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!

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.

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
}

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

?

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
