Hopelessly confused by TDesk or Desky? Ask here.

Hi Steve.

Look at OnInit(). You return before TDesk gets initialized.

Cheers

Think how lethal I would be if I possessed a firing synapse.

Thanks.

Hi Guys.

Firstly a great thank you to all the great coders here - especially Steve and Thomas.

I am one of the confused here.

I have setup Leon's TDesk Master Template, with 28 open charts, and added Desky - as per Desky Guidelines. I use GP as my broker. Both EAs show smiley faces. Leon's TDesk Master Template settings for multi trade entry is 50 and solo trade entry is 70. A number of currencies have met these criteria, but no trades have been opened by Desky. I cannot figure out why? Anybody having the same problem?

Regards,
Coenraad (zaguy)

Hi Coenraad,

If you get a super signal up or down arrow in your TDesk dash, Desky Ea should open a trade. Works perfect on my side. Check that you have "TDesk signals" in your Include folder.

Cheers
Leon

Hi everyone,
I'am a big fan of TDesk and wish to thank Tomele for his precious work. Just one thing I Don't like is all the sound alerts sent by TDesk. I disabled all the alerts but still get the sound alerts...Please can someone tell me how to disable the sound alerts
Thanks a lot

Hi JavaJames
The alerts could be generated from the main TDesk (master) EA from either Solo, Multi or Super signals and these can be turned off. A lot of the TDesk compatible EAs and indicators also have alert features so check these on your actual trade charts. The TDesk Trading Partner EA I don't think should generate alerts, although it's being built at such a phenomenal rate that things may not yet be wholly tickity boo.
If it's just the sound alerts you want to kill then you could go nuclear: CTRL+O, Events Tab and UNtick (UNcheck if you're a yank) the "Enable" box.
Cheers - Chris

Correct. Desky merely responds to TDesk signals apart from the usual management stuff that ships with all my EA's. Desky does not sound alerts.

Also correct that, "things may not yet be wholly tickity boo." Working on it though.

I have configured TDesk to give me alerts based only on SuperSignal. The possible signals that you get are:

- Flat to Short
- Flat to Long
- Long to Flat
- Short to Flat

Now the problem is that the signals change within a few pips and you get the alerts piling up for the same currency from Flat to Short to Flat to Short to Flat and so on.

Since I don't care when it goes from Long to Flat or from Short to Flat could I somehow skip the alerts that go to Flat? The reason is that if I am already in the trade then I am not going to close it after a minute because it went to Flat and back and forth. I am only interested in the alerts that go F to L or F to S if that makes any sense.

Is that possible? I went through the settings but I don't seem to find a way to do it. Hope I haven't missed anything obvious.

OR maybe a good idea would be to be able to silence a signal on the same direction if you have already opened a trade on that direction.
