10.7/10.9 INDI SOLUTIONS

[SpiderX]

Hi all,

Dashboard v1.05 is uploaded at the original post: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 652#p90652

with the following changes:

-Added Dashboard configuration, use this to remove stuff you dont need.

Code: Select all

extern string  gen1d               = "set Dashboard Configuration";
extern bool showTrend   =true;
extern bool showM15Sto  =true;
extern bool showM30Sto  =true;
extern bool showH1Sto   =true;
extern bool showH4Sto   =true;
extern bool showD1Sto   =true;
extern bool showD1_21   =true;
extern bool showWK_21   =true;
extern bool showMN_21   =true;

-Added secondsToUpdate option, so indicator does not update every tick

Code: Select all

extern string  gen1a               = "Set update time, 0 seconds to update everytick";
extern int secondsToUpdate=15;

-Updated pair name colour code as suggested by alorente
Red - when WK2.1, D2.1 , DStoch direction are aligned down , with either one of the selected stoch timeframes aligned down
Green - when WK2.1, D2.1 , DStoch direction are aligned up , with either one of the selected stoch timeframes aligned up
Yellow - when WK2.1, D2.1 , DStoch direction are aligned up/down , with none of the selected stoch timeframes aligned properly

By selected, it means you have selected to show it in your dashboard configuration.
For typical 10.7/10.9 please still read the stoch colours

Please feedback if the last feature is useful.

Cheers

Thanks Spider.

I wouldn´t worry about the 5 and 15 minute updates. I don´t think anyone would use them. The 1 second and 1 minute are important though. Maybe a 10 seconds option would also be useful for a good compromise between the two. I wish I could tell you how to implement them. I know Steve has incorporated under one minute update times in several EA´s...

Just browsing here, so apologies if my remarks appear out of context.

FWIW, if an ea is not for critical-time scalping but not trading only on the close of a candle, I find it helpful to the cpu to keep calls to the standard indi's down to one a minute. When dealing with Crap Custom Abortions, doing so is essential if the computer is not to start emitting blue smoke quite quickly.

And a later edit having caught up:
Not suggesting that Spider's offering is a CCA. Old stagers know exactly what I mean by these.

Excellent work, Spider. This dashboard of yours is quickly becoming a dangerous weapon...
I would add the following to the Green and Red conditions to get them closer to trade entry time:

Green: ... and the selected stoch is below 30.

Red: ... and the selected stoch is above 70.

With this condition added, all that is left is a quick check of the CSS and if the lines agree, you can pull the trigger with confidence of success.

Thanks again for your quick and magnificent work.

Hi al,

Yes. The pair name colour is currently set up as you mentioned...depending on the value you set for the extern stoch_high and stoch_low.
The colour on the stoch numbers should be same as the pair name colour if aligned correctly.
Can you share which timeframe you check your CSS ? D1 or H4 ?

Cheers

CSS on the D1 should be safest, right?

That depends what do you mean by safest. D1 is slow so it can hides retracement but overall price should go in CSS direction.

[james666]

The overall trend for the day is indicated by CSS.. In my opinion, going in that direction shoul mean increasing your chances of a winning trade (i.e saftest)

If you want to trade in several days then yes, it is. But if you want to trade in hours then safer is H4 or H1. If you will enter only by reading D1 you can experience price going in another direction in lower timeframes. This is caused by nature of CSS that reads overall strenght of currencies after they moved and after big move (CSS going very sharp up or down) there is usually a retracement. After retracement price should go in direction of CSS but till retracement ends you will experience CSS going in direction opposite to price. This is not really a big deal if you trade in higher TFs but in lower can be a pain.

Probably more noticeable on the 5 min time period I am working on this week end but I also noticed it in live trading this last week. The the demark trend line indi is not always following the formula. Some lines are connecting with just 1 point and others none at all. I uploaded the indi I am using to compare it to. I ran it in a simulator and got the same results. I will attach the indi I used for the comparison below. Oh I also have noticed it completely disappear also.

Only one or no points are connecting

Same chart with my demark indi on it uploaded below.
Looks correct.
