Disliked{quote} Hi there. First, thanks a lot for this amazing maddash. It was working beautifully until yesterday evening when i close the chart where it was loaded. When i now try to load it again I receive the very same messagge and have the very same problem indicated by Greatness and Laico. I have updated all the history, and this does not seem to be the problem. Attached is copy of the journal, which says "experimental version expired". Can anyone help? Thanks Have a good day!! {image}Ignored

{quote} Hello yes I've just noticed this but it makes columns mixed,and my search for retracement becomes less clear 'cos I like to see the columns in the tab in the proper order M5-M15-H1-H4 When I tried to match M5 and H1,columns were crossed and not in the right order anymore,just like M5-H1-M15-H4 I hope you understand btw ,great piece of software,thumbs up for you and MERRY XMAS EVERYBODY
honestknave was it you who answered me on mql4.com? Cant send you message.
I have this message by using DBMUlti-Dashboard with the MADash. It sasy this: Incomplete daily range calcualtion (1) on PAIR What is wrong?
I am not sure that the ADR calc is working. I put it on that setting and kept getting 0 divide errors: 2016.01.06 18:06:46.846 MADdash USDJPYi,M30: uninit reason 1 2016.01.06 18:05:43.085 MADdash USDJPYi,M30: zero divide in 'MADdash.mq4' (252,37) 2016.01.06 18:05:43.080 MADdash USDJPYi,M30: Incomplete Daily Range calculation (0) on NZDCADi 2016.01.06 18:05:42.641 MADdash USDJPYi,M30: initialized 2016.01.06 18:05:42.632 MADdash USDJPYi,H1: uninit reason 3 2016.01.06 18:05:02.223 MADdash USDJPYi,H1: zero divide in 'MADdash.mq4' (252,37) 2016.01.06...
Often this just needs the history to be updated and the warning goes away.
The zero divide error is a coding error I made
I'll fix it on the next release. In the meanwhile, the problem will go away once the history is loaded.{quote} Hi Honestknave, I am quite impressed by your MAdash and CSdash dashboards. Easy to understand and absolutely no need to learn how to do technical analysis. I am majorly a currency options trader. I am trading in directionless currency future options. The major advantage with using fx options is that one doesn't have to enter stop-loss positions and is left with a lot of room for making money in spite of being wrong several times. It is comparatively quite less stress-free trading. In directionless trading, one has to wait for three months...
{quote} Shalom I went through the MAdash thread by Honestknave and yesterday posted my views on Page 54 (post 1061). I just finished reading through the early parts of the thread and find you have the right ideas. You have done pioneering work on Moving averages and I feel if your MA distance ideas are implemented with fx options it can turn into a consistent income plan and with less worry without relying on stop losses as risk management tool. I hardly do directional trades with fx options but your ideas and the availability of the MAdashboard...

{quote} Hello 919gilead & honestknave.............. Can you kindly sum up Calculation of this MADdash in a pdf / word / excel page.......... Compile with same mt4 build used for v1.28....v1.30 does not attach to chart without new terminal build update..... Show just 1 unsorted Currency stack & only Strength Bars (without Currency stack) under TF columns M1 to MN1.....in a separate sub-window/corner Regards......
{quote} Hello...... 919 + HK.............nice MADdash...... Pls squeeze it to quarter size to fit on quarter screen.....below is how to shed off 50% redundancy.......... Reduce pair names to 2 characters....EURUSD=EU........CHF=F......Show pairs as buttons & pressing opens a chart of that TF.... Convert all Numbers into variable size colored Bars.....Graphics do easy Visual comparision......Nobody reads so many numbers... Show GBPAUD as AG inside AUD block & reverse all Numbers for Uniform visual effect of Aussie's Stregnth....but it will be GA...
{quote} Coder does not want to give it for free.....
It was written, updated and maintained entirely as a pro bono offering to the community at FF. There is zero gain to me - in fact, it is a net loser for me because I don't even use it...
I won't share the source code for the reasons I've already outlined. You only need to look here to see a recent example of what I'm talking about
In any event, the use of <include> files would make it impractical to supply the source.

Thanking both HonestKnave and 919gilead for their time and generosity. Happy new year in advance!
{quote} honestknave, What a great job you and your team have done with the MADdash indicator. I have traded here at FF since 2005 and have seen many selfless coders, but IMO, you and your team get the GOLD Medal...for this work of art and coding ingenuity...... I have read through this thread from page 1 and it seems that about every couple of pages you have freely given your time for improvements of this, already great indicator. In reference to the Expiry dates, please stay around for a long, long time and keep this project active. {quote} Thanks...
{quote} Thank you for this indicator. I use it everyday for trading, not as an indicator to base my entry but it tells me which pair is the safest to trade with volatility. I hope you will continue to provide the newer version as the old one expires. Hopefully, just release a non expiring version even without a sourecode. Thanks for everything.
I agree that Maddash is an outstanding piece of work. currently using it as a plugin for autotrading its signals with aeseme's dashboard and it is generating close to consistent green trades. thanks honestknave {quote}
{quote} Good indicator dan useful Thanks

Hello, Last week i had MADdash working beautifully, and now it will not load up at all even after re-installing the Indicator. Can anyone help please. Its a fantastic Indicator when it works.
Hi All - is there any chance that someone can post the latest version of MADDASH, all previous versions have worked fine but I am having no success with the latest (post 1041) version. Thanks in advance
Please do the following:
Download the latest version (1.30) from here and add it to the correct indicators folder.
Add MADdash to a chart but please make sure you check the version number. Occasionally the indicator has not been added to the correct folder.
If you still have problems with MADdash, please post what you see in the Experts log:

Hi Honest - thank you very much i will give it a go. Appreciate your time v much Dang it - downloaded - placed in indicators in the mql file and still nothing when dragged onto chart. Struggling here
When you drag MADdash onto a chart, you will be presented with a window. What version is shown under the about tab?
This will help establish whether version 1.30 ended up in the correct folder.

Hi Honest - when I click on it it says windows needs the programme that created it. So I'm afraid I cant even answer your question. Its almost like the file is empty. Like i mentioned before - I did the same with your previous versions and they worked like a dream. So I am a little frustrated. The folder icon appears a blank white. I will try to post a screen shot - thanks again
Don't try to click the program - Windows won't know how to open ex4 files.
You need to download the file (it will normally end up in your Downloads folder).
Then, from inside Metatrader you need to click File > Open Data Folder.
A window will pop open.
Double click on the MQL4 folder and you should see something like this:
Now you need to drag the MADdash file from your Downloads folder into your Indicators folder.
Finally, restart MT4.

{quote} I understand what you mean and I'll give this consideration for future releases. Many thanks for the suggestion. {quote} Quite possibly (I use the same handle there) - do you still need help? {quote} {quote} The "Incomplete daily range calculation" warning means that the terminal could not find enough daily bars for your setting e.g. you set 30 and it can only find 29. Often this just needs the history to be updated and the warning goes away. The zero divide error is a coding error I made
Just saw your post. Glad you have ended your chosen exile. George and you have really produced a masterpiece, a big help for retail traders.
Not only this, both of you are good human beings and humble - a rare species not found easily. I hope George becomes active like before now that you are back.
Thanks to MADash I have shifted to spot fx and have been making regular money on a daily basis. I don't follow any signals. But for a big-picture person like me luckily you have provided moving graphs and color blocks of currency groups to enable me use my trading sense. Almost all the trades done for the last two weeks have resulted in profit. My TP is from 10 to 15 pips. I am attaching a picture of the trades done on IB an hour ago.
I will become a fan of EAs the day a coder can capture intuition and discretion of a trader via artificial intelligence and code a futuristic indicator. Until then I keep away from EAs because they have put big holes in my pocket previously.
My suggestion to you is please code two indicators , one for stoploss and another for takeprofit so that both can alert the trader. Input switches can be for pips,
reversal of trend and similar situations both of you can think of . The user can decide when to take loss and when to take profit based on push/email/chart alerts.
God bless both of you and Shalom
Practice makes a person perfect

Hi Honest - thank you for the very comprehensive reply. Step by step this is exactly as I have done it both for the latest version and previous but for some reason Its just not working. I think I am going to have to sit on the sidelines until another version of maddash comes out as I am now wondering if this is an issue with my computers. Truly appreciate your help and time on this - best regards - oh and yes sorry i only clicked on the file to show you what I get. There is no f symbol in the folder icon as in your image - mine is just white - plain...
Firstly go File > Open Data Folder
Then into the MQL4 folder
Then into the Indicators folder
Delete out everything you can see in there that relates to MADdash. You might see some things like MADdash(1) or MADdash(2). Delete them all.
Now go into your downloads folder and delete everything in there that relates to MADdash. Again, you might have something like MADdash(1) or MADdash(2). Delete them all.
Restart your MetaTrader Terminal.
Download the MADdash file from the link again. Check that it is in your downloads folder. If it says something like MADdash(1) you must have missed some when you deleted the old ones.
Keep the downloads folder open.
Now, from inside MetaTrader again go File > Open Data Folder.
You should now have 2 file explorer windows open... one with Downloads showing and one with the MetaTrader folder showing.
Go into the MQL4 folder then Indicators.
You should have something like this.
Now drag MADdash file into the Indicators folder.
If you deleted everything correctly at the start, it won't prompt you about overwriting.
Now restart MT4 and see how you get on.
