Hi NB trader,

Here is version 2.0 of the panel.

I start this thread to avoid posting stuff related to the panel in Bob's thread. Please use this thread to ask any questions about it.

Version 1 of the dashboard (http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...&postcount=496) has proven more then enough that navigating thru chart in MT4 can now be really easy. One thing was missing: possiblity to send commands (on a simple click) to MT4 to perform different operations. Version 2 is here and answer the problem.
With version 2, from the panel, you will be able to:

 

1. place a BUY/SELL directly on any pair at the instant
2. start/stop/remove all EA from any charts, set them with a re-entry flag if needed
3. close all order on a pair or a selection of pairs
4. set all EA parameters directly from the panel in a bigger window
5. see a chart preview just by positioning your mouse on a specific location
6. change your takeprofit mode and multi level (basket) management directly from the panel
7. and more…

Let just clarify something: this version of the panel (dashboard) ISN’T an automated EA that decide and place trades for you. If it’s what you are looking for, this tool isn’t for you. You want an automated EA for the method, I recommend you to visit the thread of one of the famous FF coder/trader here at FF, Steve Hopwood: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=248297

To install the panel:

 

1. User of version 1 of the panel: READ THIS first: http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...06&postcount=9
2. Download the pdf document attached. Instructions to download/install/setup the panel is in there; THE DOWNLOAD LINK SPECIFIED IN THE PDF IS NO LONGER VALID, PLEASE USE THIS ONE INSTEAD: Installation Setup Kit for Version 2.0
3. Download all attached files (template, EA and indis) and follow instructions in pdf files to where you need to put them.
4. Download the file MLFX_NH4_MANAGERv232_update.zip and unzip it's content in MT4experts folder (please be sure your MT4 is close before doing that);
5. After the installation of the panel, close the panel if you have started it and download the file NH4Panelv23_update.zip(attached), unzip the contents in the directory where you installed the panel. Confirm the overwrite of the NH4Panel.exe file.

Not so much complicated

This version of the panel will be (default) installed in a different directory than v1. I suggest that you keep the directory I suggest.

The pdf file is a draft. It shows what you need to know. I don't go in deep details about all Manager EA parameters, then feel free to ask any questions about them here.

Note that I won't answer any questions regarding the "how to" trade Bob's method. You should already be familiar with it. The panel won't help you to become a better trader with Bob's method, it's just a tool. I have developed it to suit my needs while trading the method. I understand that maybe it won't suit exactly your needs (or style of trading). It's up to you to decide if the panel could be useful for you. Give it a try (with a demo account first and see). I will answer only request about the panel (operation, functions, suggestions, bugs,...) in this thread.

Let starts here. I'm waiting your feedback.

Happy trading!

Thanks phover. I will be trying this out next week.

Thanks Mart... subscribing now .....

Fantastic Mart. V1 is fantastic, so this will be the dogs bollocks.

Subscribed - thank you -

i take my hat off to you, phover.

it is truly a great piece of work.

looking forward to use it.

what a pleasure to have people like phover, nanningbob, stevehopwood (just to name a few) here at ff. it's a great place because of the user.

thanks to all !!!

Absolutely brilliant piece of software. I loved version 1 and I am sure this will be much better.

I have installed it and loaded a couple of chart. Like the way the chart pops up in the panel. Very clever.

A couple of quick observations though:

1-When I loaded the EA on a chart with two open orders (GBPJPY) it seems that it closed one the orders automatically. Not a major issue here because it was on demo but can be a problem is live.
2-When clicking the button in the corner for additional options (export, cut, etc.) the menu is in French although I have selected English
3-I have one chart loaded with a trade going but it does no show in the panel (pips, $ or DD all empty). I noticed on V1 that these will only show information if the built-in EA activates the trade. It does not pick existing live trades
4-When I first loaded the charts, double clicking the line in the panel brought the chart to the front in MT4. But then it stopped doing this. Not sure what changed.

Sorry to be picky but I thought some constructive feedback is useful.

Thanks again for this.

EDIT: I think I just found the issue with issue 4 - why it will not switch charts in MT4. I am using Windows 7. When I run the panel as normal, the switching does not work. Even the chart popup in the panel does not work for a newly added pair. However if I exit the panel and start it again using the 'Run As Administrator' option then both of these things work fine!

very nice, happy trading all.

Thanks Mart for the new panel, great piece of work.
A small problem with the number of pips displayed on MT4 and the panel column, eg. EUR/CHF is -230 but displayed number is -141. All EA functions and SLs working perfect. I had same with thing with your first panel and was going to post when you announced that there was a new one on the way.
Using Alpari Uk 5 digit demo acc.
Great work.......

Hi Zr-fx,

Ok you were running version 1 of the MLFX_NH4_MANAGER before installing version 2? Hopefully you were on demo ! I forgot to mention something important (PLEASE USERS OF VERSION 1, DO THE FOLLOWING BEFORE INSTALLING v2 on same account):

- disable EA execution in METATRADER (click the "Expert Advisors" button to disable EA)
- now, go to your MT4expertsfiles folder and delete all files that ends with extension .nh4
- quit metatrader4
- now install version 2 as described in pdf, copy the new MLFX_NH4_MANAGER ea in the expert folder (as described in pdf)
- restart mt4 (all your charts will be reload with the new MLFX_NH4_MANAGER EA).
- you can click on Expert Advisors button to re-enalble EA in MT4

The manager EA v2 has the same name as v1: MLFX_NH4_MANAGER.ex4 but the file they generated (.nh4 file) doesn't has the same format.
When you restart MT4, the new manager EA reload the .nh4 files to set his internal parameters to the last configuration. If it reloads v1 .nh4 files, some information in the file will be missing and anything can happens... ...

I'm not sure if I'm clear, if not, please ask before installing.

Martin

The panel already saved me a couple of hours/day browsing from one chart to another. What use to take 3 hours now takes 20 minutes!!! You saved me time and probably saved my marriage as well :-)))

Merci Martin for such a great tool. #5 and #7....nice to finally see on board with V2.

Bunker

Thanks!

See my previous post.
This one I can't translate cause it's part of the "tool" I have used to develop the panel... sorry...

Trades show are those that match the MagicNumber set in the Manager EA. Actually, default magicnumber is 0. If you changed this value for anything different of 0, you'll never see your manual trades in the panel.

You have found the solution some were asking me in PM Great!

Nothing wrong here. I like that.

Cheers

Mart

To luiboy, Steve, tread, macman, aserbfx,iulli, aserbfx and bunker: thank you guys! I appreciate But my small contribution is nothing compare to what some of you bring on this forum

Cheers

Mart

Hi Phover, typically the tool would embed the language file, any chance it has this? Or probably a native compile on the english version?

Or ... we post a sticky with the translation ... only french i know is the dirty kind!!!

Let me see if I can file what I need to put this menu in english.

For now, here is the translation of all the options you find there:

Sélectionner les colonnes - Select Columns to Display
Just check/uncheck column that you want to see/hide in the panel

Couper - Cut
Copier la ligne - Copy the line
Copier 'column name' - Copy content of column specified between ' '
Tout copier - Copy all (the table)
Coller - Paste

Exporter la table vers Excel - Export table to Excel
Exporter la table vers Word - Export table to Word
Exporter la table vers XML - Export table in XML
Imprimer - Print

Graphique - Graph

Hope that helps

Martin

Thank you very much Mart
great job.

Hi phover,

great, awesome piece of software!!

I just tested some functions and I realised that the removed pairs reappear immediately although the NH4 Manager EA was removed...

Could you check this?

PS:
Even if MT4 is not running and the DashBoard was started again, all pairs reappear all the time...

Regards,
Oliver

Thanks a lot!

Ok it's because the pairyouwanttodelete.nh4 file is still present in the MT4expertsfiles folder.
Delete it manually for now and I'll add the code to delete it from the panel in the next version.

Thanks for the find.

Cheers

Mart
