Thanks! I will test and post results. I like the idea of a "Close" button as depicted in your picture.

{quote} Anything is possible with MT4 code. I have done many things and this by far is the easiest lol . So tell me exactly what you want to see. Are you refering to have the display show the TimeFrame or do you just want it to show the London Open you placed in the Inputs? Thnx Jess

xmess7,

Thank you. It worked nicely. Except one problem is "no display". Not sure why it is not displaying. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong that the EA would not display?

Bruce:
Try a different Pair... it really doesn't matter on which pair the ccfp and EA are on. The same pairs will processed.
Also how do you load the files? Do you 1st load the template and then the EA? Or do you first load the EA then the template?

In addition when you do load them, show what the EXPERTS tab has. Many times we can see in there any error messages that give clues.

The only other thing that I can think of is that you don't have the fonts. I use "weddings" and "Times Roman". I doubt it though, cause you are a on a windows machine right?

I setup a pepperstone (the broker I see on your post) demo account and loaded the ccfp template and EA with no problems (see image).

{quote} I noticed if i change the magic number from 0 to anything it does not display.
meepstone: I tried that and did not get any problems. If the magic number was not working you would still get the Display except it would be all zeros. That is cause
the EA will on;y count the trades that have the magic number listed in the inputs.

So sounds like u also have the same problem? Hmm.. I can understand if you were using the older version cause in the that version I put a return
right before the display of the info. So that return would just make the EA avoid presenting the display. Version 4 does not have that. Version 4 should display the info regardless of anything. Plus the code is so simple I can't see why it would not show the info. Like I mentioned to bruce it could be due to missing fonts but that is doubt full.

I'll take another look and see what I can add... I may just add a text representation instead.

UPDATE version 5

Bruce, Meepstone:
I made a little small adjustment to way it calculates the % profits. I was seeing a divide by zero and usually that stops the EA but this may be the reason some of you are no seeing the display. lets see if this does the trick.

If you don't see anything then do this: Hit Ctrl-B (objects list) and scroll down the objects window. Let me know if you see what I am pointing out in the image below:

Thnx Jess

xmess7,

Thank you for your suggestions. I had done almost all of them.
This time I did not change the Magic Number. I left it as is. It displayed ok. So next I changed only the Days of Week option... and it still displayed ok. Then I changed the Magic Number. and it did not display. So I changed the Magic Number back to 0 but it still did not display.
So I closed the chart and put the CCFp and the EA on again changing nothing. It displayed ok. But as soon as I change the Magic Number... No Display. So on my platform chart I can not use a different Magic Number than the 0.

Also the EA shows the Profit/Loss totals of both Magic Number entries and No Magic numbers.

Also when adjusting the SL after entries-- the EA closed the correct Magic Number 0, but also closed other entries with Magic Numbers.

I am not a coder, so just wondering if the default Magic Number being 0, could mean in the logic "don't consider Magic Number for entries and for closing". I don't know. Just wondering.

Hope you understand what I have done.

Bruce

Thanks for that. I didn't have the table either because I changed the magic number. As soon as I changed it back to '0' I now have the table.

I've just noticed that my trades from Monday were still running. I was playing about with the start times later in the day and checking that all components were working. It was because I had changed my magic number that the blue Monitor box was not observable and therefore I did not see that trades were placed. The trades were not displayed on the main dashboard 'Dash fibo V1'.

Anyway all is good as the trades have made a profit. The problem would have been had I not noticed that trades had been placed, although there is a SL so any damage would have been mitigated.

Guys.. then it is conclusive i need to fix the magic number. It is important because as u can see the ea can close trades that u dont want to be closed.

So for now please use the EA on a separate account so as to avoid this issue. when i get a chance i will fix the magic number thing.

Expect version 6 soon

Coders,

Would it be possible to have Beginning Date and Time and Ending Date and Time options so that we could look back and see the pairs that the CCFp would have taken. so we could see the potential of each week?

It would be nice to have that to be able to check the past.

Logically speaking this seems like a good strategy. Only time it might fail is if price is at a reversal and swings other direction. I am new to this stuff. does the ccfp indicator not show certain pairs if they are ranging and not in a determined direction?
