{quote} Many trades would been stopped out before reach the 4.2 pip target. If a SL get hit you would need like a 95% win rate? Please explain... thanks.
I neither know the system you use nor your trading style, but for me I have a good one with a pretty good winning rate. If it's not like that, I had to quit with it.

{quote} Pipdripper - Do you think we can replicate the Scalp and Swing settings with activating MA1/MA2 and so on with correct settings? Got any good results today?

@LFN
1. Scalp M1&M5 Candle Direction--- Use MA1 =true && Use MA2 = true
2. Swing M15-MN Candle Direction--Use MA3,MA4,MA5,MA6,MA7 = true

You can set true or false for all the 7 MAs.

Using dash V5n and setting it as you described in your quote, it has still yet to autotrade. I wonder if anyone else has been successful in getting to autotrade with just those settings?

Just started lurking here - looks very interesting.
Downloaded Dashboard - Power MeterV5n.ex4 , pg 33 and got: zero divide in 'Dashboard - Power Meter V5p.mq4'(2554,108).
Found what I think is the latest on pg 22, Dashboard - Power MeterV3_modGAP.mq4, got similar divide by zero on 1841.
Changed code like this, and now the Dashbaoard lites up like Christmas. Now, if I just understood what to do with it.
for (int i=0;i<ArraySize(TradePairs);i++) {
double tradePairsMODE_POINT = MarketInfo(TradePairs[i],MODE_POINT);
double pairInfoPipsFactor = pairinfo[i].pipsfactor;
double iClooseTriggerTFHM1 = iClose(TradePairs[i], trigger_TF_HM1, 1);
if(tradePairsMODE_POINT != 0 && pairInfoPipsFactor != 0) // comparing a double to 0 is bad programming practice
{
pairinfo[i].Pips = (iClose(TradePairs[i],PERIOD_D1,0)-iOpen(TradePairs[i], PERIOD_D1,0))/
tradePairsMODE_POINT/pairInfoPipsFactor;
pairinfo[i].Pipsprev = (iClose(TradePairs[i],PERIOD_D1,signals[i].shift+900)-iOpen(TradePairs[i], PERIOD_D1,0))/
tradePairsMODE_POINT/pairInfoPipsFactor;
} else {
Print("1. Divide by Zero, i: ",i,", MarketInfo(TradePairs[i],MODE_POINT): ",tradePairsMODE_POINT,", PipsFactor: ",
pairInfoPipsFactor,", iClose(TradePars[i], trigger_TF_M1, 1): ", iClooseTriggerTFHM1,", Pair = ",TradePairs[i]);
}
if (pairInfoPipsFactor != 0)
{
pairinfo[i].Spread=MarketInfo(TradePairs[i],MODE_SPREAD)/
pairInfoPipsFactor;
} else {
Print("2. Divide by Zero,i: ",i,", MarketInfo(TradePairs[i],MODE_POINT): ",tradePairsMODE_POINT,", PipsFactor: ",
pairInfoPipsFactor,", iClose(TradePars[i], trigger_TF_M1, 1): ", iClooseTriggerTFHM1,", Pair = ",TradePairs[i]);
}
if (iClooseTriggerTFHM1 != 0)
{
signals[i].Signalperc = (iClose(TradePairs[i], 1, 0) - iClooseTriggerTFHM1) /
iClooseTriggerTFHM1 * 100;
} else {
Print("3. Divide by Zero,i: ",i,", MarketInfo(TradePairs[i],MODE_POINT): ",tradePairsMODE_POINT,", PipsFactor: ",

To be honest, this thread is still not much old, few sites to read only and some other linked sites which are related to the topic.

Note: There is no shortcut in FOREX

{quote} Running 8 setups on v5c, 4 setups of v5i, 5 setups of HPs V3Q. And a lot more of EAs on more terminals. I Am using fixed tp and sl for better comparison between settings. Should we organise next weeks setups so we don't run the same ones?
Hi LFN,

That is surely a lot of tests to be running simultaneously. Are you using a desktop or a Laptop because running such number of test surely will require a lot of system resources considering the nature of these Dashboards making so much calculations on every single pair.

But that is really the best way to go, testing a variety of ideas and setups over a given period and then determining which is proving more profitable overall and I do really wish I had a system that is that robust to run so many tests simultaneously.

Using desktop. Feel free to PM if you want to see something special tested the coming week.

Hi guys, i've been following this thread closely but i'm unable to get the program running.
(Need guidance in setting this up :/) - read through the entire thread but still couldn't get it fixed - obvious noob here

So i'm currently using dtlase's latest dashboard - powermeter v5o
I understand that i'll require the excel sheet - speedometer_v4c
Now i'm stucked at the dwm.csv portion (believe me i've followed the instructions, maybe i missed something out?)

Correct me if i'm wrong.
1) Place the exporttoexceltimer.mq4 to MQL4 data folder under indicators.
2) a "DWM.csv" file is supposed to be generated under the files folder? = couldn't find this. Tried to start up the indicator on my MT4, thought it'll push start this but nothing. Pretty sure something went wrong here. Can someone kindly explain how to retrieve this DWM.csv file (i know i just need the path, so that i can input it in the excel and it should work but the file isn't appearing!)

Btw i've placed the powermeter v5o under the experts folder, tried to run it but no values are popping up. (so i believe it has got to do with the excel sheet?)

Would appreciate if someone can take out a few mins to craft out a guide on how to pump start this! Appreciate your kind assistance!

Best regards,
Kenji

[quote=kenjisoh;8614653how to pump start this!}[/quote] Your image looks just like mine did when I was getting the divide by zero error - for me, it was due to 3 pairs of the (28?) producing a zero value with Oanda (USDCAD, NZDJPY, GBPJPY). Check your "Experts" tab, and see if a divide by zero error is logged. If it is, see my post about 10 back. Those print statements will tell you exactly which pairs (and code statements) are creating the errors, and if you keep the divide by zero from happening with those if statements, the dashboard will come to life.

Jarfx, please let me know if you the Dashboard is taking trades automatically or are you trading manually??

I still do not understand why the Dash is not taking trades automatically, Friday evening when trying it, it should have placed a couple trades but did not. Still cannot figure out why.

Anyone able to help with this, it is much appreciated.
