{quote} It's a demo account, so how can there be a liquidity problem? Besides, there is no slippage input. I've been trying to dump the nzdchf trade for over 6 hours. I can't get rid of it.
How do you think your broker is generating bid/ask/spread/volume etc. on you demo account, suck it out of his thumb ?

No slippage input is a programming oversight.

Point taken. But, after six hours of failed attempts, I"d say that isn't the problem, since this has never
happened on the 30-40 demos I've been running with FXCM. Plus, there's another forum member with
the same problem.

trades aren't closing correctly with close all functions and not even manually. It's a bug. Thanks Chicagorob for pointing it out.

For the developers and the sake of the speed of the dashboard(s) calculation and reaction time do some research on the mql functions ArrayCopyRates() and as an example from DingDong's previous post the use of the iMAOnArray() function to replace the iMA() call. Further 90% of the calculation done by the dashboards (those that are not PA related) have nothing to do with the current (open) bar but can be calculated using the previous closed bar. So if your smallest used timeframe is M1 you only recalculated those values once a minute on bar close....
IMAOnArray??? in an expert?? Does it give you correct values for any two consecutive ticks???????????? Try to avoid using IMAOnArray in experts. You are not gonna get correct values. Arrays in an indicator and in Experts have different meanings with respect to size.
Forex; the game of movements not the game of candles.

First of all, if you are calculating a MA every tick there is something wrong with you EA design.
As i said in a post after that, "use IMAOnArray on a bar close (new bar open) then you will have correct values.

The only time i use tick-level is to check the SL/TP or calculate PA.

It seems that many people go for the fancy looking dashboards and overlook the simple ones....

I have had the most success with Dashboard_Direction and secondly the HA Dashboard....

Why complicate things.....

Keep it simple.....

Dou you usually go with the trend or look for a reversal in your trades?
So for example: If all indicators on Eur/USD would u go for a buy (in direction of trend) or sell (against the trend)?

Yes ı mean that also. Just select the pair and control orders whatever you want .Becouse of this reason İ want button which opens that selected pair's template chart which is attached an ea that controls the order.

Wow, nice idea. I will keep that in mind. I haven't found THE system yet, even though I do have profitable trades once in a while, it usually goes back to the amount of money I started with etc. ...

How long do you usually keep your trades open? Minutes, Hours or even days?

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...36#post8232836

can an alert please be coded as per Luxing

"I want H4 and D1 to be in agreement and 2 x A, 2 x E, 2 x G, 2 x N to be in sync. That is, for a NZDJPY long, I will want the NZDUSD to line up (H4 and D1) or the NZDJPY to go hand in hand with AUDJPY. Thats correlation and sync in its most basic form."

for me though i want all candles in agreement not just h4 + daily. I also prefer all candles to have heiken ashi same color to be better sure of trend direction being established. the correlation part is tricky but here is an indicator swingman posted that maybe helps. http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...73#post8199073

​basically user should be able to settheiri own alerts that would be something truly amazing!

Those of you asking me for my version of the Dashboard:

Please wait. The code from the original dashboard(s) was very inefficient and difficult to navigate. Mine isn't perfect but it's a lot smoother and easier to reference. I've been tweaking my code and cleaning up the old stuff.

If you want my version of the dashboard, you have to understand some things:

(1) I'm not into excess crap signals and "magic" all over the place. My dashboard shows the original boxes for "intraday structure" (candle direction) and the original MA12 signal on the H4 and D1 periods. Every other column is simply strength measurements for higher time frames with an RSI filter (the red and green arrows on the strength meters).

(2) I'm not a short-term "get rich quick" scalper. The important information on my version of the dashboard is all for higher time frames. This may disinterest you.

(3) I don't auto trade, neither does my version of the dashboard. This also may disinterest you.

(4) I won't take requests to brutalize my version of the dashboard to make your "holy grail".

I got into this because I wanted a tool I can use to trade off of one screen for when I trade from my wife's office where I don't have my 4-monitor terminal. I don't need magic signals, bells, whistles, and 40 indicators built into 1 EA and I'm not going to waste my time coding it for other people any more than the professional coders on the forum would. If you're wondering why I haven't answered you in PM, it's because I actually trade and work with my wife at her company so, time isn't something I have tons of. I specifically designed my dashboard to monitor market conditions, not to give signals. A lot of you guys are looking for signals for short-term trading, or automated entries, my version of the dashboard doesn't do either of those things.

As you can see, it's virtually impossible to cater to everyone, especially when they're looking for the "perfect" dashboard. My work has been centered around holding positions for days, weeks, and months at a time while monitoring the overall market for signals to exit trades, not so much enter them. My strategy involves entering all pairs I trade simultaneously at the beginning of each new day and managing the inventory for a very discretionary amount of time.

If you still want my version of the dashboard, I'll upload it when I finish it.
