{quote} Interesting story auric! I've not really dived into automated trading and probably wouldn't for some time, I'm not confident enough in my own approach to systematize it yet, but that could happen in the future. Even if said system was profitable I probably wouldn't hand it out in case it didn't work for some people, dealing with my own losses is hard enough but dealing with strangers would be dreadful!
Yeah, it is (might) not (be) necessarily about the "trading system" as we know here.. but more more of like extracting the vital information out of the news/data BEFORe others do as well... The trading then is much easier since some correlations are known. For example.. We do know that CERTAIN news/info DOES move the market in KNOWN way... The key is to extract that information as soon as it gets released... so you need automated content readers (context recognition, not just words) but then you would also need technical advantage (latency etc...) so that your trade (order) gets before others This is again, not trading as we know it... but it is a huge market.. In fact I do know about what, maybe morally chalenging market that seems to be completely unexploited or predominately manual traded with huge lag... I do not want to go to deep now but... imagine if you could have a model that tracks certain parameters in the market/news... and extract that much sooner than others... By the way, there is heavy money being thrown in (private) weather forecasts... and weather is correlated to (some) markets... There are even trickier ones... when some people trade certain unfortunate events... etc etc...

To get you some idea..
You do remember the quote from WS87... aka Wall Street (1987)
"Thirty seconds after the Challenger blew up, he's on the phone selling NASA stocks short."
https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/e2bd0b4...2-45e9f4e8a53f

Again, some trades are very morally questionable.. For example in series Billions (TV Series 2016-) build initial wealth (for his hedge fund) in morally questionable, quite some chunk of the story is around that fact...

But imagine you would specialise in some area that you could model certain events much better then (bigger) players...
Finding/establishing (co)relation between certain events and modelling/forecasting certain thing.
Well let me stop right there... but I won't discuss it here further

MIND-F FUTURISM
I have some interesting design/concepts for certain programs/algorithms/plug-ins (that were manually tested already).. when you could have massive ADVANCE info... that would ALERT you about certain things... which you could later trade on manually (or sell the OUTPUTs to interested parties)... or connect it directly with trading...

Just to give you some FUTURISTIC insight, read it carefully... Someday... the programs/algorithms will be so advanced that the pilots would be able to fly plane by watching their airline CHART live (assuming all other parameters nominal, just the current-flight parameter changing Do you understand? Imagine having only STOCK chart and ZERO other instruments on board, but you have the controls.. just not the monitors/displays... no feedback... You try to LOWER the plane (too much)... stock DIVES... means you are too low... you correct a little... and so forth with trial and error... Because the software would model this out of flight transponder BETTER... I have checked certain markets models and some market are totally unexploited or the existing model is too basic or lagging by hours!
Can you afford to take that chance?

Yeah sounds like you'd need a pretty advanced system to automate trades based on scraping news. I'm sure there are those that try, good luck to them I say

Not necessarily advanced If you are talking about scalping HIGH-IMPACT news AFTER the major economic news (just when) data is being released with pre-known correlations... and would like to EARN big on that MOVE.. BEFORE other players are kicking it.. you would have to put massive money to secure the best collocation and/or closest as possible location/backbone to the market. It is rather simplistic but at some level it gets complex too.. but not trade wise, just tech-wise.. how to optimise signal speed/distance

About other types of trading... Not necessarily advanced either.. You would just have to thing bigger than some players... All are focused on some KNOWN parameters..
if you could find some that noone looks at.. you would have some heavy insights...

In all honesty.. some or quite many try to present the system as OVERcomplicated just to put many people off... when in the insides there are either inside info (no pun or just some simple parameters/arbitrage etc... or this what I was talking about above... SUPERSPEED TRADE ORDER that is faster then others
Can you afford to take that chance?

Curious issue, the text overall seems larger than it should be. Here's how mine currently looks:

Do you have any settings that is scaling the text in MT4?

I don't know of any settings that scale the text.

I'm thinking this might be some windows scaling going on to compensate for high-dpi. I can't replicate myself though being on 1080p. I don't think this can be automatically fixed but I can work on an update that will allow you to change the font-size and column widths.

Outside of that, can you try download the 'inline' version (click here) and see if the problem still occurs there? Be sure to remove the existing one before attaching the inline one.

Weird. Some Hi-DPI-related issue is the only thing I can think of either.

If you have Windows 10, what is your 'Make everything bigger' setting?

Yup it's certainly Windows scaling, I'm working on a quick update now so you can adjust the text size in the indicator

v1.0.2 is out, I didn't add anything to do with the column widths yet but you can now adjust the text size. Download the update from the main post and let me know if that helps: https://www.metalsmine.com/showthread.php?t=925658

Thank you! It definitely help, but I have to get the text size down to 4 to avoid the overcrowding, so it's tough to read, but looks better.

Well it's a step in the right direction

Okay so the next update will do the following:

  1. Adjust column widths
  2. Adjust row heights

I think with those controls you'll be able to stick with the default font size (which is 8) and then play with the columns widths/row heights so the entire table looks solid and more importantly is readable.

I'm a little bogged down at the moment but I'll try get that done for tomorrow

Also - just one more piece of feedback, I noticed that if you set 'ShowLowImpactResults' to false. It doesn't remove the Low Impact Results in the historic candles. Not sure if that's expected behaviour or not? But thought I would flag it.

Ah that is a bug, thanks!

I came up with a quicker solution for myself and yourself but haven't given it much of a beating so I'm including v1.0.3-beta below for you, it does two things:

  1. Adds a TableScaling option (default is 100 which represents 100%)
  2. Fixes the bug you mentioned (impacts not filtered on candles)

With the new TableScaling option, you should be able to revert your TextSize to 8 (or whatever is best for you) then increase the scaling, the number is treated as a percentage so a value of 110 means the table will grow by 10%. Here's an example of my quick test using a larger text size and 200% scaling:
