Hi !

I‘m looking after an indicator that should look something like this.

This indicator should allow me to confirm my rules (indicatores) manually with checkbox. See the picture.

I put an indicator that could help, I hope.

Thank you
Best regards

The problem is, tho, in MT4 one indicator cannot add another indicator window on-the-fly. The check boxes are possible, and making it work with the EMA is possible, too. But every other indicator you mentioned requires a seperate window (subwindow at the bottom of main chart).

In theory, if you already had those indicators attached to the chart, then I could call a system library to find the MT4 window, and possibly-albeit doubtfully-find the subwindow, and when the box is unchecked, use the library to dynamically hide (shrink) the subwindow, but with more than one indicator to choose from, it seems like it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to do.

Seems like a lot of work for a coder when you could just add the indicators yourself and make a couple templates to simulate this checkbox-hide-unhide feature that you want.

MT5, on the other hand, is whole new can of worms where an indicator like that is not only possible, but probably already exists.

Regards.

That picture is made all with Photoshop. I don't have that indicator.

A lot of people say things can not be done ..... in MQ4 but in 5 you can ..... just a lack of creativaty on they part.

What you show in the picture can not only be done but in a high quality GUI then you have shown in your prototype. but why not use one of the meny dash boards already avalible, that will give you the same information automaticly?

I dont see what a manual check list on the screen will help your trading, You can use a paper check list and accomplish the samy thing.

Yes, it's true, this can be done also using only a piece of paper. And I did it.
It's only a trick to respect the rules. I lose sometimes because I don't respect the rules. I prefer to see that "tool" on my charts, because my eyes are there, on my charts. It's a psicological thing.

Thank you. It's good. It would be more fast to set true / false from chart, but it's good anyway.

Thank you, again.

I wrote a small executable that will do what you want and is custimizable, with the ability to have multiple lists. You can even have MT start it within MQ4 code with the use of the Shell command. or by creating a shortcut as the example. This will not make you profitable, its more of a toy.

Install the complete folder 'CheckMate' that is in the zip file as a unit as all the files and folders it contains are needed and must be present for it to run. The file named 'Before Trading.ccm' is an example of a list file that is created with this program. When the list is up on the screen you must right click on the window for options. The help line appears in the status bar so turn it on to see the help. Play with it you cant break it and its quit simple to run. It even has short cut keys by pressing the alt key.

Notice to others the zip file contains an executable and if you donot trust me then do not download it.
