[*]a utility that forces the crapform to sort our charts so that their tabs are in alphabetical order. The sort of thing that a child would include with even the most basic piece of software but which appears to be missing from CrapBloodyT4.[/list]

I believe this is on place on the latest release, click "window" -> "arrange icons".

I clicked it yesterday accidently and then had to look for my GBPJPY chart with MTBM on it...

Hi Steve,

After everything getting sorted, I'm enjoying myself immensely with FB.
Just trying to understand the logic behind the order-entry, I loaded the 'fractal-indi' to see how and what.
Can you comment on the attached chart, if you could be bothered?

Can't figure out why last night a trade was triggered on a fractal, and this morning not [yet].

Thanks in advance!

I think I figured it out, please correct me if I'm wrong;
There have to be 4 fractals in the right position to trigger a trade;
- long trade; 2 x high fractals and 2 x low fractals, both rising
- short trade; 2 x high fractals and 2 x low fractals, both falling

a utility that automatically converts the other charts to the format of the one it is dragged on to. Note not one that demands that we identify chart 0 - we already have that one and it doesn't work. Just one that when dragged onto a chart cries, "Ehup guys. Let's convert all the other charts on this crapform to look just like me. Time to party." And does the damn job.

I think it can be done in a way like that:

Code: Select all

string FileName = "temp_template"; //file name to save current template
long CurrentChart = ChartID();//get current chart ID
ChartSaveTemplate(0, FileName);//save current template
//iterate through all charts
long Chart = ChartFirst();
while (Chart >= 0){
  if (Chart != CurrentChart) //do not apply to curent chart
    ChartApplyTemplate(Chart, FileName); //apply saved template
    Chart = ChartNext(Chart); //get next chart
}

Sorting the tabs - maybe can be done by Windows API.

My Empty4 have also updated themselves, I am now running Ver4 Build 710. I was wondering why my client kept blinking when restarting it . I am still watching my demos with the new builds now so lets see if things keep working right. I have three tests running, two 15mins and 1 hour one. It sucks that they force the stuff on you. All my tests are running the latest FB .i

This bloody platform is starting to drive me even further to drink than I was already heading.

Hang on Steve - I'll join you!!

I had a Empty4 display odd behaviours two days ago. So I closed & re-opened it. Noticed a flicker & thought "Oh NO!!". A minute late it came up. Checked & it is now build 711 (27 Sept). This is with Alpari UK for those who are rightly concerned. The computer is "older" & still running XP. No warning just changed. At least it was a day later than one of my **LIVE** platforms with Axitrader broker. That is also on the same XP machine (only used on odd occasion for trade management overnight).

I wanted to change my MPTM settings for FB from 2% to 1% for the basket closure. I made the change and as soon as I clicked "OK" the terminal hung. I waited about 2 minutes & then killed it. Opened Empty4 again, tried the same change to 1 input & hung again. So I went & had lunch. Still hung when I got back about 25 minutes later!! I have also tried this on the other 'updated' platform with the same result.

If I turn OFF AutoTrading, then make changes to MPTM EA, then turn AutoTrading back ON it seems happy & doesn't hang the terminal. But I don't know if MPTM is working correctly or not. Rather, I should say, I don't know whether Empty4 is allowing MPTM to do it's job!!

I am trading 26 pairs - 13 on each of 2 CrapT4s. So I moved MPTM to the other, non-updated platform & tried it. Ran as smooth as usual, allowing all changes without any sign of hanging the terminal.

So WARNING guys - the new downgrade of Empty4 looks to be WORSE than the rubbish it is replacing.


Cheers,
Mick

Hi All,

My first basket closed and all positions are in green
This is a very good start
I am running with trading time frame 1H
And basket closure with 1%

Am not greedy

I must be the kiss of death for EAs.

Just closed my live basket today, and immediately raised a question;
In the basket were 6 [AUD] orders, that had been opened 10 minutes before, all closed around 0.
Would it make sence to re-open these orders again manually?
Either with pendings on the original value, of marketorders?

These orders didn't contribute much to the closing of the basket, and weren't opened for no reason....

Do you trade limited pairs?
I had 3 EURUSD sell trades making half of the closed basket, you don't have these.
