HGIMatrix

[silentshadow]

Thanks for your reply.
I understand and have read through the whole thread before posting a comment {I am not technically challenged}. Have all the files that is required for the system to work and have followed the steps to the teeth. As aforementioned HGI standalone is working without any hick-ups. I will again check if there is a problem with wine that I am using

Thanks for the help, Renee

@silentshadow:

In order to run HGIMatrixMTFv33.ex4 you only need the HGI Indicator (by default that is HGI_v17.00.ex4) in the \Indicators folder. Of course, you need the latest version of that indicator that hasn't expired yet. The runtime system needs access to this HGI_v17.00.ex4 file as the code of HGIMatrixMTFv33.ex4 calls the iCustom-function, with the HGI_v17.00.ex4 filename as one of its parameters.

In order to compile HGIMatrixMTFv33.mq4 to create HGIMatrixMTFv33.ex4 you need nothing else than your MQL4 compiler which is inside the Metaquotes Language Editor (and press F7).

In order to run HGIMatrixMTFv33L.ex4 (i.e. the HGI Library version), you only need the HGI Library file (that is hgi_lib.ex4) inside the \Libraries folder. Again, you need a version of this file that hasn't expired yet.

In order to compile HGIMatrixMTFv33L.mq4 to create HGIMatrixMTFv33L.ex4 you only need the hgi_lib.mqh file inside the \Include folder. This is a very small file that is included in the source of HGIMatrixMTFv33L.mq4 and therefore the compiler needs to have access to this file.

If you don't understand any of this, you will have to re-read these four paragraphs until you do. All the information is contained in there.

As I recall you also need to input the pairs you want to show/trade or 0 for All into the mq4. Can't check right now but I'm sure that is so.

As far as I'm aware, the windows file system under linux/wine is case-sensitive. So, if you would have named the hgi-indicator something like hgi_v17.00.ex4 and HGIMatrix is looking for HGI_v17.00.ex4, it would not find it. Worth checking.

Thanks for all the help - Renee.
I did a refresh of all the files. Checked some of the OS level rules amended few and viola its working now. Many thanks for all the help

@keke, many thanks for reaching out to me in private and helping me with some guidelines. As a linux user you wont see much of the symbols that has been coded into these indi's and yes I have struggled.
Keke, understood am using a linux box and proactively suggested I have wingdings fonts installed it goes into < the fonts folder inside wine directory>

Had a eureka moment and then slapped myself for missing out on such a silly thing

@RM (retireme), thank you for helping me out
@Wavegarrick, appreciate you guiding me

Hi Renee,

When trying to load the HGI-matrix I get an error stating that there is an array out of range [697,77].

What can I do?

Thanks for al the work you do here!

[renexxxx]

What can I do?

Can you let me know if you still have the same problem with the attached version?

Works like before, thanks!

[renexxxx]

Works like before, thanks!

Thanks Gertjan for the bloop spot! It required literally a change of one byte...

If have updated the versions in Post 1.

Thanks Renee & all involved for such a useful and nicely coded indicator.

I've made some enhancements that I wanted to make and am sharing them here in case others find them useful.

Note: I've only made these changes to the "L" version as that's the one I'm currently using. I'll leave it to Renee if he wants to merge in my changes to the official first post versions. Otherwise if you wanted to apply these changes to the other version yourself, you could use something like WinMerge to merge them in if you're comfortable with that.


Enhancements:

- Added new parameter ShowATRCurrency which displays the dollar value of the ATR in the account currency for more practical comparison of volatility (for eg. GBPJPY may have lower ATR than GBPCAD but GBPJPY has a higher dollar value range)

- ShowATRCurrency works in unison with ShowATR so if ShowATR = false then ShowATRCurrency makes no difference, it's either both or nothing.

- Fixed minor display issue with bottom border of the cell not displaying properly.

- Made the template load a bit more flexible by allowing you to setup template variants for specific timeframes. For eg. "If the Template name for opening charts" is set to "MyTemplate.tpl" and you have "MyTemplate M5.tpl" & "MyTemplate M30.tpl" files, it will try and load the template with the matching timeframe first and if that fails, it will just load "MyTemplate.tpl". In my case I wanted this ability as I have multi-timeframe indicators in my templates that are setup differently for different timeframes - so loading the exact template for a timeframe avoids me having to alter indicator settings and messing about.

Note: For this to work, you just need to have a corresponding template with the exact same name but with " M5", " M30" etc. added to the end of the name in upper case.


Notes for Renee & coders:

- Added EventKillTimer to OnDeinit so that the timer is cleaned up gracefully rather than being rudely aborted by Empty4 (which could cause issues potentially).

- Added version constant so that version appears on the indicator when you hover over it.

- Refactoring to move template handling code into the one function - to address some duplicated sections of code.


Final Remarks

Thanks again for this very cool indicator and it's with pleasure I'm able to give something small back initially and as a way to express my appreciation for being welcomed into this forum. I feel very fortunate and privileged to be here.

If there's any questions or issues regarding any of the above, happy to assist.

Cheers
Peter

Btw, I'm from UpsideDown land - as you guys call it -

There is a new version of HGIMatrix (version 34) in Post 1 of this thread. Version 34 incorporates the changes made by peteforex (above) and also merges the indicator version and the library version of the code, into one version. This is all explained in Post 1 under Edit 34:.

Have fun!

Edit: Made yet another update to hgi_indi.mqh. Sorry.
