Hi honestknave, Thank you for your contribution to the community! If you may allow me to give a small piece of constructive feedback. I see GoldTheHun raised the issue that not all pip's are the same and suggested using a Z-score on the delta's. This seems a complicated way to solve the issue. An easier way (seems to me) is to divide the pips into the ATR value to give you a % of ATR. This will normalise all the results to their respective timeframes and currency pair ranges. Calling iATR is a piece of cake so the code amendment should be minor....
Interesting thots Innate. I'm sure Andrew will look into your suggestion and if valid will incorporate in future update. Thank you

@Dweb

You have AUDCAD missing. You need all 28 pairs for it to work. ( maybe until the next update where you can deselect missing pairs).

@ Honestknave.

A suggestion if you could change colour blocks on the right hand side columns, all EUR pairs shades of Blue, GBP pairs shades of green, AUD pairs shades of red, NZD shades of brown , Cad pairs another colour etc.

It will help me to highlight quickly movements of the main currencies.
At the moment, I only seem to look at the top 4/5 pairs of the table.
Still a great tool.

AUDCAD is not missing as you show, try deleting indicator and try loading it on a EURUSD blank chart.

It may be the suffix ... As you can see, a dot is there behind each pair.

Hello dweb,

It looks like your broker has a mixture of no suffix and suffix pairs, which is confusing the autodetect.

Please select
Broker Prefix/Suffix Set Manually
Broker Suffix .

(leave Broker Prefix blank)

Yes but cannot give option to select all 9 TF Again, if I achieve #2 then I'll also look at this. But as things stand it is so big it already covers most people's monitors!!

Thanks Moti,

The problem with all 9 timeframes is that the width would be far wider than most people's screens.

The font is Courier New; I only use monospaced fonts.

Again, I'll definitely give all these ideas thought. The problem at the moment is a lack of time which means I have to prioritize which pieces of the code I focus on. My priorities are allowing users to select which pairs get displayed and dealing with missing pairs.

Hello Innate, thanks for your suggestion. I've left this one open for debate to get some feedback from the end users as to how they want the code modded. Any more feedback will be greatly appreciated

Hello Shabs,
George and I did discuss this in the early days. The problem is that every currency appears twice. So, if you consider EURGBP... does it get colored Blue for EUR or green for GBP? I did try splitting each pair, but it was such a mess of color we went for 28 unique colors:

Hi honestknave, it works as instructed! The non-suffix pairs are internal pairs the broker uses. now its time to learn. Thanks to all for your input

I needed to add a suffix manually also. Glad it is working for you now. It's a great tool. That's a good eye for detail to see the '.' after the pairs FerruFX.

Not the idea that I had in mind. I can see why you did not go for this.

I meant the whole currency pair in one colour, so EURUSD, EURJPY, EURGBP, EURCHF, EURCAD, EURAUD & EURNZD are all different shades of Blue for example.
GBP pairs similarly would be 7 pairs all in shades of green and then AUD would only be 5 pairs , NZD pairs would be only 4 pairs, USD pairs would only be 3 pairs
looking at your grid. JPY pairs would not be needed as they are already accounted for in the above pairings.

The whole block is coloured as it is now, but with significance given to the first currency of the pair. It would highlight if EUR, GBP, AUD, or NZD pairs are in the
ascendency or descendency by seeing the principle colour shading at the top of the stacks.
Example All blues would mean EUR strength/weakness all across the pairs , which would tie in with the green/red blocks at the left hand side of the screen.

Just something that would work for me visually, seeing a dominance of any one colour. I hope you understand the idea.
It never gets easier, you just get better

Do you know you can also use the MADdash for MA crossovers??? Yes you can - just input the MAs in one M1 and another M1, and do the same for the TFs you want.
Do you also know that you can create your own short term, medium term and long term trends out of the dashboard? Yes you can - see my example below. Reduce the fonts to accommodate the 3 dashboards.

NB
My father just passed on to be with our Lord and Saviour in the early hours of yesterday morning and may not be as available as before but will pop in once in awhile. He was 83 years old. One of his most frequent and precious words to me was - "One must learn daily as if he's going to live forever, and live your life as if you're going to meet God tomorrow." I thank God for his life and legacy, and trust to see him some day.

Cheers, and God bless
