If you right click in marketwatch, then click "Show All", every pair that your platform supports will be shown. Any pairs missing or wrong way round, the indicator will not work. The forex pairs that the indicator requires are shown below: {image}
Quite right.
I've not got a terminal open to check, but once you open MADdash on a chart you can go back to marketwatch and hide all.
Any pairs currently being used (i.e. by MADdash) won't be hidden but it should get rid of all the other stuff.

I'll edit this if I'm wrong, once I get to a terminal to check

Ok, thanks for the answers. Looks like my broker supports all of these pairs except NZDCAD.
I'm sorry to hear that. If you change brokers, or your broker subsequently offers NZDCAD please come back again.

Nice Thread. Would not be better if the EA trade on its own rather than just showing alerts. That would be great.
Hello ProFXer,
Thanks for the suggestion. A trading EA will require a lot of consensus on trading rules. So for the time being, it'll just be an indicator. We'll see where it goes when people have some experience using it

Well done on creating the MADdash. (Honestknave & 919gilead). I have subscribed to the thread. It looks very promising. I do trade larger TF's, but I'm making adjustments (MA's etc) and we'll see how the MADdash goes. MADdash.....great name by the way. Congrats on the effort as well. Cheers Beermano
Thanks Beermano, I'm glad you like it.
I couldn't resist the naming

One thing i thought of adding: Edit the indicator to 20 seconds, instead of the current 1 second. This will lower cpu usage and really does one need to see the change of variables every second. To change this, go to indicators, edit the maddash and scroll down to 1000 ms change to 20000
Thanks for bringing this one up, Verve.
Like csDash, the refresh period will be very much down to the individual. Shorter timeframers will probably want a faster refresh. But too fast makes things bounce up and down on the screen.

Regarding cpu usage, if anyone is noticing a processing burden please let me know. The code is very simple and should take only a few milliseconds per cycle.
On my (very average) PC with several offline charts running at the same time, a cycle is <1ms for 99% of the time.

Hi honestknave, 919gilead and everyone Thank you for this masterpiece I have configured my copy to monitor high timeframes and it looks promising! My experience on installing the dash: - my broker has dotted and non-dotted pairs and MADdash fails to identify the dotted AUDCAD pair so I installed it on a demo acc broker {image} Here is my high timeframes settings: {image}
Thanks Karpa,
I'll be posting a revised version later on that should address the broker suffix/prefix issues.

{quote} I've solved this for now by using a standard Metatrader install and demo account for the datafeed - but obviously the data isnt the same as a broker's
Glad you got this sorted. The calculations do require all 28 pairs to be available I'm afraid

First, thanks for this amazing tool. I know how much hard work went into developing and testing it. Kudos! But, I can't get it to work due to the following error in the Experts tab: "AUDCADbo is not available from your broker." It is true that my broker does not offer AUDCAD binary option, but why is your indicator even looking for such a thing? Also, my regular pairs are suffixed with an "i". Will that be a problem as well? Thanks again! Dial
Thank you diallist.
There have been a few instances of the broker autodetect code picking the wrong prefix/suffix. I'm going to release an updated version of MADdash, hopefully today, that should give more control over this.

{quote} The indicator is calculating the results from the crosses of the major 8 currencies. Some brokers do not do all the 28 pairs, primarily some of the NZD, CHF or CAD pairs are missing. It takes only one pair missing for the indicator to show no result. Maybe Honestknave can have an exclusion setting in the indicator rather than looking for another broker with all pairs available. I have had no problems with suffixes on pairs, works fine.
Hello Shabs19,
You are absolutely correct that all 28 pairs are required for the calculation. I may consider the exclusion option at a later date, when I get more time available.

This looks very promising, fellas! Thanks for the hard work coding this beast.

I also had some trouble getting it to show up on the chart, turned out I only had to go to the Market Watch > Show All. Then it worked like a charm.

The colour palette also goes pretty neat with PVSRAs black tpl.

Is there any way to change the colours so I can also match it up with the white tpl?

Thanks a bunch!

A bug fix for people having issues with broker prefix/suffix detection.

I have changed the detection code and added an option to manually enter the prefix/suffix incase the automatic mode doesn't work for you.
