Thomas,

Can you upload a chart with the Tdesk showing the HGI signals?
I can't get it to display the HGi stuff. :arrrg:
I checked, and I have all the needed files in the correct places.

Hi Gertjan.

First check that MTF HGI Bars is running properly. You should see a chart window with colored bars like that in the middle:

If you don't have that HGI bars, check the HGI library (expired?) and/or reset MTF HGI Bars inputs to default.

Now check that it is writing global variables for TDesk. Press F3 and look for these variables:

If you have those global variables, TDesk should look like this:

If it doesn't, click on the "Overall Signal" header. Maybe they are hidden by accident. Also check that the pairs you are running MTF HGI Bars on are in the list of TDesk's pairs.

Cheers
Thomas

Okay....
I don't get the bars on the trading chart, will go trouble shooting again.
Re-download everything so I have the most current versions.

Do I understand it right that a chart needs to be opened in order to see the signals in the TDesk?
So EVERY pairs that I want to see signals for needs an open chart?

If the problems persist, have a look into the expert log or send it to me.

Signals are sent from open charts only. But you can save a template and then open all charts from TDesk using that template.

Cheers
Thomas

The hgi_lib was the culprit, I apparently had an old version. :arrrg:

Would it be possible to use the 'librairy' version of HGI for TDesk to save CPU by canceling the need to have all charts running?

I already use the library version. You don't need to have the HGI indicator on your charts, only MTF HGI Bars. What you mean is to write a multi-pair signal generator that is running on only one chart. Yes, it would be possible. And no, I will not go this route.

The TDesk concept is aimed at being able to easily make every indicator TDesk-compatible. Otherwise I would have to re-write each indicator into such a multi-pair signal generator. I wanted to provide a tool that can quickly be adapted to any combination of (exotic) indicators. And which is not a black box, but a comprehensible summary of your trading charts.

As far as CPU is concerned, for example the calls to the HGI library would stay the same, no matter if I call them from one chart per pair or cycle through all pairs in one chart.

Trade-off is the number of open charts needed. But as TDesk is (in this use case) meant as a help for manual trading you might have the charts open anyway. And TDesk even helps you managing your charts and keep them consistent.

Cheers
Thomas

That explains the difference between the original HGI signals and your MTF HGI Bars. :smile:

You have a point there, didn't think of that.

I had Renee's HGI Matrix in mind, and went from there further in my thinking.
No idea about the consequences regarding do-ability and work needed.

It wasn't meant as a comment or complaint, I love the work done here.
