While it is not possible to read the Alerts in an EA (as far as i know) would it be possible to write to a Global?

Regards Piet C.
MADDY's events are not encrypted and therefore any EA can pick them up and do whatever it wants with them. However, for the benefit of the SHF trading community I would like to keep the discussions and the associated code development and distributuon centralised, rather then having to follow 101 different directions, despite the good intentions behind them. Global variables peeking-and-poking is not a preferred way to distribute MADDY's signals.

Thanks a lot for this fantastic indicator, your codding blows my mind.

Is ther any chance you can you point me to a section that has the EA code requirements for CSSDiff, mine aren't doing it.

"cssdiff1 = iCustom(NULL,0,Indic_Name3,autoSymbols,symbolsToWeigh,maxBars,nonPropFont,ignoreFuture, 0,1);"

thank again
Ray

I am not too sure what it is that you are after, but I have been using baluda's LibCSS for this.
As a rule, I stay away from iCustom() calls, as much as I can. Generally, it is possible to re-write an indicator into a function that can be called straight away. This is far more efficient.

Hope I have helped you in any way -- not sure how though.

Hello George(gilead)

as you may know I'm following your dash project since the beginning
I've read somewhere :smile: that you are currently using both indicators,MADDY and MADdash

I still use the MADdash with the other dashboard as I like some features of the MADdash. The 2 dashboards are coded differently and with different objectives, and so their combination creates an amazing tool for me.

you've just explained very well the difference about stale and fresh signals,but how could you make these 2 wonderful indicators to work as a team?

I'm really curious about that
could you please give us a visual example? I know that with the proper settings,MADDash can be a very good tool,personally I'm using ADR % distance from MAs,and not pips there.

many thx

Hi Bippo,

One just gives me the fresh and stale signals while the other gives me the NOW (fresh) trend. And this is what has helped and reinforce my conviction that I don't need the fresh and stale signals as I see it change as suddenly as the fresh signal dashboard. But the difference is MADDY highlights the NOW trend and when a currency group(s) has enough to indicate good movement, then there will be momentum and the ADR or support or resistance will not make any difference to price movement as it will be freight train that nobody can stop.

Shalom :hi:

I guessed so..

let's put it in another way
we could compare MADDash to a longer term trend indicator,and MADDY to a momentum indicator.
But they are amazing indicators!
So when they both are aligned,waka boom,cash flow$$$$$$$$$££££££££$£€€€€€€€ in your pocket.

Million dollar tip,bro.
All of you in this thread,you owe me a beer guys :lol:

Update: MADDY1.6 is in Post 1
Three little problems were fixed:
(1) Someone reported to have a br0ker that has symbols with no extension, and symbols with the 'c' extension, and he wishes to use the symbols with the 'c' extension. Go figure! In addition, this br0ker was listing both NZDAUDc and AUDNZDc and GBPEURc and EURGBPc and several others. Why, I don't have a clue. This was throwing a spanner in the wheels for both MADDY and MAD-EA, but that has now been fixed. If you are one of the unlucky persons, who can not use Global Prime as your br0ker and have to use a dubious br0ker that has dubious symbols, you now have a way to use MADDY by properly configuring the ExcludeExtensions and/or IncludeExtensions parameters. You are already disadvantaged enough by not having Global Prime, so I thought to not add to your misery and make the changes in MADDY so that you can still run it.
(2) There was a bug if you both had the M1 and M15 timeframes selected, and clicked on an arrow under the M15 column, it would open the chart on M1, not M15. This bug has now also been fixed.
(3) Removed the zero-divide bug, if someone selects 'current' as one of the timeframes.

Hi Guys,

I've read this whole thread plus the Maddash thread at FF. I get that this has huge potential but I just can't wrap my mind around how MADDY actually works. The part that's confusing for me is how if I have it set for M1 and M5 signals and these are supposed to be Fresh, why would I have the H1 and H4 as part of the settings?

Also, I've experimented with the out of the box settings plus 2 other different settings and the signals seem to always be late for me. (The last settings I tried were Fast 35 EMA and Slow 175 EMA, signals only for M1 and M5, at least 4 signals - trying to replicate the MA channels I saw in George's template)

I\d love for someone to explain in a paragraph the nutshell version of how this actually works (what are the signals actually, what do those arrows mean?) so I can make some use of it..

Unfortunately Pueo, I have to ask you to take the Bourne's advise http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread. ... ost8807300. When we read something and we don't understand, then we need to read it again, and again and again until we understand it.

Every trader that wants to be successful will and must have the greatest input into his/her own education and success. Just my 2 cents :hi:
