Hi Guys,
Post 1 updated with Dashboard V 1.07.
This is a major update:
Dashboard version:
================================
When you load some preset files, the string (text) values are stored in the files and that’s what you see.
To be sure of the Dashboard version used the best way is to look at the bottom left:

Button “ALL”:
================================
Onclick, the button “All” open all valid signals.
The initial version of this button was buggy. In order to open manually the trades with the button, the DB has to bypass some filters and there was the bug.
To have it working properly, I had to completely modified the way to manage it, and I had to code an additional filter.
In the Dashboard’s standards filters, there is a post trade security timer to avoid issues when trades are sent to the broker. Each time a trade is sent to the server there is a security timer during 60 seconds which avoid to open new trades during this time, the time to get an answer from the server and avoid potential unlimited number of trades.
In the previous first attempt to code this “All” button, this security timer was bypassed. Now it has his security timer also.
I thought it would have been easier to code this simple function
a good lesson, those filters are not that easy to bypass
Candle Direction Filter:
================================
As advised and requested by John, the Candle direction filter can be displayed on screen only. When they are used to filter trades a status will appear below them:

Virtual Baskets:
================================
The latest version of the Dashboard includes a new Virtual Basket mode which can trigger trades.
Strategy 3 and 4 are using some virtual baskets to trigger trades.
Strategy 3 is using the signals from strategy 1 to trigger trades.
Strategy 4 is using the signals from strategy 2 to trigger trades.
The general concept is to open some Virtual Baskets at the beginning of each new hour and to monitor the minimum pips count. At the beginning of the new hour If the minimum pips count of the previous hour is >= to 0, then, a real basket is open.
Some back tests were showing some interesting results with this approach which needs to be confirmed. Having a minimum pips count >= 0 mean that there is some momentum and strength in the market as the basket never went into drawdown (or almost not) for a period of time.
This concept was back tested and created around the 1 hour timeframe, but the Dashboard allow the usage of other timeframes as well.
The preliminary results based on back tests done on Excel were really impressive and off course they need to be confirmed with forward testing as those back tests were not using tick data and were based on 1 hour data…
@ Forexpinbar and the trader at the origin of this idea: you might want to gives additional infos about this idea and potentially share screenshots

This virtual basket mode is a beta version which need to be tested…
More information’s about the VB settings are available in the PDF user guide.
That’s it for the moment.
I hope we are going to have fun with all these new features.
