NH4 Dashboard v2

Attached are 2 examples

example1:...
1. be sure your chart isn't maximized in MT4
2. delete these lines that begin with the pair name. I don't use them anymore (you probably use an old template, from v1). Good line names are: onesixth, twosixth, threesixth, foursixth and fivesixth. If you still get pair+xxxsixth name, you are using an old SIXTH indicator. Use the most recent version.
3. can't do nothing for this one. This error is returned by MT4.

Hi Mart,

is it reasonable to show a recommendation, by perhaps flash one of EA, with which one could EA trade in certain situations?


reagards mtbf40
That's a nice idea, but I won't do it. It's not complicated (everything is relative) to analyze a chart to see which EA to place. It's only a question of a couple of days before being confortable with all EA. Too much people will take the suggestion the panel would show and by the same way, will trade the method blindly. I prefer that you guys make your own analysis, choice and take into account your style of trading.

Learning is better than copying

Cheers

Mart,

Thanks #3 fixed itself, #1 and #2 still are a problem
I am using SIXTHS v5.3 is there a newer version?
I also am not maximizing the charts, they are in there own boxes.

I also have a question about the Re-entry option when setting the EA. Does Reentry on mean that if the trade goes bad it will automatically enter a basket trade? or does the reentry mean that if it places a trade and takes profit that it will be ready to place a second trade right away without me reactivating the EA?

Just delete the lines that start with a pair name. They should not reappear. Version 5.3 is ok. You can also close the chart, reopen it and drop the template I supply in post 1. That should help "cleaning" up things.

"...or does the reentry mean that if it places a trade and takes profit that it will be ready to place a second trade right away without me reactivating the EA?"

That's it.

Does the dashboard automatically place a L2 trade after a certain amount of pips in the hole? Or do I have to manually execute another the EA a second time for it to take a new position?

The reason I ask is I was putzing on demo with the parameters and turned off re-entry on a pair that already had one trade, the dashboard ended up placing a new trade immediately, so now i had 2 trades open and it placed a breakeven line in between them. Both were the same lot size though. Also under L2 in the dashboard there was nothing.

If it does take a position after a certain amount of pips, is there a way to specify how many? also does it automatically do this? I read through the manual and didnt find a specific answer to those questions.

Thank you,
Jbauer

No automatic placement of L2 (or more) trades. Everything must be done manually.

Yes you have to (or you can enter when you want too).

It should not put in a trade automatically. Double check your settings....

I just had it fire off 2 trades at roughly the same time on two different pairs but I think it is because I rebooted right after they executed and I didn't remove them first...

one more recommendation:

$ profit and (+- pips) NEXT to the bar clutters up the bar so I can't see if there is any retrace.

Can you change that or, point me in the direction of the code and I will move it some maybe... I love it.. But it is just a little in the way. Maybe set spacing a bit aways....

I've done some test with the trailing stop, maybe i'm doing something wrong.

I've set be @ 25 pips.
Then i've set trailing stop at 35 pips and trailing step at 2.

Now price is at +65 pips and the trailing stop should have been at 55 if i'm not wrong, instead it's just a stop loss @40 pips.

Hy Phover.
You can insert this pointer in the dashboard?
If you can make it would be a great aid.

Thanks 1000

What is the Red Reentry line for that shows up on the chart? I had assumed it was where the dashboard placed another order after the first position was in the red. now i know this cant be the case since reentry for basket trading is completely manual.

Also if I have 2 or more open trades on a pair nothing is showing up next to the $$ in the L2 column. Is something supposed to be displayed here?

BTW Thanks for answering my tedious questions. Once I figure out all the bells and whistles of this tool I will be sure to help with improvement ideas.

The red line is just an indication as to where you should start to consider your re-entry for L2 or L3 for example. This is described previously in this thread.

L2 column shows $$ if your basket target is a set $ number, or shows Pips if your target is a set pip count. Right click on it to find more.

So, @ 25 pips, you were at 0.

Then, @ 35 pips, you started your trail.

Now you are at 65 pips - 35 pips = 30 pips movement.

My guess is that you were once greater than 65 pips on that currency. Probably more like 80 pips. That would put you @ 40 pips SL.

I think I have that right...

Umm, so I really don't understand how to let the trailing stop follow price by 10 pips.
@25 pips there was no SL set, cause i set the BE to 25 when the price hit 35.
So when i'm at 35, be is set at 25.
Then I expected the trailing stop to follow the price every two pips, so @37, sl should be 27, at 39 sl should be 29 and so on.
Instead it doesn't work and i'm crashing my head on the wall trying to find a correct setup to have a good follower stop loss.

Mart,

Something strange happened my way. Went long on EURCHF!

I don't recall the EA used, but I believe I had a #2 or #5 on.

Why did it go long at the purple line??

--- Good for me, it was up 15 pips when I discovered it!

My advise is to keep playing with it.

Mine works fine and great...?

Send me this log file by email (zip it first please). I'll check it. I have a couple of free time tonight so it will be a "debug" session (I have a nh4set file to analyse too for another member). My address: mlfxdev @ gmail.com (<-- remove the spaces from the address)

Just love your DashBoard and with Bobs system it is working just great. I was short some of the Yen pairs yesterday but last night I decided it looked like they may turn back up, so as long as I was in profit I took my money to play another day. Below is what I have been doing on a small live account over the last 2 weeks when I started using the DB. Bob's H4 system makes it possible to work a day job and still play the forex market. I did have one L2 on one of them (forgot which one) but I hung in there and it came back, I think it was one of the CHFs. The DashBoard is a nice piece of programing, I didn't realize you could tie into MT4 like that.
Good Luck
