Trans Quantity not updating properly
BlueCollarDayTrading replied to BlueCollarDayTrading's topic in Support
I have an intraday chart with trading enabled, an historical chart, a Trade Ticket, a DOM, and Thinkorswim open running a scan. I also have the MT Dashboard, Account View, a single Watchlist with a few symbols usually about 15-20. When a new stock pops up in the the scanner I put it into the intraday chart which is linked to the historical, DOM, and trade ticket. If I enter a trade I put the symbol in a new intraday chart. The Quantity does not update if it is a new symbol. The quantity will update properly if I am getting the symbol data in a watchlist. However, I just checked it with a random symbol and it does not update to the proper quantity if I am not receiving data for that symbol. As you mentioned it is set to update if the quote comes in late. I think this is more the issue is if there is a longer delay in backfilling the symbol it does not work. I will check to see if the issue correlates with symbols that do not backfill as quick. -
Trans Quantity not updating properly

Is this a bug you can fix. Or maybe even make a button that will update to the Last price and set the quantity. -

No I am using Thinkorswim scanners. -

I am using symbols that appear in my scan not in my portfolio/watchlist. If I have a symbol in a watchlist it does update but does not update for any other symbols. -
So the problem is the Quantity does not update properly when changing symbols. So in the Application Settings> Trading> Accounts> Quantity> Trans. Value $ (You are able to set a dollar value for trades and this will calculate the share size for you. Great love this feature.) However, so if the Setting has $25,000 - QTY Min 1, Max 25,000, Round QTY Down to Nearest 1 for this setting, and if I have symbol X on a chart and it is a $25 dollar stock and the quantity is set 1000 shares, and if I change it to symbol Y and that symbol is a $100 dollar stock it will still be 1000 shares. Is this a bug or is the software not able to update this value in real time.

Could you make an option to show Midpoint of Opening Range. Leaving it as an option to show or not show would be great for those who don't want to show it. Also being able to use it in Paintbar calculation would be great if anyone wanted.

Always on Top for Trade Ticket
BlueCollarDayTrading replied to BlueCollarDayTrading's question in Feature Requests
ok -
I like to use the chart trading primarily, however sometimes for stocks with larger ranges, it is harder to get that line on the exact price. For these I prefer to use a Trade Ticket to set my price. I like to put the Trade Ticket over the chart I am viewing also. However when I click on the chart the Trade Ticket goes behind the Chart. If there were an option to have Trade Ticket "Always on Top" this would be great.

How to reference a candle with timestamp
BlueCollarDayTrading replied to BlueCollarDayTrading's topic in Support
Been trying to use this but it does not work in real time. It only works correctly in backfills, so good for back testing. I have been trying to figure out what makes it work consistently and what makes it fail. I believe it has to do with the first tick of the candle being an uptick to be green and a down tick to be red. It may have something to do with using a Boolean.

How to reference a candle with timestamp
BlueCollarDayTrading replied to BlueCollarDayTrading's topic in Support
Been working this since yesterday. I am not able to get it to work for the simplest thing. I am trying to simply get it to work for Green if true and Red if false. Then I tried to get it to simply do Green if true and nothing if false. All I get is a green. I set a paintbar to do a green band at top if true and nothing if false. It give me a green band at top on all charts no matter. Can you show me how I can get a Green if True, A Red if False, and White if Close==Open Programing is not my thing but I am trying to figure this out -

How to reference a candle with timestamp
BlueCollarDayTrading replied to BlueCollarDayTrading's topic in Support
What I am trying to do is check the Open and Close of the 9am candle only and then do something. for example after 45 mins into the market open (1015am EST) I still want to check if the 9am candle close was above or below the 9am candle open. Then I will run some calculations depending on if the 9am candle is a green or red bar. I want to run a scan/paintbar that checks the 9am candle for red or green close and then does some calculations on the current bar. I have the calculations for the current bar I just can't figure out how to do a specific bar in the past data. Been trying to use time. -

Not sure how your code is working. How can I check if a candle close is greater than a candle open at 9am EST . (9am is in the premarket as you know) and if a candle close is less than candle open -
Is there any way I can reference the OHLC of a candle with time ie Checking the close of the bar at 9am within a scan/paintbars
