Default Settings (.set) file attached. 

Use the attached file as default settings instead of the built-in default settings.

Access the Expert Inputs (by pushing F7 funtion key, or click in the upper left corner of the chart).

Press the Load button and select the attached file from the place you downloaded it to, and then press OK.

As you might know, it is not possible to back test a dashboard based system.

I will soon prepare a demo version with few limitations for people to forward test it on demo accounts.

Demo version posted HERE

Version 1.41 upgrade 
================== 

Added inputs: 
----------------- 
1- Primary Indicator Set : Here you can choose which Indicator set is the primary set for signals.  Options are : 

• None: this option leave the signals as they were calculated in version 1.40, 
• Set 1: this option will make Indicators Set 1 the primary set for filtering the signals 
• Set 2: this option will make Indicators Set 2 the primary set for filtering the signals 

Fixed Bugs: 
-------------- 
1- fixed a bug when selecting specific symbols to trade.

DEMO of this upgrade can be downloaded HERE.

New demo version of the updated Currency Dashboard Trader is shared here : 
https://www.mql5.com/en/blogs/post/723639#comment_12080953

UPDATE (v1.50) 
============= 

The major update in this version is the Normalized Values of Indicators instead of the raw values in previous versions. 
This gives equal weight to all indicators. 

The second update is the introduction of a new option (Use Recommended Threshold (auto)). 
Setting this parameter to True, the Expert will automatically calculate the recommended threshold value and use it instead of the manually entered (Pair Threshold Value). 

Again, I am providing this demo version so that traders can fully test before deciding to buy it, because the system functions (dashboard, multi-currency, multi-symbol, interactive buttons, basket functions ... etc) can not be tested in MT4 Strategy Tester.

Done, sorry for the delay.
