Hi,
I am stuck with TDesk. I just loaded it yesterday for first time, but it looks to be incomplete.
So, I started over from the beginning.
Opened Data Folder
Closed Empty4
Deleted TDesk EA, include files & library files.
Re-loaded TDesk EA to expert, include & library files.
re-started Empty4
TDesk starts & active.
Dashboard shows on chart clearly
But nothing is happening
Version is 6.81
server & local time showing
28 pairs showing
click to open chart functioning correctly
shows swap & spread values for all pairs

That is it, nothing else.
Something is missing.


I appreciate any assistance in getting this to work.

tks,
cdk1212

TDesk will do nothing until you tell it what to do. Its trading partner Desky will do nothing until TDesk tells it what to do.

You have some learning to do. Start at viewtopic.php?p=163890#p163890.

Good luck but do not expect to be spoon-fed by people who have taken the trouble to learn how to use TDesk.

I tried to setup GRaB Candle strategy in TDesk but something is fishy...
The strategy is simply
Go long only when the market is above the 34 EMA applied to the high.
Go short only when the market is below the 34 EMA applied to the low.

So I have adjusted TDesk UBD Builtin Indicators.mq4 with

Code: Select all

#define Builtin_Functn_1 iMA
#define Builtin_Params_1 34, 0 ,MODE_EMA, PRICE_HIGH

#define Builtin_Functn_2 iMA
#define Builtin_Params_2 34, 0 ,MODE_EMA, PRICE_LOW
And added the UBD indi with these settings:

But in TDesk the signals shows SHORT while it should be LONG.... :arrrg: I would be glad for any hint.

You have compiled the "TDesk UBD Builtin Indicators" library, I hope.

That is my fault. There is an inbuilt Empty4 call ACCOUNT_LIMIT_ORDERS that returns the max number of trades a broker will allow. A return to this call of zero means there is no limit. I forgot to allow for this when setting up the chart display.

I shall be releasing an updated version soon, with an extra feature requested by one of our members. I will correct the display.

For now, ignore it. It does not affect you.

Yes, that was done and just did again (even deleted inbefore the ex4) with no change. This is how TDesk looks with the indi in the bottom:

Strange one indeed, those are the correct settings and they work fine here just did a test and shows the correct signals... as Thomas said, maybe post all your files for us to take a look...

Finally I found a chance to grab the files to post them here. Sorry for the delay.
Attached the modified "TDesk UBD Builtin Indicators.mq4" library and the template that will load TDesk and the indi as visible in my previous posted screen.

Thank you for the support and I already excuse for my foolishness beeing unable to spot the mistake :arrrg:
