will the fxDreema be further developed?

[Alepie]

last update July 2018...
When will there be new updates and which features await us?

[l'andorrà]

Good question. I'm also expecting what is coming...and when.

[FXFun]

Is Mr FXDreema alive? Please answer.

• No developments for exactly 2 years.

• No answer to this question, that many ask themselves for at least 10 months.

Seems like a simple question. Can be answered by Yes or No.

Can we expect further developements of FXDreema or not?

Is there any point of suggesting good ideas for further developement or not?

He is just maintaining the service as is, there is not that much demand for further features. The project has been going for ~10 years now, I'm sure he has a life outside this project as well...

There is surely some need for "ease of use" improvements, but in terms of pure functionality, this is near perfect to me

MrFxdreema look so handsome. He look like Jedi, I wish him and every one be happy and more well being. May God bless every one.

@roar Are you guessing or have information that it's so?

I love the basic idea of FXDreema and how we use it.

I also absolutely loved Windows 95 as well - in 1995. But Win 7 became much better, further down the line. It sure would have been a pitty if we still used Win 95 today, would you not agree?

FXDreema is good in its core idea, but its certainly not perfect.

I and many others are constantly hitting the ceiling in our projects. We build and build and need that next level to go to, but we just hit the ceiling all the time.

There is room both to fix many small but basic details, as well to introduce things that would take the platform to the NEXT LEVEL.

One of these features would be the easy creation of Custom Blocks, by simply marking a bunch of other blocks and create a new custom block, instead using the Studio, which is way to hard to use.

The code for the blocks is already being created automatically. Now it only needs to be able to be SAVED. Not much more needed than saving that piece of custom Super Block + code for use in other projects, together with the automatic creation of all of its Constants and Variables.

Now, we need to recreate everything for every new project, instead of easily reuse our already created Custom Super Blocks.

I could come up with at least 10 good development improvements that would greatly improve the experience. Some would probably be relatively easy to implement.

But first I need to know if there is any intention of further developing the platform at all, so I don't waste my time writing it all down.

Also, we need to consider programming the next level on our own, if nothing more is going to happen here.

Again, I take notice that there are no answers to clarify the situation or signs of life from the developer on this topic, for 10 months, which also is worring.

We need an answer asap. What's going on?

Is FXDreema a dead end project or is the a new bright future awaiting us?

i agree with roar

[roar]

@fxfun its just how I understand it.

You can always copy blocks between projects, so this is not a big problem.

[FXFun]

@roar Perhaps you are not reusing much code.

I create custom functions which could have MANY blocks. Trading logics, Money Management rutines, reports etc.

It becomes quite a lot, incl MANY constants and variables. And they are NOT copied automatically unfortunatelly.

I have tried to copy blocks around. My experience is that many times it mysteriously doesn't work, even thought everything seems the same.

The idea of recreating something that was already created makes you give up in the end.

Also the building space get's all cluttered and hard to grasp in hugh projects. While all functions could be neetly packaged within Super Custom Blocks.

Uploading/importing of copies of EAs also didn't sometimes show the same version with blocks missing.

There are blocks with many faults, like extending a line to the LEFT, extends it to the RIGHT aso.

MT5 also works poorly.

Many useful MQL functions aren't even implemented yet in FXDreema. It's like getting a handicap version of MQL4.

How about the ability to Drag-n-Drop around the info lines in COMMENTS to re-order the output lines, just the same as you can do with Constants & Variables? Instead if I want to reorder it I have to delete all my job and renter it in a different order. Then later I want data inbetween, and then I need to delete all again, like if I want some data at the top.

There is a lot that needs to be fixed. And there seems to be no developent. Why?

What's the status now and for the future of FXDreema? It would feel honest to at least get a response and some true info of goals, intentions etc.

In the end, anything that doesn't progress will die away, while somebody else takes developent to the next level in a new service.

Best way to describe FXDreema status today is it's Coitus Interruptus, in a most anticlimactic way. You get something good but you can just not reach the ultimate climax.

@zarbitz Thanks. You too

@fxfun ... I don't get you . I understand your observation and agree with some but, the real reason FXdreema was started was not to help already programmers?.. This here is for people, like me that cannot code if their life depends on it, and so forth.. If you feel you are wasting your time, to use your words,.. start your own platform with this wonderful ideas you have? I really think you will be very successful! .... FXdreema owner, 10 years ago, saw the need and started this platform. It is just logic to say in 10 years from now, some member on your created platform will ask the same questions you are asking now?.... who knows

[fxDreema]

Hi all. I was also thinking about many possible features through the years, but I guess I really hit some ceilings. The main problem is lack of motivation to do anything. The website generates good profit for my country and even if I want more (as any person in the wold), I don't need more profits. There is a difference between want and need here, and the difference is I guess in the desire to make more

Unfortunately (or not), I don't see competition from other websites... not that I'm looking if there is any. I'm saying this because I was thinking that something like this can motivate me, it's good to have some competition. But if I don't see any, the other trap is that I think that the website is the best it can be and there is not real need to do more. Also, adding more features means more features to be maintained in the future, to which my brain automatically says "no".

So I don't know really. I also prefer to be motivated and do more, but the psychology is stronger than that. Otherwise I'm doing stuff in the background. The database as it is now is not constructed very well and I'm working on a new way to write the data on it. This is what I'm mostly doing - bettering the code of the website itself. But even this I'm doing slowly.

I have tried to copy blocks around.

The thing is, in the programming world copying stuff over and over again is very bad practice. That's why I'm not thinking how to make that happen easily. Instead, blocks (or groups of blocks) should be reused. In programming languages there are functions and classes that can be reused. But people who are using this website are mostly non-programmers, so even if there is an easy way to somehow reuse blocks, try to teach them to do it that way It's much easier to just copy and paste, because you immediately see the result. To think about how some groups of blocks are reused, this is hard for regular people.

[AlphaOmega]

@fxdreema ... I hear you, you sound like somebody been there done it and got the T-shirt type ... If it is not money or competition, why not help out with the problematic blocks we newbies are struggling with? We would be very grateful, You can see it as charity work, giving something back to the people that 'helped' you become monetary self sustainable... And you only work on stuff that interest you... Hows that?

For etc.
Here is the indicator and my project... nobody answered me when I posted it some 2 weeks ago... (Andorra just replied)

Except if you use very skilled coding mechanisms which many of us subscribers have no clue about.
The problem I have is that the block will not take orders if value below -10.0000. It does take the positive value. Also I have compare candle1 with 2, 2 with 3, and so forth but it is not working proficiently with the indicator..... the candle story does however work as a standalone ea.

Thank you for creating this tool.

[vnpython 0]

you want challenge? well, maybe do a section that allow us to make indicators! this would be great challenge!!

Edit: sometime lately i find my EA work in the past but when i tried to update it, now unable to work as intended... so i load up the old mq4 and compile again and it didnt work... until i remove 1 part (part of debugging process) and suddenly it work again. But the funny part is the old code able to work and now only work after remove 1 part.. did boss make update now and then?

[Jwabe]

We are your people, just having us should be your motivation.

There's lots of challenges, inline mt4/5 backtesting engines with optimization would be another one.

[Tim Stewart]

@fxdreema Thank you for a great website - I know how much work it took to develop PLUS now to maintain.

Sincerely Thank you!
