Happy to hear that someone is interested in my Thread.

I am sorry to "spam" in here with requests and possibily stupid questions...

I had a problem with Empty4 so I had to re-attach TDesk and everything else.

Now my TDesk doesnt give me any HGI Signals anymore. (see attached image)

A buddy of mine is literally using my Drone template for HGI and doesnt have the problem.
I have also tried to use the .exe file to load all history on Empty4, sadly this didnt solve the problem either.

If anybody had the same problem and found a solution (maybe you richard?

) let me know.

Cheers!

Edit: Its working on a different Empty4, I guess I just use this one...

Maybe you are missing the HGI library. What is your experts log telling you?

I have even put all those files AGAIN inside the needed folders (and deleted the other ones) and it still didnt help. It worked for a few days before and then.. just suddenly didnt.

Its okay though, I tried it on a different Empty4 and its working perfectly fine now. I believe its one of those Empty4 things

Quick question concerning Desky.
If I activate hedging and at the same time I activate deletePendings on FLAT signal, are these compatible?
Or will the hedge keep placing pending trades and the onFLAT keeps deleting them?
Hope my question makes sense

Thanks

Desky will delete pendings if you activate deletePendings on FLAT signal - that is what you tell him to do. Obedient bot, is Desky.

Second - the issue (and I'm fairly certain it's not TDesk but Linux/Wine but having spent several days trying to resolve I thought I'd see if anyone on this forum has a fix).

My preferred OS is Linux (Ubuntu) and so I tend to run Empty4 on Wine, which works well most of the time. TDesk seems to work fine all except for the news feed. I've tried a clean mt TDesk instal on a clean wine instance and get "Error: No news could be found! Here is a dump of the website:" message. Is there anyone else using Linux who may have found the solution?

(Tested on Windows box and it all works fine so it's a Linux/Wine issue).

If anyone uses Linux, the issue mentioned above appears to be fixed in Wine v7. Overall Empty4 appears to run well on wine7.0 (there were a few other 'quirks' of on earlier versions) and should be fine for test purposes. Probably best to stick to Windows for live instances.

NEXTGEN, there is probably something wrong in your set file. Take a screenshot and share it.

I'm hoping that someone has some advice. Empty4 is running extremely slowly with a particular Empty4 setup. At first, I thought it was my VPS (2 ghz virtual processor). So I am testing my home machine (3.6 ghz dedicated). At first, this seemed to work fine but over the course of a few hours MT started to run very slowly again, CPU utilisation is around 24% max, and memory sits at approximately 30-40% (of 16 gb).

I have tried to optimise the TDesk setup and have TDesk running on 1 chart, Desky on another, and 2 UBDs on 2 separate charts.

My suspicion is that the UBDs are the cause of things slowing down as I've tested out other TDesk setups and have been able to get them working.

In this case I have the 10.7 CSS TD UBD, from youcrazykid (here viewtopic.php?p=170631#p170631 )installed twice. One instance provides the base strength and one the quote strength to TDesk, both set to the M15 timeframe.

Any advice is appreciated.

I would suspect those two indicators being your problem. Use SlopyBuffers and the real UBD instead and your problems will most probably have gone.

Cheers
