Hi,

Here is a script to delete selected objects by its name pre-fix.

Also limiting the number of bars in your history and charts can also help with improving cpu load resources.

Try it.

Sorry to nitpick but unclear and imprecise error descriptions eventually drives one off the deep end...

Does that mean:
1. You are programming a new indicator that is a combination of the two?
2. You are trying to put the two indicators in the same sub window on a chart?
3. You are trying to put the indicators on the same chart?

but MT4 keeps crashing and won't restart
How can you be doing said things if MT4 will not start?

Sorry about that you are correct it wasn't clear. I am trying to do what Genaja did with his charts by adding the M15 and M5 GMTS Matrices together:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...04#post5856204

I add the M15 and M5 GMTS matrices on a M5 chart, I then save the template. When I try to apply it to the next chart(s) by applying the template It hangs MT4 and I cannot restart. If I only have the M5 GMTS Matrix it seems to be fine.

Thanks for the assist and the hard work!

You do not seem to be adding them together, option 1 and 2. You seem to be putting them on the same chart, option 3.

Make sure you have chart data for ALL the timeframes you want to use by opening up charts with those timeframes before loading the MTF indicators.

nice thread, thanks, the new indi are really helpful, and a much needed upgrade from the original matrix.
however, it has the same shortcomings:
very few trading possibility (altho good ones), the alert is in the wrong indi, on a time frame too small, we basically have to stay in front of the chart 24/5 if we don't want to miss an opportunity, thats not practical.

can we have an alert once the: asctrend 2tf + asctrend1i + heiken ashi + M15 stoch have the same color ?

Good Morning,


Firstly to Xaphod a special thanks for this thread and your hard work, amazing to think that you hand over your work to people for free use, well done and thank you. Also to the whole Genesis Matrix Trading team a huge thanks and well done to all of you.


I posted the below on the MT4 navigational tips and techniques thread about a week ago and until now no reply, I was wondering if someone here can help.

PS I am running windows 7 but I don’t think it’s a compatibility problem.

Hello All,

I have a problem with my MT4, when I start my MT4 it defaults to VIEW where by all the Toolbar options are unchecked. i.e.) Standard, Charts, Line Studies, Periodicity and also Charts is unchecked see (attachment 1.)


What I want is when I shut down the MT4 for it to save the view as shown in (attachment 2), i.e.) the VIEW Toolbars to save the checked options.


I imagine this will be simple for someone to answer I am sure I have missed a basic fundamental save type of setting the truth is it’s been bugging me for weeks and I cannot sort it. I hope someone can help and I certainly appreciate your time.


Kind Regards

Anthm

You are welcome.

Install/reinstall MT4 outside the default 'program files' folder.

Set terminal.exe properties to:
- Compatibility mode XP SP3
- Run this program as an administrator.

Ok thank you,

I have re installed and saved the installation in a folder created by myself i.e. not in Program Files.

I have saved all my profiles, templates and indicators in the appropriate places and it seems to be working it has solved my problem however I do have a few different bugs in my installation.
I cannot understand the part where I was to Set terminal.exe properties to Compatibility etc.I don’t know how to get into the window to do this, I know RJ has a link to this procedure and I have read it but I still don’t know how to get into the “SET TERMINAL.EXE” window to change the setting.
Could you please give me some guidance?
Oh and one more thing I still have the old installation sitting in Program files do I need to delete this or can it just sit there? How does MT4 know to read from my new installation folder instead of the old program files instillation?

Thanks for your help and of course proving my lack of computer knowledge and skill so I do very much appreciate your guidance.

Regards
Anthm

Edit.
Actually I am almost there I have it running as program administrator etc. Its looking a lot healthier

I am left with only one question

I still have the old installation sitting in Program files do I need to delete this or can it just sit there? How does MT4 know to read from my new installation folder instead of the old program files instillation?

If it works, you probably don't need to change the compatibility settings.

Right click on terminal.exe -> select properties -> click compatibility tab.

You can delete the old version or let it sit there. Make sure you have copied all the file you may need if you delete it. Profiles, history, indicators etc.

If you run the terminal.exe in the old directory, it runs the old installation.
If you run the terminal.exe in the new directory, it runs the new installation.
You can have both.
The icon on the desktop was probably points to the latest installation.

Hi Folks,

Returning to GenMatrix after some months, and have questions. Kindly see the chart pic.

1. I get all the colors on my candles (have Heiken Ashi in my Indi list.) White-Green, white-red, even red-green (see bar 5, left from latest bar 0.) Am I getting some superposition of mt4 and HA candles? What's the interpretation here if so?

2. Where would I use/put the May 2013 additions of Heiken Ashi Tape and ASCTrend indis? (realjumper doesn't seem to use them.)

3. Does the Matrix Signals give signals based on M5 or M15, or a combo? I thought M5 from the doc, but noticed that the buy signal was very weak (almost grayed out) when M5 was all buy and M15 was 2/2 buy/sell arrows.
(Don't seem to be able to take a pic of the mt4 chart with the Matrix Signals also displayed.)

4. Is anyone thinking of building an EA since the rules seem pretty clear? E.g., BUY when lining up the 4-arrow GMTS Dash/Matrix, AND looking for A. M5 Stock curling up from 20/30, AND B. M15 Stoch strong 65-80.

Cheers,
Athar.

Set the chart type to bar chart or line chart depending on you preference.

The basic principle is, if you have to ask, you are not qualified to use it. Use the standard template and trade like RJ does and you will beat the market. Or don't you think his win/loss ratio in his 'tests' (515, M1) is good enough?

Well, on the second page of the doc you have the timeframe setting on the top of the page. That is your timeframe.
Weak signals means 3 in a row. Strong signals means 4 in a row.

Here is an exercise. Fire up a simulator like LFH. Run through a few weeks trading mechanically like a robot would do. Use the result of that exercise to decide the viability of an EA.

Xaphod,

1. My question was on candles if you have an answer. I don't use bars/lines.

2. If RJ has a great method, why are you building all these new fangled indies
anyway that he does not (want) to use? Do you think you can beat RJ????
Now I did try loading these new indies on my chart from Navigator- but they
seem to overlap and clutter over existing indies- a bit of doc and helpful notes
certainly would help. Nobody here is a rocket scientist.

3. I did read the doc on Post #1. My question was different.

4. All EAs, like trading strategies or indis, are created different. There is no
evidence backtesting or 'simulation' actually work. Unless you build something, you
really wouldn't know. I was trying to solicit your opinion, giving your coding skills.

Athar.

If I may Xaphod?

1. If you use the template as supplied, you wouldn't need to ask this question. If you mess with something, don't expect someone else to waste their time trying to figure out what you did.

2. Let me be crystal clear here.....Genesis would not exist without Xaphod. All the indicators and the Matrix were engineered by Xaphod (and Cody_r), not me. Again, if you apply the template as supplied, you would not be having these issues. Any extra indicators as supplied on this thread by Xaphod are 100% compatible with the Genesis System.....because they have created for it. No one else has any issues, and that ought to tell you something!

3. Answered by Xaphod.

4. If you studied the Genesis system at all, you would know that there is a level of discretion involved....as there is in any good system....and as such an EA will not work and we are not going to waste one moment even considering the idea.

As a closing note.....show some respect when posting here and addressing Xaphod, or in fact anyone in this or any other thread. If you want respect....show respect.

It was actually chart superposition (display of both Heiken Ashi and mt4 candles), and a bit of explanation would have gone a long way !

To those who might have a similar problem:

1. Go to Chart > Properties> Colors Tab and set Line Graph color to black, for a black background; or white for a white background.

2. Then go to Chart>Properties> Common Tab and deselect "Chart on foreground", then click on the Line Chart radio button (changing from candlesticks.)

This way you will not be displaying the mt4 candlesticks/line/bars, which will otherwise be superposed on your Heiken Ashi candles giving the funny appearance as on my chart pic above. The display change to line chart combined with the change to background color disappears any mt4 tick readings. You are now left only with the intended Heiken Ashi candles display.

Of course if you don't like the red (down)/ white (up) colors on your HA indie, you can go to the Indicators menu, and edit the HA indie colors to your choice, as, e.g., red (down)/ green (up) I did, for the standard appearance.

To RJ:

I do consider you a courteous, funny person with a great contribution to FF, and clearly a good manager of your own thread. Which is why I came back to GenMatrix. It does work, unlike many others heavily subscribed to, and well touted, anywhere online.

But, I do believe I was polite, did explain my questions, and regardless of whether Xaphod is your prime mover, the man is a bit short on courtesy. He might be an Einstein, but communication does help. Even folks who are spending their own time to help others for free need to be sympathetic. Or, simply, they need not respond. Life goes on.

BTW, if Xaphod's indies were totally accurate and would need no additional help/explanation, there would be no postings on this thread, or , for that matter, any indie updates ! The very fact that Xaphod has created additional (perhaps very useful) indies is itself a violation of your own rules of sticking to one standard template for all. As soon as this rule is violated, there naturally would be inquiries, some even silly-sounding. But as they say, there are no silly questions.

Hope you will appreciate what I just said. There are vocal people here like those of us responding, but a huge silent majority as well. Let's all respect them too. We owe it to everyone else, regardless of how much volunteering some of us have done (and I do appreciate both yours and Xaphod's volunteering.) Having been a tech manager, and having hired/fired dozens-hundreds, I do keep my emotions for my fellow contributors separate from my work.

Athar.

And this just illustrates that you're not reading and/or understanding things at all. The additional indicators here are merely different ways of showing the same thing. Some people (for instance) like the arrows on their charts, some like the ASCTrend Matrix.......both show exactly the same thing but in a different format....same for the GMTS-Dasboard. The information is exactly the same as it would be if the user chooses to flick between TF's, but with the Dashboard there is no need to do so.

Further, I have always, right from Post #1, given my blessing for any or all of the indicators here to be used on the standard template.....because they display the same data in a different format.

RJ,

I hear you, and I don't want to hog this thread.

But I did read carefully: my point is that a little more documentation (e.g., with Xaphod's May 2013 ASCTrend install and the Heiken Ashi "Tape") would be helpful. If someone has the time to dig up that doc for me, a link would be great (I must have missed big time.)

Regardless of whether one indie set replaces another fully, it does create options and thus the need for explanation. Your single standard has morphed into (a) multiple template(s.)

Athar.
