I just realised that the block of code I just told you to delete is in fact, vital. :arrrg:

It is an unfinished block that allows members to use CP as originally intended. Here is the finished code block (do a search for "//Set BuySignal and SellSignal to true if none") to find where to insert it - around line 1951:

Code: Select all

      //Set BuySignal and SellSignal to true if none of the filters are selected so that
      //LookForTradingOpportunities() can still trade, then exit the function.
      if (!UseHgiTrendFilter)
         if (!UseSuperSlope)
            if (!UseBobMovingAverage)
               if (!UsePeaky)
               {
                  BuySignal = true;
                  SellSignal = true;
                  BuyCloseSignal = false;
                  SellCloseSignal = false;
                  return;
               }//if (!UsePeaky)
   
Fix in post 1 for mildly disreputable members.

Ok here's the set file I am now testing. D1 SS for direction and simple offsetting true.

I have added a dashboard EA to post 1 - "Candle Power Dashboard EA".

It is an adaptation of my DFC Dashboard EA, so those of you who have used it already know what to do. For those unfamiliar with it, full details are in the user guide. It automatically loads charts whose directional indis match up and unloads them when not.

It would be brilliant if one of you ace dashboard coders could convert the ea into a dashboard. The pdf describes what I am looking for and includes some notes to help you know what the variables are etc. Anybody willing to try this, pm me if you are unsure of anything.

Oh boy guys, wait until you play with the attached.

Thomas has been slaving away on our behalves today and come up with something that will be such a help to those of you trying to devise trading strategies to harness the power of CP.

I am putting it here for now, until I can update the user guide and to make sure there are no tiny wrinkles to iron out. It will go into post 1 as soon as I can update the guide - tomorrow sometime.

In the meantime, if you can use my original dashboard ea then you can use Thomas' - it is the same engine throbbing at its heart.

Bear in mind that the dashboard in AutomateChartOpeningAndClosing mode will close an 'untradable' chart that you have opened through clicking on the dashboard, the next time it fires the OnTimer() event - every 10 minutes by default. Set EventTimerIntervalSeconds to something ridiculously high if you want these charts to remain open until you close them manually.

Have fun folks. This is a fabulous piece of programming by a fabulous coder.

Thanks Thomas. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!:

First of all thanks for great tools.İ think we must refresh the dashboard .İsnt it.And we can use this dashboard with every EA by using template function.
