pls check here http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 214#p49214, Baluda provided code to internalize the RSI call and calculation...

Gruss Mop

Moin!

Great - thx to Baluda! Anyway - I'm going to post my stuff now. Maybe MrLong has already done the proper RSI integration.

simplex wrote:Hi MrLong & all,

Time to post my optimized version of 1.08. Goals of my modifications: lower cpu usage by eliminating redundant calculations and simplifying mainenance of the grid by an alternate method of drawing the cells and placing the columns within the cells.

Multi_10_4_EAv1.08rsi_stoch_JM.mq4
modifications here:

• split func DisplayGrid() in two for runtime optimization: CreateGrid() and UpdateGrid()
• replaced redundant function calls in CreateGrid() and UpdateGrid() to further optimize cpu usage
• declared extern int GridMethod to switch between original code and simplex code (temporarily)
• simplified positioning of columns in grid by arrays
• simplified drawing of grid background: drawRectangle()
• functions LabelCreate() and LabelSetText() to simplify object management
• On my display grid columns of open trades and corr. pairs were intermingled. Fixed this.
• patched functions CloseAllButtonBeenHit() and DeletePendinglButtonBeenHit() for a flexible positioning of close buttons
• changed some color settings, just a matter of personal preferences without public value

List of new functions:

• drawGridBack: draw the grid
• drawRectangle: draw a rectangle consisting of labels
• LabelCreate: name says it all ...
• LabelSetText: name says it all ...
• CreateGrid: replace DisplayGrid in init()
• UpdateGrid: replace DisplayGrid in start()

List of modified functions / code sections:

• global declaration section: new var GridMethod
• global declaration section: several new declarations - look for the comments
• init(): changed some colors and coordinates to my personal needs. Called CreateGrid instead of DisplayGrid.
• start(): Called UpdateGrid instead of DisplayGrid.
• CloseAllButtonBeenHit(): replaced hardcoded coordinates
• DeletePendinglButtonBeenHit: replaced hardcoded coordinates

NO changes were applied to trading decisions, etc. - just cpu optimization and gui stuff.

Some remarks:

When reviewing my modifications browse for the string simplex - I marked any change / new function I placed in the code (hope so, at least ).

By switching variable GridMethod to values 0, 1 or something else you can switch between MrLong's original version and mine. This is thought to be a temporary measure to help MrLong integrating my stuff. Settings: 0: simplex runtime optimized and simplex GUI / 1: simplex runtime optimized, MrLong GUI / else: MrLong original

function drawRectangle: replacement for drawCell(). I created this because drawCell sometimes changes horizontal and vertical positioning coordinates when changing height / width settings. Extremely hard when it comes to code maintenance.

bool useWebDings: function drawRectangle has two different methods of drawing a cell implemented. The default method is called when useWebDings == true and works based on the TrueType font Webdings. If you don't have this, set useWebDings == false. Then the alternative method base on WingDings will be called. Rectangle heights and widths of both methods are not compatible! You cannot set width / height on pixel granularity, but on character granularity. Will not fit every possible use, but should be sufficient for creating text oriented grids.

Arrays gridCol1, gridCol2, footCol1, footCol2: supply one single point in the code for changing horizontal column coordinates. No inline patches necessary.

I set grid size to fit the 1366 pixel wide display on my elderly test machine. These are subject to your personal changes.

I set columns positions to allow for long strings under correlated pairs.

@all: this version is meant primarily for MrLong to integrate in his v 1.09. That's why there are several if statements to switch between his version and mine. And I set my preferred colors in init() because I did not want to mess up his code too much. So if you don't want to bother about this just stand by until MrLong uploads his next version.

@MrLong: any question that might appear during integration is welcome!

That's it! Have fun testing & integrating!

Cheers, Jürgen

I will second that. Great work.

I am switching my Cowboy IBFX DEMO over to the new version.

In the mean time, V.1.07 is also doing well today.

Cheers,
