Modified +DX -DX

lr — Thu, 10 May 2012 05:06:26 GMT

Dear Moderator,

as I'm not able to complete the task myself, I ask if it's possible to have a modified ADX indicator, as follows:
- +DI and -DI are calculated on a MA of H/L/C
- MA of +DI and -DI are added to indicators

Fibonacci time retracement

puckkk — Fri, 04 May 2012 10:36:00 GMT

Hello,
should be great to have horizontal fibonacci retracement. I mean, fibonacci on X axis (time) and not only on Y axis (price).

Software improvements

puckkk — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:51:45 GMT

Hello. I'd like to share with programmers two ideas I think could be nice improvements for the platform. In my opinion, they could be called simple bugs too :): they are there for a long long time...:

1) Text added to the chart is never saved: ot

Errors after update

dxbrich — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 05:50:23 GMT

Hi All,

I'm not sure if the method I was using before the update was correct, but it worked. Now, after the update, all I have is error after error.

Most are based around the same principle - saving a variable in the code during the sess

Trailing Stop Order

GregorAnton — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 05:46:39 GMT

The ability to create a "true" trailing stop order.

While it is possible to code a trailing stop, it is not a true trailing stop, by that I mean that it is not a trailing stop order but rather a stop order that is created and updated by a strateg

How do I assign the candle to the object?

NZTurtle — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 08:35:09 GMT

Hi,

From the manual:

Var
Candle : TCandle;
CandTime : Time;
Open, Close, High, Low: Double;

// The ways how a candle can be assigned to the object will be described in the following chapters

CandTime := Ca

Live / Test bug

black — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 04:04:57 GMT

Just a few minutes ago I was running a test on a Strategy in the Tester. I also had a Live Trade in progress, completely separate from the Tester test, of course.

While the test was proceeding, I decided to close the Live Trade manually. I went t

Day Chart goes weird after several hours

GregorAnton — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:32:19 GMT

Whenever I have actfx running for several hours the day chart goes weird. see screenshot

To get it back to normal I just select a different interval, say 8 hours, then switch back to day and everything is back to normal.

This is a nui

ReArrange Indicator Order

GregorAnton — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:31:52 GMT

Once indicators are set it would be good to be able to rearrange the order in which they appear.

For example, if I pick MACD, RSI, and Stochastic one one chart and decide I want to see MACD last, I would like to be able to go back to the list of

Strategy Tester - Statistics

GregorAnton — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:23:55 GMT

Would be nice to include the following statistics:

- Maximum Draw Down (maximum pips and dollars in negative)
- Maximum Consecutive Wins (Count of Number of Wins in a Row)
- Maximum Consecutive Losses (Count of Number of Losses in a Row)

Minimize Indicator Panels

GregorAnton — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 02:50:37 GMT

Indicator panels (macd, rsi, stochastic etc) can clutter up the chart window and take up space.
Removing is time consuming, so is readding them.

What would be nice is a "minimize" button on the top right of each panel that allows users to m

Strategy Tester - Martingale

GregorAnton — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 02:30:03 GMT

The Martingale factor has to be programmed into a strategy. It would be nice if this was a default Strategy Tester setting.

Tester suggestion

Matthew — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 02:20:41 GMT

Two features I think would be useful.

1. To be able to turn of the chart in the tester to if possible speed it up.

2. For Settings in a script be able to provide a range for which to test. And have the tester run the script multiple times for each

Android, Chrome App/Extension

GregorAnton — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 02:15:49 GMT

Would be nice to have an android app or chrome app or extension with login and password as settings to store.

Chart Time Frames and Copy Chart

GregorAnton — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 01:46:26 GMT

Two somewhat related requests.

When working with charts it would be nice to very quickly flip between time frames and copy charts with the option to include ( ) indicator settings, ( ) trend lines.

This is useful for technical analysi

MACD with Red/Blue Bar Colors

GregorAnton — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:12:59 GMT

Would like to have a MACD System Indicator with options to set the Bar Up and Down colors, defaulting Bar Up to Blue, Bar Down to Red.

Similar to Awesome Oscillator the bar would be Blue if it is larger than the previous bar and red if it is sma

"Save" in the File menu or Settings menu

black — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 04:48:15 GMT

Suppose I add, say, 15 new custom indicators and/or 15 new custom Strategies to my running ActTrader Platform. Then I test or use these Indicators and Strategies for a little while, say, an hour.

As I am running one of the Indicators or Strategie

Add OnStop function + possility to reverse orders in the log window

Investisseurfr — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 05:10:03 GMT

Will be very usefull to have a "OnStop" procedure call when the strategy terminates : if you want to display a full report based on internal values you calculated in your strategy.

I do statistics during strategy and wanted to show them at

Annoying messagebox "Price for ... was changed to ... Please place or remove order in trader's order window."

vichell — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 04:07:19 GMT

Hi! I have a desperate question. Is there a way, how to redirect this message:

"[color=#FF0000]Price for ... was changed to ... Please place or remove order in trader's order window.[/color]"

to the log? Or can this be disabled anyw

View Indicator Data in Table

black — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 03:48:59 GMT

At the top of any chart there are several icons. When you move your mouse pointer over them, a little message is displayed, showing what each icon does. There is an icon with the message, "View Chart Data In Table."

When you click the "View Chart

Zero Line for Oscilliators

GregorAnton — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 20:53:20 GMT

The Oscillators zero line is hard to read when the histogram bars are tiny and around the zero line. ie. below and above zero bars are hard to distinguish.

It would be nice to have an option for all Oscillators and indicators that use zero lin

Save Live Data for Tests

GregorAnton — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 17:36:36 GMT

Test data is different from live data. That makes testing strategies tough.

What would be nice is the option to save all live data to a file for later use. Not sure if this feature already exists?

So in other words, I log in. The live

Global Procedures

GregorAnton — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 08:22:51 GMT

It would be great if one could reuse commonly used procedures in multiple strategies with an include statement/script.

Ie.

#Include GlobalProcedures.Act

and then be able to use procedures stored in that script
