Wishlist Item for new version

[dscoles]

I would love to be able to search for block numbers. We can click on "delete" on a variable to see which blocks contain that variable. But finding it can require a lot of searching. I realize from your comments that most developers are not generating EAs containing 300 or 400 blocks. But my tweaking of close parameters, in particular, generates hundreds of blocks of code and a way to search would be a great time saver for me.

Thanks,

Dwight

I will cover these problems once after I upload the new version of fxDreema. I also find myself lost when I have to find some block number. There are people with many many blocks, but usually they don't complain, I don't know why.

I also think that I might decide to hide block numbers somehow. We only need them to arrange blocks execution order when blocks are connected in parallel, but even this reason is not very well understood by many people.

Highlighting blocks is pretty easy, I will have no problems with this when I decide what to do with block numbers.

By the way I was just searching for good opinions about fxDreema in the forum, so I can use them in the future Testimonials page. Here is just a little preview of how it will probably look like: http://prntscr.com/7xd6rk So I decided to give you a little bonus, one extra month for free

Thank you for the little "bonus". It is indeed appreciated!

I would guess that the reason they don't complain is that they are so blown away by your product that they do not consider the little irritants to be substantial. And, really, they are insubstantial.

The job you have done is amazing. I have created a few minor tools in the past, and cannot even begin to imagine the thousands of hours you had to put in for this project to work in the flawless way it does. Judging from some of your comments, FXDREEMA is a labor of love and it is not about the money. Thank you for giving us all a "leg up" on our projects.

Wishing you much success,

Dwight

Thanks for the once per bar fix, works great!

Some other suggestions:
Very minor annoyances (not urgent in any way)

** when I select a variable to become an external variable, would it be possible that it shows up in variables overview, in the right top corner? That way I can reuse it in other places easily, without creating an additional variable

** when I remove the EA from the chart it does not remove the Spread Calc Message, and EA is working confirmation, would be cleaner if it is removed on deinit

** sendnotification function, but I believe you are working on it already

** ability to add the result of a condition to comments

** when I add comments I prefer to add a background, so the text does not get obscured by other chart objects
I have a added a custom block to add init and one to deint for respectively creating and deleting the object
I can send you my code version if wanted.

fxDreema thanks for the great support and the excellent product, I am finally able to create working EAs and flesh out my trading ideas easily and quickly! I will continue to use to understand your product even better.

I will keep you posted if I find other wishes

Cheers

Variables will not be able to work as input parameters and their names will be defined directly.

"Stopped" message should appear instead of "Working" when the EA is removed

Tell me at least if SendNotification works with new rows or it will be stupid if I make it the same way as in Alert

I don't understand why this is a good thing. The problem is that you can try to "Comment" the result of a Condition before the Condition runs... then what happen?

This is a little bit... I don't now...

[holygrailfx]

yes Stopped message appears, which is nice if you just disable autotarding but I would prefer the whole message dissapears when I remove the EA, otherwise it messes up my template, I get template with a fixed message spread equals such and such and status: stopped everywhere ;-(

For notifications, in my opinion it does NOT work with new rows, just one line of text limited by number characters,

If the little bit refers to object creation
On init I created a custom block: with

ObjectCreate("LabelBox1", OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0); ObjectSetText("LabelBox1","g",200,"Webdings",SteelBlue); ObjectSet("LabelBox1", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 0); ObjectSet("LabelBox1", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 2); ObjectSet("LabelBox1",OBJPROP_BACK,0);ObjectSet("LabelBox1",OBJPROP_CORNER,3);

and on deInit

ObjectDelete("LabelBox1");

which removes the object on removal of the EA

it gives a block in the lower right corner

Hope this helps

[fxDreema]

There is a block "Delete objects" and it can delete objects based on their name. All special objects created by fxDreema have names starting with fxd_ and this can be used as a prefix to find them and delete them at any time. In your case - under "on Deinit"

It looks that I will bother my sister for her Android

This sqare has fixed width and this is what I don't like. Comments can be short or long, on x and on y... this sqare appears "disconnected" from the comment itself. With "Draw shape" we can draw rectangles with fixed position, but they are transparent. At least they are not sqare. I think It's better to add color settings for fonts, because now they are yellow and white, which does not look very well with white background.

[holygrailfx]

Yes
It is a ugly square shape not related to the comments
but it serves my purpose, I am sure there are more elegant and better ways.
But this is a quick easy fix for me

Looking forward to the android...

Another quick question
are we allowed to set a fractional pip in SpreadFilter for the Fixed Spread Value?

I tested messages on this LG phone and it appeared the same as in the Alert. Of course, after the message is opened. So I'm gonna make it the same way as in "Alert" without the alert itself.

Yes, it is "double" value

[fxDreema]

Added, you can try it, "Phone notification"

[holygrailfx]

thanks I will try it out
