When try to double-click on the advanced currency meter to load it, nothing happens. I can load the EA but it comes up with and error saying that the currency strength  meter needs to be loaded.
If its not too much trouble, you can log onto my VPS and check.

I have the exact same problem when using a VPS, the ACM works fine on my PC and on some brokers on a VPS it doesn't seem to respond. 
I actually this same discussion a while ago on the forum. 
I will look at alternatives.

I'm not sure if I'm using the same Advanced Currency Meter as you guys, but mine also is not working. It simply doesn't load. So I understand now what milo1969 meant.

I don't understand that indi.
Maybe it doesn't like the updates.
I ill recode the EA to get symbols from the Market Watch window.
It will then run through each symbol in your Market watch.

Admin, something like this?

Code: [Select]
for (int syms = 0;syms <=SymbolsTotal(1);syms++)

   {string ccy = SymbolName(syms,1);

Are your closes only on TP or SL?
I ran the EA today on demo account, as this is the only way to really test it, it took 6 trades, and won 5. (Maybe only because after I tested the trailing stop and move to break even functions, I moved the TP to 40 pips and SL to 20) But I am impressed with day 1 on the market.

Anyway, hang in there, I am busy with the new coding. Should be done not to long from now.

Yes, something like that will work to go through all symbols. A 'true' or '1' for SymbolName() and SymbolsTotal() would skip other valid symbols that are not currently showing up in the MarketWatch window. Maybe that's what you want though.

Yes for now just testing on closing on TP and SL. Did very well today winning about 25 trades and no loss but used big stop loss to let the trades breath.

I've done it with SymbolName(syms,1) , the 1 will only return symbols in the market watch?

Test it with this please.
No more currency meter needed (which frees up system resources)
I made it v3.0 (and not 2.xx) to differentiate between the ACM and MarketWatch  versions. (Please do not run both at the same time on live accounts, unless you change the Magic number)

FWIW, this is just in testing mode on a demo account, it takes trades only on pairs which are :
  • Valid entry signal (I should hope so :D)
  • Spread on those pairs are less than set spread.
This is the "result" so far, I have 32 currencies open in my MarketWatch, just for interest sake, and I received Odin buy/sell alerts on about 13 of them, and these are the only trades it took. (So either the Alerts was inside the price lines, or the spread was too high)

There is way to use the Symbol path, however, each broker has different Symbol trees. 
I will see how I can do it with a drop down menu, it might take me a while.
I just want to finish another member's EA 1st.

Kindly advise how to set the maximum spread allowed. After this number, trades wont be taken. I want to know this because the EA just took a trade on a pair with a spread of 365 pips

I hope it was on a demo account.
Thanks for pointing it out, like I said earlier, I can't do a full on test on the EA as it won't run in strategy tester. It turns out I missed I set of brackets, it should be fixed now.
Please replace the EA you have with this one, it will still manage the open trades (I didn't change the version nr for that simple reason).
