If I slide the border more to the left, it covers the cells because that is the area taken up by the Prices in the chart. In your window (other picture) the window border comes right to the edge of the cells.

Still not sure if I understand you well. You don't see any black space around my matrix, because I didn't capture it. Below is what I captured from your image:

There is no black space either. (But there are the icons of the lightbox ... )

Also, in the first image (of your post), there is no horizontal space between the second and third columns, because they all belong to the same indicator (all for timeframe H4). The indicator lines them up next to eachother, because there was not enough vertical space on the screen.

The tile that has changed in the last refresh, turns dark red and there is a parameter for the SymbolFont (default: "WingDings").

Update in Post 1.

Thanks for the wonderful dashboard you have written. I have a small request, could you program font as an external variable so that we could choose which font to be used. Right now I am getting weird symbols and not arrows. I am using Win7 Ultimate and could not solve the correct font to be used in order display arrows.

see snapshot as below:

The font for the arrows and waves is the "WingDings" font. I thought that, that font was independent of the language setting, but I was wrong. I am not sure what font you need in your language, but I will make it an external parameter.

here's how i have it setup :



here's my edit:

you can now turn off SymbolColumn in the inputs. you will need to add a separate instance to get each timeframe you want. if you add more symbols than will fit vertically in your chart, you're gonna have a bad time.

sorry but I don't know how to implement this in the code, so here my kludge/template instead

Very creative! If there is enough demand for a MTF HGIMatrix than I can make it. This would avoid loading HGIMatrix more than once. There would then be an input TimeFrames, that would be a comma-separated list of time frames one is interested in.

But, like trendinator alluded to, this would need to be displayed as a list, and we can not have more symbols than would fit vertically in the available screen height.

I changed some of the colors and inputs in the code. Enclosed is the template with the 15 pairs I trade for a screen with 1440 px vertically or more. There is no reason to trade more pairs than these, especially the high spread pairs and the CHF pairs because they are almost 100% correlated to EUR. There are ample opportunities to trade with these 15.
