Hello,
I have a little problem with this ea. How to set up this? It doesn't work for me because it is an error: Pair(s) not available from your broker. How to fix that?
Cheers!

Hi Honestknave

may is it possible to sort the CSM from left to right (strong to weak)? Would be awesome, so you have the strongest and weakest on the first look and we have not to "search".

Thanks in advance greetz Michael

Hi Honestknave

I checked the ea for a few minutes again this morning.(Unfortunately something popped up which will limit my forex time this week)

It is a lovely piece of work - the pair selection works wonderful - I long thought of asking somebody to just put
a pair selection table next to something like the Giraya but never got to it.

Currently it "throws away/loses" any other indicator like eg. Newscal if you put it on the same chart as the ea - perhaps
that is because it is centered?(I save a template but while putting it on a chart just the ea is displayed - build 765)

The top table(CSM) is in nice alphabetical order - BUT I keep on noticing the numerical values that is in random order.
Perhaps you could also consider making it more "dynamic" and sort it in numerical decreasing order(strong to weak) from left to right keeping
the same funtionality as current?

Thanks again for sharing.
Don't limit yourself!!

Hi Honestknave

I forgot(I am getting old)

Perhaps a final personal thought - keep this SIMPLE - I see a lot of impressive dashboards and stuff here so overloaded with info
which I will bet my last penny that all that info is not considered for a trade and is just wasted.

Cheers

Hello ksiadz, mwsteiner's suggestion is my first thought too. What do you see in your experts log tab?

Hello mwsteiner, thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely consider this for a later release.
At the time, my goal was simply to port the spreadsheet "as is".
But I agree that sorting them is more intuitive (its big brother does sort them and I prefer it)

Thanks for the comments. Yes, it does takeover the chart it is applied to (which is what I needed at the time) but I will reduce its dominance in subsequent releases. And change the positioning options.

Just a quick one: thanks for the support and positive feedback everyone.

I've got a huge backlog of projects at the moment so it may be a while until I get around to adding new features.

However, bug fixes I'll always get done ASAP.

Hi Honestknave,

using your dashboard, thanks also to the big ride of AUD, yesterday I could recover a dd of almost 10% .
It's a great tool, to handle with care, but yet another weapon in our arsenal.

Thank you for sharing,

Maybe colour coding the difference in strengths greater than a certain number would help to pick out tradeable pairs.

I had a chance to look over csDash this weekend and have made some changes.

There is nothing wrong with the old csDash, so if you dont like the changes you can continue to use the old version.

I haven't tested the new version on an open market, so my apologies in advance if some glitches become apparent.

It is now an indicator (not an expert)
Why? You can only add 1 expert per chart but you can add numerous indicators.
What does this mean? You need to put csDash.ex4 into your Indicators folder.

The visuals are more configurable
Why? User preference.
What does this mean? You can now specify the colors:

You can also specify the corner (or centered like before) and offsets. Note: x is a horizontal measurement. y is a vertical measurement. Remember to change the position settings if you are adding multiple instances to the same chart!

You can now sort the currencies and/or the pair list
Why? User preference.
What does this mean? You can sort currencies from strongest to weakest (unsorted means they are ordered alphabetically).
Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: sortcurrencies.png Size: 56 KB

You can sort pairs on their differential (unsorted means they are ordered alphabetically)
Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: sortpairs.png Size: 122 KB


You can toggle between condensed view (just the currency strengths) and expanded view (all the pairs listed)
Why? Takes up less space.
What does this mean? Click anywhere on the currency (top) section to toggle between condensed and expanded view.

Coloring and alerts modified
Why? Consistency and user preference
What does this mean? Set the upper and lower thresholds for currency strength

Set the differential threshold
Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: pairscol.png Size: 87 KB

Alerts now trigger on the following criteria:

  1. Spread below max

  1. (Base currency >= Upper Threshold && Quote currency <=Lower Threoshold) or Differential >= Differential Threshold


(the reverse for sell)

Bid ratio display modified
Why? It wasn't particularly intuitive
What does this mean? Bid ratio is where the current bid price is relative to the high and low.
The start of the bar is 50%.
If the bar is colored red, it means the bid ratio is below 50%. The longer the bar, the closer to 0%. Below 25% is a solid red. Between 25 and 50% is hollow red.
If the bar is colored green, it means the bid ratio is above 50%. The longer the bar, the closer to 100%.
Above 75% is a solid green. Between 50-75% is hollow green.
This is quite hard to explain in words, so in this screenshot I have adjusted the spread column to display the actual bid ratio values. You can compare the actual bid values to how they look on the bar.

Reached maximum number of attachments on previous post, so here is the file.

I've tried to keep things as simple as possible, but adding more options is inevitable when you try to cater for different people's preferences.

There is now no need to set the broker prefix/suffix because this is done automatically. So at least there are 2 less options there

Please can you post up a screenshot?

Edit: I think my naming is ambiguous (I've updated my initial post).
By sorted I mean "sorted by strength". Unsorted means alphabetically (which just happens to be the order I entered the pairs in).

I see that for Sort currencies, true is sorting from strongest to weakest
but true/false for Sort pairs applied to which column?

You're welcome pax.
I apologise because the naming is ambiguous... by sorted I mean "sort by strength". Unsorted means alphabetically.

For the pairs, sorting is by the differential (i.e. buy-sell=differential).
If the base currency is very strong while the quote currency is very weak, you will see a large differential.
The same is true for the reverse.
