Someone will correct me if I am wrong. I think the cause is probably Desky trying to do something with a symbol that your broker does not trade. Make sure you are allowed to trade all the pairs in your PairsToTrade list.Mankigdom » Mon Sep 02, 2019 2:08 pm wrote:Hello everyone

I will add a test to check that all pairs in the list are available to users.
Read the effing manual, ok?

Thank You Steve
Yes those 28 pairs I have traded on other demo accounts from the same broker.
Thought it was part of my signal problem that am trying to nail down but its seems a separate issue

Firstly THANK YOU GUYS for allowing us mere mortals free access to your hard work.
Honestly, WOW, 7k+ lines of code in Desky... and who knows how much is in TDesk... ??
I'm not hopelessly confused but I didn't think this was worthy to go in the main thread. After reading a LOT and searching for answers but I am struggling with getting Desky to pick up the signals from TDesk to place a trade. Or TDesk sending the signal in the first place. Anyway...
TDesk - I'm using Universal Signals Drone with HGI, all initializes fine with signals showing and signal age at 15m as of typing this. I changed the input signals to just H4 and H1.
Desky - I'm using version 3t, everything initializes fine with yellow text on screen and I am using default setttings for simplicity. I also tried changing MaxSignalAgeMinutes from 60 to 0, to try and force the expert in to seeing the 15m old signal but it didn't.
Can we only trade on super signals and not multi or solo signals, as I only see in the docs "BroadcastSuperSignals"? Maybe I have missed something obvious?
EDIT: I did miss something obvious. In the TDesk inputs you (from the guide) "Define how to calculate the Super Signals from Solo and Multi Signals. They can be MultiSignalsOnly, SoloSignalsOnly, MultiANDSoloSignals, MultiORSoloSignals. You can mix them to your heart's content, but don't set both operators to MultiORSoloSignals."
By changing this option to SoloSignalsOnly I now have an open trade
I'll leave my embarassing question online in case anyone searches it up in future. I was looking for BroadcastSoloSignals or something similar in TDesk.
Thanks,
Stefan

Well done for working it out for yourself traderuk. This is the sort of initiative we like here.

Sorry but I need your help.
I've been testing TDesk for about a week now, I've been reading a lot and got it working, but today I installed the version of Wavegarrick.
I don't know why, but emptymt4 was always freezing, I still don't understand why, but it will be from some indicator (I will have to question Wavegarrick about the indicators it is currently using), however I was putting one by one in Empty4 and for now it has not frozen.
However I am getting errors regarding the versions of TDeskSignal and Tdesk, mentions that the versions have expired.
It turns out I downloaded it as it is indicated in the Steve manual at this link:
http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 22#p163522
I ask if there is a newer version and if there is where it is because I can not find it.
Best regards,
Rui

Your Empty4 is probably freezing because you do not have Tomele's "TDesk universal buffer drone" aka UBD downloaded on your platform. There are files that need to go in your library folders as well. I cannot go through the lengthy process as it involves reading and following Thomas's instructions. You need to go through it from the beginning and you will find it under http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 106&t=5655 and http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 106&t=5545 and for HGI you need to have the indicator and library files from here http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =88&t=3964. I have posted my indicators and perhaps should post the MTF HGI TD Bars V2 indicator here again:
Here goes: I cannot emphasize enough how you need to keep up with the latest developments here at SHF by reading and keeping up with the program. I understand how difficult it must be for new members and perhaps you can keep up with the developments in my thread to get you up to speed.http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =88&t=5514.
Steve has also set up a thread to get all started with TDesk. http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 106&t=5536
Anyway I will copy this reply to my thread as well, as it is relevant to my developments,
Cheers
Leon
