This update doesn't "fix" anything. It just allows you to select which of the 28 pairs you want displayed:
Some things to note: 
Please report back any bugs - I haven't had the opportunity to test it very much
Some things to note:
- A pair must be set to show in order to receive alerts for that pair.
- All 28 pairs are still required for the calculations (so the numbers should be exactly the same whether you view 1 or 28 pairs)
- You may see this screen and wonder why the calculations haven't been performed. The reason is that csDash is still waiting for other pairs to update that aren't showing in the list.

Does your broker offer EURNZD and NZDCAD? If not, unfortuantely csDash will not work for you

Moving into the experimental realm: rolling time frames.
The formula for csDash is well known. It is based around the bid ratio i.e. where is the current Bid relative to the High and Low.
The "problem" with this is that the High-Low range is very narrow at the start of a new bar and slowly gets wider as time progresses.
Consider the classic D1 timeframe that the original Excel spreadsheet used.
Last Friday at 00:05 there was a 6.3 pip range on the D1 bar. This meant that 1 pip of movement was ~16% on bid ratio.
At 04:00 there was a 20.7 pip range on the D1 bar. This meant that 1 pip of movement was ~5% on bid ratio.
And at the close of the D1 bar on Friday, there was a 145.5 pip range on the D1 bar. This meant that 1 pip of movement was <1% on bid ratio
The net result of all of this: things go a bit crazy at the start of a new bar and slowly settle down as time progresses.
What the next version of csDash will let you do is roll timeframes.
So, instead of working from the D1 bar, you can work from the last 24 H1 bars. By doing so, the calculation is always done on 24 hours of data... not however long through the daily bar that time happens to be.
The results will be different during the day, but should show the same figures at the end of the day:
(for the observant ones who spotted that I only used 23 bars - it was a Friday and my broker doesn't have a 23:00 H1 bar but I wanted to show the same result. Normally, this would be set to 24)
If you don't like the idea of rolling timeframes, simply set the timeframe count to 1 and it will behave like it used to.
There have now been 2 substantial changes to csDash without being tested on the open market, so bugs to be expected!

Hi honestknave
You ARE moving quickly - seems many permutations are possible
Just to clarify - is the current forming bar included in the eg. 24?
Does the circled pairs with incomplet B/R means it is still forming/not enough data yet?
(I have H4 + 6 in example)
Pls advise
Thanks / Cheers
