Dashboard for 60minuteman strategies

Hi Fxtr51,

I have spoken to a expert coder called Ferrufx.You will get his details in this forexfactory.I have told him about bugs in this dashboard indicator.But he is asking for .mq4 version of the file.Is it possible you can provide the .mq4 version of the indicator? So that I can forward it to him or you can directly speak to him.

Regards,
Bedayan.

Thanks to ferrufx.
I modified the dashboard according to his suggestions.
1. No supporting indicator needed anymore, the dashboard has all calculations "on board".
2. logic changed a bit. Now the dashboard updates correct (in my tests at least ), you don´t have to switch timeframes to update the signals.

I fixed a few bugs on the All-in-One indicator !BuySell Line .

You're welcome. I'm glad if these modifications made it to work fine now.

Hi Fxtr51,

I found following problem in dashboard indicator.Not sure whether any changes has been done or not.

In V7 of the dashboard I put Show_Alert to True in the indicator.But its not showing the popup alert if there is any new signal with new candle.Is any changes done in the popup alert?
Can you please reimplement the popup alert facility? Poppup alert should show based on signal preference selected in the indicator.

In v12 of buy sell line indicator if I select only alternate signal and save it.In popup alert its showing all the signal. If select only alternate Popup alert should show only alternate signal. Poppup alert should show based on signal preference selected in the indicator.

Regards,
Bedayan.

@bedayan,
thanks for the feedback.
I will fix the code, will take some time because I am very busy.

Edit: The dashboard is fixed. Latest version in post#1

Thanks man, very great instrument. respect. Can you add sound alert only for bullish or only for bearish.

Sorry, I don´t understand why you need that option.
It always takes a lot of time to implement new features and if it doesn´t make sense to me, there is no point in spending time for it.

This option for small timeframes, reversal pattern arrow has a better signal than continuation arrow, i think

There is an alert when a signal occurs.

Thanks fxtr51 for these indicators and EA. I am having problems when attaching to a chart, the chart shuts down immediately. I'm sure the problem is our builds aren't compatable.

I use IBXF, and I d/l a brand new platform. The build is 409. I believe I read that one of the more recent builds had some bugs in it. So, I'm thinking that it's probably up to the broker if they want to offer the latest build.

Eureka: This happened to me as well when using MT4 build 409, and if you selected "Experts" (quickly, before it was closing) you could see an error message about corrupted file. If this is the case, upgrade to build 416 or above, and it will work.

It's build 418 that was reported problematic with many EAs, however, the latest build, build 419 the bugs are corrected and you do not need to have any worries. Good luck!

fxtr51: You are my idol. I will allways be grateful for your work.

Yes, I can see that it's corrupted and needs to be recompiled with the same build that it was built. Normally, the updates come automatically and you can either accept or refuse the updates. However......I am not being offered any updates by my broker. I went to their site and registered for a new demo account and installed it. The build is 409 and that's it - no updates were offered.

Once I drag the template on my chart it shuts down the mt4....

You got something wrong somewhere.
I have now written the instructions again.

In the above quote I have requested for above dashboard development.Will it be possible by you to develop the dashboard?

If your Mt4 crashes when you attach the dashboard,
you need to make sure you have checked all of the following steps:

1. Use the latest build of Mt4.
Right now it is build 419
If you don´t have that, download a new installation from your broker
and allow it to update.

If your broker doesn´t offer build 419, call your broker or write him
and ask him about it. I cannot do all the work for you.
Brokers have live-chat or e-mail or telephone support.

2. In some weird cases, the OS (Operating System) of your PC needs to be installed new. Some OS have bugs and the only way to get all programs running is a new installation. This is the last step though, first check the other points.

3. Copy the indicator and the template in the correct folders.
One trader copied the indicator in the scripts folder and kept on doing that and wondered why it didn´work for him. That´s why I put the videos on post#1 for those who don´t know how to install an indicator on Mt4.

4. Shut down and restart your Mt4 after you copied the indicator into the experts/indicators folder.

5. Make sure you checked the correct options in the Mt4 menu.

Many forgot to check "Allow DLL calls" in Tools/Options/Expert Advisor tab and thus the Mt4 crashed.
After they checked it, the dashboard worked.


Apply the template to a new chart ----> and it should work.
If you selected many timeframes, it might take a few seconds
before the dashboard appears and has all checks done.
Depending on your PC, this might "freeze" your Mt4 a few
moments ( does not happen on my PC, but who knows ).

6. If you have Windows 7, don´t install your Mt4 into the normal
Programs folder where all program install by default.
That will crash your Mt4 with the dashboard (I don´t know
why, probably because the indicator is calling a windows dll
for the background color of the chart ( Mt4 doesn´t provide
that information ).

I got PMs about such crashes and as soon as the Mt4 was installed
outside of the Programs folder, the dashboard worked fine.
No crashes anymore.

Strange enough, one trader installed Mt4 inside the programs folder on his Windows7 installation and after he had all the other things correct,
the dashboard worked fine.

If the dashboard still doesn´t work after you have done everything above,
I have no idea why because I downloaded about 7 Mt4 installations from different brokers (Pepperstone,forex4you,OandaMt4, FXPro, Alpari, GoMarkets ...etc.) and the dashboard works perfectly on all of them, live or demo, doesn´t matter.

Update: Got a PM about IBFX AU. The dashboard is crashing the IBFX Mt4 (build 409).
I downloaded the Mt4 from IBFX AU, copied the dashboard indicator and the template, restarted it, applied the template .....
and it worked without problems.

bedayan, I don´t have enough time to do it.

Could you develop the dashboard to send me an alert to remind me what days to put the garbage out, and could you also create a function for it to start the coffee machine for when I wake up, also an alarm to go off on weekdays at 6am and weekends at 8am, keep in mind time zones for my region.

Would that be possible?
<insert sarcasm here>

Seriously.....the dashboard is fantastic and you deserve a huge round of applause.

@pgpb,
you gave me a good laugh.
Thanks to all who thanked me.

But ......

there is something I have to say:

There are professional coders on this forum who could have made the dashboard much better and much faster and without so many bugs than mine.
But they have to earn their income with coding EAs and indicators.

Some of them use the forum to help here or there for free in order
to find new clients and that is wonderfull and ok.

I am not a professional mql coder. During a project I often have to study
the mql book and look into indicators and EAs coded by others to
understand what they are doing and how to code certain algorithms.

I have learned 3 programming languages about 25 years ago and worked as a systems programmer, but then did other things and you can compare
it to learning French, Spanish and German languages if you are a US-citizen ....
will you be able to talk to a Chinese then in chinese language ?

Coding in mql without knowing the language is like walking in a dark room and having to construct a product.
Not exactly because the basic logic of a program is the same regardless of the programming language and some commands and even syntax are
similar or identical in all, but the graphical things in mql are special and
for the dashboard and other indicators that is the main obstacle.

That´s why it costs me so much time while a professional mql coder
will do the same thing in 5 minutes.

And asking professionals to help me for free is like a beggar who goes around hoping to find some help. Why should they help me for free ?
They only do it if it is of some advantage to them and I don´t blame them
for it. Everything has its price, there is no free lunch.

So the price for me is obvious and for you all who use it too.
It isn´t the best it could be and some requests are beyond my skills
or time capacity.

As long as there is nothing better, we all have to live with it the way it is.

Please don´t post more comments like "thank you. You did a great job ... etc."
I appreciate your kindness but it only clutters the thread.

If you think you cannot hold back, please send me a PM.
Thank you.
