The EACopy I posted previously I have found will not work with my Cowboy IBFX account, It appears that due to Cowboy IBFX has changed the way Empty4 is loaded in the file directory the EACopy cannot find it and I have not been able to make it find it ..
I used this for a long time and really miss it's use, but when I had to re locate my accounts back into the U.S. I went with Cowboy IBFX and ran into this difficulty.. bummer..

If anyone has found out how to make it work on Cowboy IBFX please post here if you would..

As I described in my previous post, SynchToy works great and keeps a local store of all EA's if yo configure it correctly. If you just want to copy files from point A to point B,C, and D its even easier.

Nice one. This post just earned Rockyj promotion to the pink names club. I call it light red, but cuzgeorge's wife insists the colour is pink and find him quite fetching in the colour. To quote George, "I amnot going to win that one."

Either way, let's hope R enjoys the colour.

Welcome to the pink club (battlescarredveterans i think by GaryFritz to get our ego's back) , I've used some of your shortcuts and appreciate the utes.
i'm convinced the pink (light red) is there as punishment to make us strive for blue or green.

You guys are welcome, I can't take credit for the scripts as they are the work originally of zznbrm who I consider one of the best coders around..
He did after all come up with the original TMA Slope indie I believe.. which I consider it's current form to be possibly the best indicator I have ever seen.. cudos to Bob on that as well for his great refinements which imo helped make the TMAslope one hell of a tool.

I really do think those scripts are awesome... use them all the time.. saves so much time every day..

Simplifying ... I like that..

I had an issue with quite a few brokers and the way of manually scanning the broker's folder didn't seem to work either so I sent them an email. They replied saying you need to scan "c:\program file (x86)\" and not "c:\program file (x86)\broker name" - this then picked up ALL my Empty4 installs including Cowboy IBFX and the other one or 2 I was having issues with! Thanks for the link to the tool - it will save me loads of time.

I tried the Microsoft synctoy but it is a real pain to set up in comparison if you have a lot of Empty4 instances.

Cheers,
Dave.

Hi all, RockyJ,
here's a little script for closing all trades. there are options and these can be found in the code.
This helps me to close a huge amount of trades instantly, or as quick as what Empty4 allows or,
selected ones based on the options.
hope this is usefull for someone else.
regards
cuz

I came across this little gem. Written by squalou over at FF.

He has openly shared it there a while ago, and imo it looks like a useful tool..

go to this page and about 6 post down.. detailed explanation with pic.

And do note the indi will work on backtesting as well... Very handy imo.

Here is another maybe nice to have item.

A very nice clock and I have made a template that places 2 clocks on a chart.

One is Server time, the left clock will show server time no matter what time zone it is as long as the input
"Timezone from server" is set to 0.

You can change about anything you like, Location of clock, color, label, size , Time Zone ,

In mql format so permanent set up is possible.

The second clock (2) is currently set for NY time (+5) but can be set to what ever you like. Just remember the figure used here is Time from SERVER... dependent on your brokers server timezone. (not necessarily gmt)

Easily the best clock I have seen.. I just cannot remember where it came from or I would give kudos to the coder..

oops! slight correction here for the 2 that downloaded already I loaded the ex file by mistake for the clocks, here are the mql files as promised...
