This is a before and after refresh of the charts screen shots and then it goes back to the small 6th indi again. if you look at the dashboard you can see the different readings. i don't know but this might effect the ea and maybe cause it to trade to early or late.

Hi Mart

Our post must have just crossed

I have a question about setting of TP. All TPs showing ATR even when I right click on the cell and change to anything else. What am I doing wrong?
If you change in the parameters the TP.Mode value for something else (like 1 for example), do you see the right mode in the panel after in the TpL1 column?

Hi Martin,

as soon as the market opens, I will test your beta version regarding the pip calculation for my EURO account.

BTW, is there any possibility to start the EAs when the market is closed? I was not able to start any...I guess because the ticks are missing.

I know of the MT4ticker - but this one is not working on my VPS at hosteurope.com...

Regards,
Oliver
Hi Oliver,

Your guess was right. I can solve that easy. I send tick to the EA for some operation (if the dashboard works for you (if you can see the screenshot of the pair when you mouseover the column 1) then the EA get them).

Thank for that one

Ok Im getting the feel for the dashboard its sweet.

I have two questions:

After an EA is activated and I want to put on a order set to break even at a certain number of pips but I don't want a trailing stop or a stop loss how do I set that? Or is that possible?

Second question, after an EA is activated I see a orange line that says reentry
does the dashboard automatically reenter at this level L1 at 1.6x lot size or do I have to manually set up an order there?

Sorry if I missed this I read the manual three times and didn't see it.

Thank YOU

Ok, Mart. That would be fine to have in the next version.

By the way, the pip calculation with the beta version for my non-USD account works great!

Hi Mart,

Great work on the dashboard -

I have been admiring your code & have a question.

In 'Entry Signals' section you have
BBup = iBands(Symbol(),0,25,2,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_UPPER,0);
BBdown = iBands(Symbol(),0,25,2,0,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_LOWER,0);

and in section 'EAs' you have:
if(EA1) {
BUYme = Ask < BBdown ;
SELLme = Bid > BBup;

However as I understand it, for EA#1 Bob uses a shifted BBand like this:
BBup = iBands(Symbol(),0,25,2,1,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_UPPER,0);
BBdown = iBands(Symbol(),0,25,2,1,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_LOWER,0);

It is quite possible I missed something, as I am not a great programmer,
so I thought I would check with you.

Keep up the great work - appreciated

It is true I have changed the #1 EA to shifted one for the EA but not for the screen. This was to prevent not getting entered because of BB runaway on some spikes. Price would spike up and BB would run away and then price would go back down bringing the BB down to where it looked like a trade should have entered but didnt. The Shift one allows these kind of trades, which are very profitable by the way, to get entered. You dont need to change the screen but that is in the coding and the logic behind it. SO EA 1 has a shift of 1 in the BB bands

SL and breakeven are automatically disable when you have 2 or more orders opened on the same pair.

It's only an aid. You have to enter there manually (for now ).
I don't systematically enter on the red line, I prefer to set an EA around the "red" zone to get the best entry.

Even without shifting the indi, it has working well for me for now.

Hi Mart thank you for the responses.

I was able to set and forget last night and woke up to a nice +120 and +84 using the middle band as target. SWEET...It is nice to not have to flip through the MT4 program what a pain that was....

On the SL and break even? when I get a EA to trigger just one order is the EA using the default settings in the parameters? I noticed the stop loss is set to zero do I need to change this to make the SL and break even feature work?


Also last night I had a #2 set on EurAud H4 and when I switched to H1 the EA triggered. Bob thought maybe the EA's in the dashboard weren't hard wired to just the H4 chart. Just checking on that so I don't flip through charts with EA running....

thanks again

Actually, the time frame isn't hardcoded in the code.
I can change that BUT (there is a BUT), the MACD value that I calculated in the code is based on the windowfirstvisiblebar of the chart. This function returns the first bar visible on the screen. You change for H1, the first bar will be different of the first bar on the H4 chart then the calculation of MACD will be different then the panel won't show a rigth RWB reading, BUT (there is another BUT , that should'nt affect how EA trigs order cause MACD isn't part of EAs conditions.

Conclusion: I'll harcode the H4 period in the code but just be aware that MACD value won't be ok on another chart timeframe.

I had the same problem. I think they are left overs from switching over to the panel. I deleted them and haven't had a problem since. Just hover over them and right click. select object list. The ones labeled onesixth twosixth etc. belong to the panel. I deleted ones that started with the currency pair, for example GBPCHFonesixth.

If I remember correctly


hope this helps
