Blank cells, divide by zero errors... they all mean that MT4 has not loaded all the required data yet.

And again I say MT4 doesn't respond well, and sometimes stalls, when it needs a lot of data.

Carl
I defer to you, Carl, as being much more proficient than myself in all matters programmable. Having followed the great Steve Hopwood for many years, his writings have led me to believe that EAs are more efficient and far less CPU intensive. He dreads writing indicators and defers that task to others, preferring himself to bring all those divergent elements together into a SuperPack, if you will. For instance, I would personally like to see the dashboard incorporate the current HA status on each timeframe. Were that to be attempted no doubt it would bring things to a crawl not to mention any other tasks we would all like to see incorporated.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for an autotrader. I have no faith in those. My advocation towards this is based solely on anecdotal evidence. Your the expert, Carl, and have a far better feel the pros and cons. Thanks for everything you have done, and will do, for us.

If you get blank cells, just go into the inputs, change the symbols and click ok and close it and it works. I always had that problem until I found the solution.
Hi Al

Change what symbols?

Thanks

Please, explain to me.
Hi Al,
Commitment of Traders Report
The COT Report: What, Where, When, Why, and How

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, publishes the Commitment of Traders report (COT) every Friday, around 2:30 pm EST.

Because the COT measures the net long and short positions taken by speculative traders and commercial traders, it is a great resource to gauge how heavily these market players are positioned in the market.

So what's the closest thing we can get our hands on to see the state of the market and how the big players are moving their money?

Change timeframes to let the dashboard re-initialize. Its an MT4 glitch.
I didn't change anything but the TMA normalization calculations.

Carl
Hi Carl,

thank you for the new dashboard.

It would be great and very helpful for most of us to include the GMT offset settings for the different brokers, otherwise the calculation will not match the GMT pivots...

I did that but it did not help.

I have tested several things now:

1. On my "normal" Pepperstone demo platform version 16 worked fine
but version 17 only gave blanks.
Deleting almost all indicators not needed for TMA-extreme method did not help, version 17 still does not work.
Edit: I changed max bars in history to 512000
and max bars in chart to 65000
then clicked on all timeframes ( M1 , M5 etc. up to Monthly ) on all pairs which version 17 displays
and guess what ?
Now version 17 is working on this platform too.

2. On my other demo-Pepperstone mt4, version 17 worked immediately
and still does of course.

3. On Alpari, version 17 worked immediately.

4. I installed a new Pepperstone, updated it to build 409 and then
attached version 17.
First it did not work. Then I went through each pair on version 17 ( opened a new chart )
and clicked on all timeframes to force Mt4 to load data from the broker ....
and now version 17 works on this new installation too.

I've tried everything mentioned on this thread to get v17 to work with the exception of downloading a new MT4 platform. Nothing has worked. However, I do get it to work when I select "true" for small to only display 15m and 1hr.

I guess I'll just trade 15m until I get it figured out.

Of all the people who have told me it doesn't work, I have proven, without exception, that it works on ALL MT4 installations.

Carl, I got it solved too.
Max bars in history: 512000
Max bars in chart : 65000
Then clicking on all timeframes in all pairs which version 17 displays
..... and it works.

Never was your fault of course and I never said that, right ?

Since this forum unfortunately has no "Thank you" button, I take the chance to thank you for your great work.

Hi Carl

I'm having problems with the v17 as well. The v16 was working fine, but when I applied the v17 all the buy/sell cells are blank, I do have the header info but that's all. When I change small to true the 15m and 1hr does fill in the buy/sell cells. Just wanted let you know, if you need more info. please let me know.
Thanks for all of your hard work on this.

Can anyone answer this:

Is it possible to display the 15M TMA Slope on a 5M chart?

Thanks,

William
Sorry Guys,

I have definitely dropped the ball somewhere. I guess I did not update when we went to the new TMA Slope.

Now can anyone explain how we are interpreting the bars now? I have red and green with large gaps of black. Is that normal?

Sorry for such a basic question.

William
may you find what you seek and trade what you find
