I am experiencing problem installing the panel update. Each time I install it does not over ride the original version.As you can see from the attachment the updated panel is installed properly but when I close and reopen it again , it goes back to the original. I am sure I am doing something stupid and I am ashamed of to

Are you opening the software from an desktop icon? If you are then that could be the problem, what you need to do is remove the icon from the desktop and then go to the folder where you placed the updated version then right click on the blue circle icon and place that on the desktop and then double click the icon from the desktop and hey presto.

i hope that works for you

Hi Martin

I am getting the alert announced repeatedly as long as the conditions are still valid. I thought the latest version alerts only once when the conditions are true. But I may have missed this point?

If the condition becomes true and an alarm is generated I don't think there is a need to keep repeating the alarm?

It's not supposed to repeat except if the signal disapear and reappear after the time filter (default is 20 seconds). I use 600 (10 minutes) as the time a signal must be valid before an alert is generated. That filters a lot of rebounces.

Do a seach on your machine for NH4PANEL.EXE
Delete them all. Then reinstall the update in the same folder you have installed the panel (version 2).

That should solve the problem, at least, won't execute an older version.

hmmmm....still not a single email alert, but many visual pop alerts.
my email settings are correct, too, tested in mt4 and working.

is anyone else NOT getting email alerts even though they should?
I thought it may have just been the timer setting, but that wouldnt have stopped it totally - a few should have still generated, by eyeballing it. And nothing when i hit the "test" button either. And yes, email is selected in all appropriate spots. As I said, I get the visual alerts fine. Anyone?

Mart thanks for such a great tool!

Mart, sorry to be a pain, but in the interests of helping u to refine this great tool, I just noticed an erroneous EUR/CHF buy trade that was fired (and is now dow about 150 pips)...see pic...there was no EA on but it seems to have fired a #3 EA buy and u can clearly see that was a very ODD place to fire it with no rhyme or reason.

Same here, Odysseus. I even installed another email client to make sure I had the right setting. The new email client worked but for some reason, the dashboard email alert is not working for me.... Just like you, I receive the visual alert to.

I was waiting for the new dashboard version. As I understand, Mart will add some email authentication features.

Mart, the dashboard totally transformed the way I trade and I just love it!! I can't thank you enough for that tool. Of course, understanding Bob's EA is a must, but you sure made it easier for me to navigate charts and take the right decision at the right time. http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Ok, why is it I feel terrible to even mention a possible issue with this system. haha...

Mart,

This could be the platform, this could be me, so take it for what it is worth.

I had a #1 with Re-Entry on this and I popped in to take a look and it fired 3 trades, 2 closed @ BE, 1 closed at negative -2.4 pips.

I realized it was my TP settings. I had #5 enabled for the TP with a trailing stop. I went ahead and opened another trade manually and realized it was putting TP about 3 pips away! Or, basically the spread difference.

My understanding is that considering the location of the white and blue, the white would have to come from below from a previous bar and then be above the blue on the current bar. This was working to put it out quite a ways for most of my currencies, but for some reason this did not work on this ONE.

This is the older version 2.01, so I don't know if this is moot at this point.

I have since changed my TP's to static fixed 500 pips and just get knocked out by the TS if there is ever a 499 pip move without retrace! haha...

That doesn't help me a lot.

What I'll do to have some data to analyze is to log all operations on a pair that you do on the panel and all status from the manager EA. This way, in case of situation like this, you'll be able to send me theses log (on request) and I'll be in a better position to try to help you.

After 6 weeks operating the panel without any flaws, there is something you do (or I don't do) for this to happen...

Good morning Martin

Could you please explain when the panel can track trades and when it looses them?

I think you said that for existing trades it looks for a 0 Magic Number. But sometimes trades takes by the panel are lost but I am not sure exactly when. What are the situations when a trade is lost?

For example I have a USDCHF trade that was taken by the panel's EA1 and is still running. The panel was tracking. Now it's gone. The only thing I did was setup another EA1 to take L2 but then removed it before a trade was taken. I think it lost tracking the trade after this but I am not 100% sure.

I hope this makes sense?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

My trailing stop in vers 2.01 doesn't seem to work?

Does anyone know if it works off of MPTM or its embedded an the EA?

I missed out on about 100 pips last night... Next time!

I have since loaded MPTM as a backup...

You should not use v2.01 anymore.

You should download the latest one, v2.3
There is a fixed in it about BE and trailing stop.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "lost" !?

The panel was tracking. Now it's gone.
What do mean by this?

The manager manage all trades open in a pair.
Even if you do a Stop/remove of an EA, that doesn't affect the management of opened orders...

The only way an order stop to be manage it's when it's close (automatically by takeprofit, BE or manually). When you say "it's gone", what do you mean?

Sorry for being vague. By 'lost' I mean the active trade is not showing on the panel any more although it is still an active trade.

As a real example this is what happened (I think this is going to answer the question anyway
-Had a EURNZD trade (L1) triggered and is showing in the panel correctly
-After going in the hole I decided to open an L2 trade so set EA2 to green. Magic No 111
-As I did this, this active trade, L1, dissapeared from the panel
-I removed E2 (it had not triggered yet). L1 still not showing
-I remebered that L1 may have had a Magic No 112. So I set EA2 again but with 112. L1 immediately reappeared on the panel

So from all this it is obvious that the Magic Number is the key here.

My original question was to clarify that, it seems that the panel will only manage trades that have the same Magic No as the last EA setup.

A secondary question:
If I take a manual L2 trade, what can I do so that the panel can track it and manage it (for TP, TSl, etc) ?

Really sorry if I'm confusing you more!

Thanks Mart, will do!!!



EDIT::::: MART, THE INSTALLER IS DROPPING ALL THE FILES ONTO MY DESKTOP. I chose the existing NH4 folder, but it decided to drop them anyways on my desktop. I went ahead and just cut them all to the proper location (I hope it all works and no registry settings?).

I did it a few times and once it decided to put them in my temp folder and that worked when I found it etc.. I went ahead and used the uninstaller for the last version and like I said just transferred everything to this folder. I hope that is good. I don't know if the issue is me or the installer, but it worked for me last time.

Ok, now it's clear.

There is a nuance, comparing with the original way to operate the EAs with the method, that I forgot to say:

When using the panel, you don't have to play with the magic number. Let it at 0 or a specific value you want for a pair. The manager will manage your order correctly. The panel shows trades from the current magicnumber set to it. The manager manage trades of this magicnumber and not the other ones.

A secondary question:
If I take a manual L2 trade, what can I do so that the panel can track it and manage it (for TP, TSl, etc) ?
If this L2 trade is a recovery trade, the manager will manage it (auto switch to BASKET mode, in this mode, there is no TP,BE or trailing). If you want to let the L1 trade open and add another L2 trade to operate without affecting the L1 trade, let say you want this L2 trade to be independent of the L1 trade... you just can't right now with my manager. The only way is to change the magicnumber of your L2 trade but the manager will only manage one trade the one with the same magicnumber specified in the parameters.
And you are in the situation you described in your post.

Each system has his weakness...

Thanks Mart, will do!!!...
Heuu, I was refering to the manager EA version (you are running v2.01 (I see it on your chart) and current version is 2.3). The zip contains only 2 files: MLFX_NH4_MANAGER.ex4 and MLFX_NH4_MANAGER.mq4
You only need to unzip them in your MT4experts folder...

No need to re-install the panel cause you already use it. At least, if you don't run the panel v2.13 version, you just download the panel update and unzip to your panel directory the contents of the zip. 2 files in it: NH4PANEL.EXE and an mp3 file (sound of the visual alert).

Well, I think I got it none-the-less. Thanks for the help.

I think the installer is having an issue, just FYI.

I wanted to upgrade to your latest invention anyways, so it is a good reason.

Thanks again, and merci!
