Sub Divisions. *end edit.*

Understanding Sessions is Crucial to understanding Markets.

You may like different settings to me for the sessions. Some would like to see one value for the whole day? others might like to see just Asian, Europe, USA? Here's a video showing how to make changes

Rummy, here is a 5 min chart with the channels, the upper blue line is were it broke thur the down trend line, and the yellow line is a 60 ma, the blue and red lines are moving ave, hope this helps, you need to start drawing horizital support. resistence line from the daily chart and work back to the 1h chart, then I draw channel or trend lines from 1hr chart back to 5 min chart. Have a good weekend. I am putting my boat in the water tomorrow, rock fish just starting to show up. Everyone have agood week end.

Hi Strat,

Fixed some of the previous problems encountered after read through the full manual. The other mate has reported that the background of news panel is stayed on the main chart while we prefered to make it appear in sub-window, I trust you will fix it soon.

The other problem is that I used to open 2 charts side by side, the DB with news panel is fine. but the other one, as you said don't open 2 news panel, then there is no info (all question marks) regarding the news in 2nd DB on 2nd chart. You know what I mean?

One more suggestion is that whether the alert panel be customizable that moving around between main chart, sub-chart etc, but also turn off some alert section, I mean disappear from the alert panel (say I don't need the Fractal SR at all)?

Thanks
City
