Sorry. Yes, it was for the local version. And your helpful reply fixed matters.

Thank you.

James.

Hi there,

I'm certain I asked this before, and with your help got it fixed, but I cannot find the post in the forum!

Anyway... When launching fxDreema, usually the last used project is loaded. This has stopped, and now I see one loaded some time ago. I seem to remember the fix was easy, and involved removing a file and relaunching, but can't remember which one!

Thanks again,

James.

Sorry - please refresh my memory...

In the Buy now / Sell now block, the Slippage box prevents a buy or sell if the actual slippage is greater than that set? Correct?

Ah ha! I have it! You gave me the clue in your last post. Removing list.ini didn't do it, but removing lastloaded did! Must have been a corruption somewhere in the file stopping the update.

I effectively did this when upgrading from 089 to 090. This is my usual method:

create a new folder c:\fxdreema_090
copy c:\fxdreema_089\data to c:\fxdreema_090
install the new version into c:\fxdreema_090

And the problem remained!

I think the problem is that .lastloaded.fxdb isn't updating. Its staying the same. The permissions are all fine in Windows, so it must be something else. For example, lastloaded had a modified time of 13:17h. I launched fxDreema (local v.90), loaded project1 and made a minor change, left the computer till 13:45h and closed fxDreema. The modified time on lastloaded didn't change.

I re-launched fxDreema, and project2 came up first, despite being second in the list in the "Load Project" dialogue.

The lastloaded file still hasn't changed.

No. Haven't deleted any folders. After installing, I copy over the data folder from the old fxdreema version to the new.

Thus I end up with fxdreema_088, fxdreema_089... etc.

Actually, I may have come across another loading issue in local build 089.

On creating a new project I get a white screen with error message:

Then, after re-starting fxDreema, the project is available in the list and seems to open OK.

My MT4 is stored in C:\Users{username}\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\414241DA7A1229935CE66AB277C3BC2F, and fxDreema in C:\Users{username}\fxDreema_089.

I first noticed this in local 088, it that's any help.

Yes. Almost perfect!

Still doesn't load the last worked on project (top of the list in "Projects / Load Project") when launched:

Yes. I have this issue too. The fxdreema.exe loads, but project fails to load upon launch of the .exe. It just waits and waits and waits..!

Back to local v.088... which brings me to another tiny issue - sorry! Local v.088 doesn't start with the previously worked on project loaded.

Thanks again,

James.

Don't know what ZB is either!

I just think that you could do what the wizard does soooo much better! And make money from your labours!

Anyway, hey ho!

No. I'm only working with MT and Ninja. But I have read articles which give NinjaTrader a better report than the grand-father of them all, TradeStation, and at a fraction of the cost.

Sometimes "free" isn't entirely the best solution, and you do get what you pay for - or not!
I guess NinjaTrader would claim to be more trader focussed since that's where its income comes from.

I believe the NinjaTrader scripting language is C#.

But I'm no programmer! Unfortunately...

Yes, I agree that NinjaTrader looks ugly. However, it is free to use for testing, and the Sim account is a true account which can be used totally free on a broker's platform for true price action simulated trading.

I think that it has quite a following in the USA. I'm not entirely sure how well followed MT4/5 is in the USA, it being Russian and all!! We all know how the Americans are in that regard...!

I use it as I found an interesting strategy which wasn't available for MT4/5, and although I was given the code and principles for the strategy, so far I've been unable to properly replicate it on MT4, even with the excellent fxDreema package!

From what I can work out, NinjaTrader works wery well as a trading platform, but they gear themselves towards traders either having access to programmers or ready-made off-the-shelf purchased strategies. I don't mind betting that if traders found they could easily program for themselves with fxDreema, there would be a decent demand for your software from them.

Just wanted to say thank you for a quick fix to the bug.

fxDreema is still the best!

...and I still think you ought to look into developing it for use on NinjaTrader strategies...!

Er... Sorry...!!

After a re-boot of the PC the problem seems to have evaporated!

Probably a Windows thing... I guess I'll never know!

Hello

Local version 087 seems to have a small bug:

This happens when doing an export to mq4 or ex4.

The file seems to be written, but I don't know if its correctly written.

Also seems to appear in project options, and project description view/edit.

Thanks, as always, for a great piece of software!

Delighted to hear that fxdreema won't be going away!

As far as the suggestion regarding NinjaTrader goes, the scripting language behind the EA is open source, so I'm sure they'd be delighted if someone else was making it easier for traders to use their software! As - no doubt - are MetaQuotes!

Anyway, just a thought...

...I don't have too many good ones! And maybe this isn't one of them!!

Also, have you considered extending fxDreema to be able to write Ninja Trader code? As far as I can tell, there isn't a good one on the market at all, and the Ninja one itself is so very basic as to be almost unusable. I wonder if the market in the USA is using MetaTrader less, and perhaps the likes of NinjaTrader and the others more?

Just a thought!

I'm really surprised you seem to have had no responses to this! Regrettably I'm neither young, a programmer, nor endowed with sufficient enthusiasm to learn programming!

I really like fxDreema, so I do hope it won't disappear. I'm also disappointed it doesn't seem to earn well for you. It really deserves to. Its light years ahead of the competition.

I wish I could help.
