My apologies i will go through the manual Again.
I suggest you read it with more care this time. Then take several months to find out what TDesk is all about. Brainfaders like you need a lot of time to work out the basics.

You are an idiot and I think you are lying about reading it at all.

You are exceptionally fortunate that your moronic post did not result in me spending several hours hunting down a 'bug' that was in fact, caused by your stupidity.

Trust me dimwit, you would not have enjoyed my reaction.

So cretin, keep your head well down for a long time to come. Attract my attention again and I will ban you.

Capiche, moron?
Read the effing manual, ok?

Afterprime is the official SHF broker. Read about them at https://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=175790#p175790.

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

Anyone here feeling generous? My paypal account is always in the market for a tiny donation. pianodoodler@hotmail.com is the account.

Greetings all,

I'm not necessarily confused but I could be. The indicators I see for TDesk are all designed to go long or short given certain criteria. I am looking to get an ATR indicator working that's more a filter for trades. Like a "risk on" or "risk off" indicator. The closest comparison I see is the ADX indicator and the trend line (neutral if ADX is below the line). However, that still dictates long or short trades depending on the DMI's.

My workaround to this is creating two indicators where one is for short only else neutral and the other is long only else neutral. Then I'd set TDesk to place long or short trades when the ratio of the signals is in agreement knowing one will always be opposite of the other.

Now, did I really over complicate this? Is there a way to do what I'm asking in a much simpler way given my ignorance? Hopefully this isn't a dumb question.

Thanks,

EJ

Hi EJ.

For the moment, you are doing it absolutely right. I will give that problem further thoughts.

Cheers

Hey EJ,

can you post an image and your indicator with your request @ TDesk User Indicators Playground? I have an idea to make it possible: Below your given threshold, a NULL signal could be submitted to TDesk to leave this slot empty. This would allow to form Super Signals. In case of a cross of your given threshold, the indicator could publish a FLAT Signal and subsequently block any Super Signal.

Cheers,

Mat

:hi:

PS: I can modify that for you if you want.

Thanks, I'm at work right now so will add files once I get home since they're on that computer. I'll add a note to the thread you mentioned with a screenshot of the indi I made at Tradingview to give you an idea.

Also, thank you for your response tomele.

Hi Matthias.

Very good idea. That could become a general option in the Universal Drones.

Hi Tomele,

After updating latest version Tdesk & TdeskSignals, I get this issue. May be something wrong?

Hey all, I LOVE the tool but for some reason I cant get it to work properly.

(donation on its way, will post @ http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... .php?f=107 )

100% NOT a bug, just me/my fault, but where? Anyone got an idea? I searched here but couldn't find it, so to prevent others for asking the same stupid question, I'll put the phrase here now: Error: No TDesk indicator signals found , better one dumb guy than 10 right? :)

Anyways, I have set up everything accordingly, see green boxes, yet I get that error for some reason... anyone know which part I could have done wrong?

Note: I set all reserved pairs to be GOLD instead of XAUUSD , and trading with THB currency, although that shouldn't matter.

Ah the screenshot of course (please take notice that I woint be trading like this, but just keep 1 chart fully open visible, now its just to show all):

I think you are mixing two systems here. SlopeyPeakyBob is a stand-alone EA- it does not require Tdesk to run. Tdesk requires you to open charts that have Tdesk compatible indicators on them and it generates signals from these charts. Trading Partner EA then uses these Tdesk signals to enter and exit trades.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am confused :? . Please can you help me.

I have a Tdesk configuration set on H4.
XAUUSDDaily_1.png
Solo signal had rised two-three bars ago, but at current moment still 100%. Signal age set to 60 minutes.
AUDNZDH4_1.png
Is there any option or setting on TDesk that can tell to send solo signal every bar(mine is H4) if signal still 100%?

Or can Desky read every bar on set timeframe(H4) that signal is 100% and there is no open trade on that pair and open a trade?

Regards,

Isabek.
