10.7/10.9 INDI SOLUTIONS

[nanningbob]

I tried today to implement into dashboard a automatic system that tells if currency is going up or down based on CSS (so no manually entering into dashboard). I have done this (well, more like changed it that it seems better to me) for BestBob EA but doing the same thing but on the dashboard or the CSS indicator seems to be over me.

The basic idea was to substract past bar slope value from new bar slope value and look if it is positive or negative and if difference of this values is less than given by user FlatRange.

If first currency is positive and second negative there is UT. If first is negative and second is positive there is DT. If both currencies are going the same directions or both are flat there is NT.

The best entrance is when most of TFs tells the same. I think the best is to check M30, H1, H4 and D1. The best exit is when currencies are changing directions.

How can you see, it's different approach than Bob's. Here you can see why I chose it.

So well, coding it surpass my capabilities for now, both coding and available time but I will definitely come back to this idea sometime.

We are working on a similar idea but not quite the same as yours. Good luck and let us know if you need help.

Spider, I must congratulate you for a phenomenal job with the dashboard. You have just eliminated my migraines by not having to stare at 20 mini charts. It is truly an amazing piece of work !!!

Questions: I have looked at all operational description and I cannot find the basis for the currency pair color change. From observation, I think the pair changes from white to yellow when WK and D agree, but I cannot pin down what makes it change from yellow to green or to red. The color change of the stochs is clear, my doubt is only with the currency colors...

I noticed from your picture that you increased the space between the horizontal lines. How do I increase the space between rows? They are too close together making them difficult to read.

Thanks again for a landmark achievement.

Hi al,

Not sure what i was thinking when coding the colours on the pairs, need to refresh myself by looking at the code, that is one of the things that need to be refined.
But in general, for trading purposes, look only at the colour of the Stoch numbers.
Personally, i ignore the currency colours.

Will try to see what can be done about the space between the rows, you can try playing around with the font sizes and changing font to see if it helps.

Cheers

Hi,

IMO, it is not easy or straightforward to automate the reading of CSS, hence the CSS inputs in my indicator are manual.
The straightforward method of coding CSS read is too simplistic if you like an accurate feedback.
At this point of time, it is best to stick to the manual method and key in the values. Probably even for EAs, a semi-automatic approach as in the indicator might be useful.
Of course, anyone who has success in coding reliable automated CSS reads can correct me on this.

Hello SpiderX. Sorry for posting this here, but did you get my private message? And if you did, did you have the time to take a look at the 2 files I sent you? It's a bit slow, but it works. (it's also slow because I think you are updating at every tick, we don't need this to update more than once per minute... but even once per second would make it much faster).

Hi Spider. Since you will be working on the pair color code, here is my suggestion. I am using this system in my trading and so far all winners:

Yellow Pair: WK and D and D1 Sto Arrow all agree in color (Red or Green) and H4 Sto and H1 Sto are white or Yellow.

Green Pair: WK and D and D1 Sto Arrow all are Green and either H4 Sto OR H1 Sto is Green (Below Stoch Low extern setting).

Red Pair: WK and D and D1 Sto Arrow all are Red AND either H4 Sto OR H1 Sto is Red (Above Stoch High extern setting).

This would give you a heads up notice when a possible H4 OR H1 trade is available by just looking at the currency pair color. My settings for Stoch High and Stoch Low default is 80 and 20. As you can see, I give high importance to never trading against the direction of the D1 Stochastic. For a day trade, the level of D1 Sto is not as important as the direction.

I am fine now with the font size at 13. Don´t worry about changing the row spacing...

Thanks again for a great job.

I agree. It should update once per second instead of on every tick. That would be a good compromise and would relieve the processor a lot.

Two more requests:

1- It would be great if you could reverse the order of the D1 Sto and the D columns. The D1 Sto should be next to the H4 Sto and the D column should be next to the Wk column. It would be easier to read. Readability is very important when you are dealing with so many numbers.

2- When you get a chance, I would love to have the option to turn off columns. The M30 Sto column is useless to me since there is a factor of 4 between the M15 and the H1 and between the H1 and the H4. It would help visually to have the M30 sto column turned off.

Thanks a million.

Hi all,

The suggestions look reasonable and will work on them.
In the pipeline:
1. Indicator options to update every 1/5/15 min etc instead of every tick
...if someone can tell me how to update once per second...i can do that too.
2. Option to turn off certain columns
3. Refinement of pair colour codes

The D1 sto is at its current position in consideration for 10.9....actually the first few columns on the left are for 10.9....the rest are for 10.7.
Need to mull over this a bit, but if there are no opposition to the change requested by al, i can go ahead to change this too
Should be able to finish these changes over the weekend.

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...

Fabulous tool, thanks a lot, extremely helpful. Mike
