tr222 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 How do you add the crosshair to the charts so when you scroll around the chart it highlights the date and OHLCV in a box in the corner. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 if it is not on automatically, you can hold down the SHIFT or CTRL+SHIFT keys to show the regular or free floating trace box If you wish to have it on all the time, go to SETTINGS / CHARTS / GENERAL - and check the box to have the trace always show.

ehjump Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Jerry, With the Trace, is there a way to stop the charts of less 'chart periods' from scrolling as one moves the cursor on the chart with a longer chart period like it was in QT? E.g. say you move the cursor on a chart that is 10hrs long from the 10th hr to the 8th hr, a linked chart that is 1hr long will scroll backwards, from say 9am to 7am, and stay there unless you move the cursor back to the 10th hr on the longer chart. This gets inconveniencing when one has more than a couple charts that are linked. If there isn't a way to do this now, maybe you can make "CTRL+SHIFT" (or some other combination) be the unscrolling option? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 what you describe happens the same way in QT and in MT. However, that only happens if you set cross-hair linking (QT) or trace linking (MT) on for the same color for the 2 windows. Otherwise, the program would not scroll the other windows.

ehjump Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Yes, that's what I mean - don't want the shorter-period cross-hair linked charts to scroll. That is, the cross hairs on all the cross-hair linked charts can move, but the charts themselves should not scroll because you are moving the cursor around. Put up 2 charts that are cross-hair linked with one of the charts, chart A, having a period (not chart frequency) of 10hrs and chart B having period of 1hr, you'll see chart B scroll as you move the cursor on chart A from right to left. Note: If both charts have the same period you won't notice the scrolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Medved Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Just released the version that has Auto Scroll and sync options in the Trace Link dropdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehjump Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 This is good - now charts with shorter periods do not scroll when I perform the trace on longer charts that are hair-pin linked to the shorter charts by default. Thanks a lot. Quick question: how does one access the auto scroll option? When I click the drop-down arrow on the OHLCV I don't see an option for auto scrolling.

Jerry Medved Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 you know the button on the caption to enable Trace Linking - where you pick the trace cursor color? Click on that button's dropdown. After the list of colors, there are now 3 other menu items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
