Look people 1st take the time to read the thread, i explained when i 1st presented the G#MACD 2 that it was cpu hungry, and if you had problems to run the Standard G#MACD and the G#MACD Trading Signals as 2 separate indicators and that helps with the speed. When i presented the indicators someone only 2 posts below mine who had downloaded the indicators asked the same questions, this can get really frustrating.
I have found one of the main things that slows down MT4 response is too many charts open at once and having huge numbers of indicators in the indicator list dose'nt seem to help either. I run an AMD 2.6 with 512 megs of ram and everything runs fine, when i had my indicator list full of indicators and about 20 charts loaded with probably 6 indicators per chart then things did slow down, i think what happens is people cruise the net downloading every new indicator they can and before they know it they have 100 plus indicators plus 20,30 charts loading up and wonder why everything takes so long to load or respond ?????? I suggest you have a good clean out of indicators not being used and keep the open chart numbers down a low as possible plus make sure you don't have a virus running in the background which has happened to me, some basic computer maintenance can help as well.
Aside from that if you run just the new Dolly#10 it runs really fast so just run that and your own favourite indicators
Thanks cja for your advice
I just deleted the indicators which were not being used. Now everything seems to work fine.
Hi Forum
Thanks go to the authors of this system, i have been using Dolly for a week or so and have found it to be a very useful trading tool, keeping it simple and uncluttered is the way to go, as you can see by the att chart, the trade history is 2 losses and 6 wins, demo acc, thats all the time i have had to trade, so as a result i will be going live tonight on my mini acc, being in OZZ i trade mostly the European open close.
I have found that if you go to on an open chart go to tools,then options, and then charts, set max bars in history to 10,000 it helped my CPU problems I was having, now got 2 accounts running with a lot of charts open, EA'S running, and a lot of CPU robbing indicators 0n 1 gb. of Ram.Doing this 1 time covers all the charts you have up.
mrtools thanks, that really helps. I changed max bars in window to 15,000 but that didn't help. I changed max bars in history to 15,000 and that really helped. Thanks!
I've seen quite a lot of graphs and pictures with Dolly with different settings but it sometimes makes false moves and after seeing so many different configurations I'm quite confused.
I'd really appretiate (I am sure everyone will) if the author of this system could make another thread and post in the first post:
1. Current version of the Dolly indicator
2. All indicators that should be used with this system (recommended?)
3. Clear strategy, explanation, "how to use", FAQ or anything that explains how to set up and run Dolly.
4. EA if any, older EAs.
5. Test results, backtest results, forward test results, real trade results. In pips.
To just change Text size would not have helped you as the Text would have still covered the same area except the gaps between lines and words would have been larger, i have changed the Text to a smaller size and closed up the gaps as small as i can, i don't think you can go any smaller and still read it clearly. I hope this serves your purpose.
Sorry to mess you around - the updated indicator is on Post 838 - no separate window indicator is needed now. Orignally i did not do it this way because sometimes there are conflicts between the indicator on the chart and the Text in the window however all appears fine and it ran well today with no problems.
Just load it over the existing indicator or if you want to retain the separate window 2 indicator system just rename the new one when you save it.
