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.

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.

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.

Export your paintbar and send it to us support@medvedtrader.comBeen trying to use this but it does not work in real time. It only works correctly in backfills, so good for back testing.

It works correctly now.
Thanks very much for the help, I really appreciate it.

Ah ok. I misunderstood.
Boolean Green9AMCandle;
DateTime PrevTimeStamp;public void MainCalculation()
{
var Cutoff = TradingDay.SessionStart.AddMinutes(-30);
if (Timestamp >= Cutoff && PrevTimeStamp<=Cutoff)
{
Green9AMCandle = Open>Close;
}
PrevTimeStamp = Timestamp;if (Green9AMCandle)
{
... do something here...
}
}
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

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
-
Can you put an option to show a Flatten button in the Account View -> Positions -> Row for each position so it is possible to flatten positions individually quickly from this window if in multiple positions.
-
Sounds great. Thanks for the reply
Do you have an idea yet when that will be roughly?
-
Can you add BUY BID and SELL ASK buttons on the chart trading tab?

Right. I know they are different things but my point was if the datafeed coming from TD doesn't even provide ETB/HTB into MT then I highly doubt SSR information is provided by any datafeeds. MT is limited by what the data feeds provide.
I am not using TD data feed. I am using Interactive Brokers TWS which shows SSR stock in the TWS platform.

Shortable and Short Sale Restriction are different things. I already use the Shortable column.
Thanks for the information though.
-
Is there anyway to know if a stock is on Short Sale Restriction in MT.
I have to put each stock in IB TWS to see if it is SSR. So every time I see a stock I want to short I have to put into IB TWS to check. This can be slow process when a stock is moving quickly. In a MT Watchlist/portfolio I don't see where it says this anywhere.

Is there anyway to reference a specific candle as the day progresses.
Can I reference the first candle of the intraday or a specific candle during the day.
-
Ok it seems the indexed variable Timestamp would work.
Q. I live in US Central time zone which is UTC -5. The market opens at 8:30 AM here. Which is 1:30 PM UTC. If I want to check a candles time do I use the time format 1:30 PM or 13:30 or 1330
ie
//Time is between 8am CST and 830am CST
if Timestamp < 1330 && Timestamp >= 1300 (do XYZ)
//Market is open for regular trading hours
else if Timestamp >= 1330 (do ABC)
-
Thank you, sir
-
Within a Paintbar Advanced script is there a function to reference time
ie
if TIME > 0930 (do XYZ)
or
if TIME < 0930 && TIME > 0900 (do ABC)
Trans Quantity not updating properly
in Support
Posted · Edited by BlueCollarDayTrading
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.
