EDIT: For coders that may want to help .. In fact anyone reading this thread... You can skip the first page after post#1 and #2 and only read from post#16 on the second page.
This first page is mostly me talking a load of crap .. in the wrong order ... and generally making the matter much more complicated than it needed to be.... I think the ideas I am trying to convey here flow better from page2... just a thought.
I seem to be getting somewhere with validating the code though ....

Happy New Year to all at Forex Factory….. May we all have a prosperous 2010.
I’m not quite sure if I have started this thread in the correct area of FF , maybe it should go in Trading discussions … but as its indicators and code that I am hoping to talk about then I guess this is a good a place to start.
No rules on this thread …. I would love to do the same thing as Steve …. But I don’t think I could be that brutal… I understand completely, the same newbie questions over and over again can drive you mad….
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Acknowledgements should go first … but the list could be endless, so please forgive me for any glaring omissions in this respect.
Smjones .. All this code is based on your original BasketBars code in Julius’ thread … it was from this that I started to get interested in coding MT4… many thanks to you. … the coolest guy on this site IMHO.... that latest gem from you.... the xxxjpy WITH Volume... very cool.
SteveHopwood .. I have learnt so much from your open source code, style of coding, threads and insights …. One very cool guy.
Magnumfreak.... always there with help .... another very cool guy.
As I said .. the list could go on and on but here are a few that jump to mind …. All very cool guys ( or girls ?)
ForexFlash. Trader101. Orest. zznbrm. Kan Gun. hanover… and on and on .. there are just too many cool people to list.

Ok… now the ass kissing .. I mean acknowledgments … are out of the way I should really state what is going to become very apparent.
“Cdavid is a crap coder, he shows little understanding of basic good programming practices and extremely poor implementation of MQL code.”
Having made this point I shall consider comments or observations that confirm this as “moot”.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Ok … fair enough. I think the fact that I am going to embarrass myself greatly by publishing my open source crap here … should be punishment enough.
But even though this is the case, I would like to make a few points in my defence.
1) I think the theory of the tools I want to develop here are sound / good ones.
2) A competent mql coder could probably put together some code that DOES work in a short amount of time.
3) I have witnessed here on FF what can happen when a group of people put their heads together… the results can be absolutely amazing.
4) I am not looking to be spoon fed, I hope it will become apparent that I have tried to learn MQL … but damn its hard.
5) I am willing to put in 100s of more hours to get where I need to be …. But some pointers from the competent coders would be much appreciated.

Mission Statement.
To develop an Open Source suite of tools that will allow the trader to view, manipulate, compare, contrast and TRADE, Baskets of Currency Pairs. Suitable for many of the fascinating Basket Trading strategies that are growing in popularity.
How I’m going to get there.
Beg … Borrow … Bribe …. Steal … and cry a lot…. Cos I’m going to need a lot of help.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Over the next handful of posts I am going to
a) Layout the ideas I am aiming for. Including :-
b) The “Prototype” indicators I have put together so far.
c) The key problems I am having.
d) A development plan to get the tools to where I want them to be.
So if you could all be so kind as to not post just yet … let me layout the above, see if there is any interest, then we can take it from there.
I am working on an IBfx MT4 platform ... I know ... the no hedging sucks ... but with two accounts I have not really found this to be a problem.
I am going to be posting all indies from this platform (IBfx)... dont know if they will work on other brokers mt4 platforms even if the suffix is removed... but hopefully that will not be a problem.
Many thanks to All at ForexFactory.
