I wouldn´t worry about the 5 and 15 minute updates. I don´t think anyone would use them. The 1 second and 1 minute are important though. Maybe a 10 seconds option would also be useful for a good compromise between the two. I wish I could tell you how to implement them. I know Steve has incorporated under one minute update times in several EA´s...

Just browsing here, so apologies if my remarks appear out of context.

FWIW, if an ea is not for critical-time scalping but not trading only on the close of a candle, I find it helpful to the cpu to keep calls to the standard indi's down to one a minute. When dealing with Crap Custom Abortions, doing so is essential if the computer is not to start emitting blue smoke quite quickly.

Dashboard v1.05 is uploaded at the original post: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 652#p90652

with the following changes:

-Added Dashboard configuration, use this to remove stuff you dont need.

Code: Select all

extern string  gen1d               = "set Dashboard Configuration";
extern bool showTrend   =true;
extern bool showM15Sto  =true;
extern bool showM30Sto  =true;
extern bool showH1Sto   =true;
extern bool showH4Sto   =true;
extern bool showD1Sto   =true;
extern bool showD1_21   =true;
extern bool showWK_21   =true;
extern bool showMN_21   =true;

-Added secondsToUpdate option, so indicator does not update every tick

Code: Select all

extern string  gen1a               = "Set update time, 0 seconds to update everytick";
extern int secondsToUpdate=15;

-Updated pair name colour code as suggested by alorente
Red - when WK2.1, D2.1 , DStoch direction are aligned down , with either one of the selected stoch timeframes aligned down
Green - when WK2.1, D2.1 , DStoch direction are aligned up , with either one of the selected stoch timeframes aligned up
Yellow - when WK2.1, D2.1 , DStoch direction are aligned up/down , with none of the selected stoch timeframes aligned properly

By selected, it means you have selected to show it in your dashboard configuration.
For typical 10.7/10.9 please still read the stoch colours

Please feedback if the last feature is useful.

Cheers

I would add the following to the Green and Red conditions to get them closer to trade entry time:

Green: ... and the selected stoch is below 30.

Red: ... and the selected stoch is above 70.

With this condition added, all that is left is a quick check of the CSS and if the lines agree, you can pull the trigger with confidence of success.

Thanks again for your quick and magnificent work.
