Can I please get an acknowledgement if you are working on the issue or not.

I spend every morning individually backfilling 300 symbols before the market opens. I have TD Ameritrade as my default backfill source. I have 2 portfolios 1 with 200 symbols and 1 with less than 100 symbols. I have my IB TWS platform running, along with Thinkorswim, and MT. I start at 8am CST 30 minutes before the market opens. I push the button to backfill the portfolio with 100 symbols and I see on my MT Dashboard (Source) I see symbols and beside AMTD I see numbers under BF. I do this also for my 200 symbol portfolio and I see the same thing. I then click on the first symbol (AAPL) and wait and the chart does not show any candles Premarket. I then check the symbol in TOS and IB and of course there is plenty of premarket activity for AAPL. So I right click on AAPL symbol in portfolio and click backfill AAPL and after a few seconds the chart populates. This repeats every morning I spend 30 minutes trying to get my 300 symbols filled by clicking on them individually. I can replicate this every morning for stocks. These are not just any stocks, these are stocks that show up with Premarket volume with a scanner in TOS. I mentioned this before and I sent you a file and you said there was no volume to backfill. So please believe me when I say there is an issue with this and check it as I have told you how I can verify it day after day after day..... I am so exhausted having to do this each morning. I hope every update fixes this but no change yet.

Can you add a Short Sale Restriction icon to watchlist/portfoliios, Trade Tickets, Level 2, Account View and any other places it would benefit?
I am having to always look at TWS for IB to see if a stock is SSR

Chart->Trading->Trading Settings does not list a Quantity Tab. I have all those checked in my Charts settings
-
Have no idea where to add the Quantity Tabs to chart. I do not see it in charts or settings.
I have the QTY TIF Sp Ins. Tab
-
I would like to request a Position Button on Charts-> Trading Tab. I find myself using the Chart trading feature exclusively. I find it easy to piece out of trades with the 1/2 button. At some point I want to set it to the current position size but I have to find it in the Position tab of Account view and type it in. A button to quick change quantity to position would be great.

I want to have an estimated price level that a stock will halt so I can exit a trade before that level if I do not want to hold into a Halt.

Found a webpage that has a Thinkorswim indicator for circuit breaker halts. I tried it and it works well.
Can you convert this to MT

Is there an upper indicator that will dynamically display Halt prices.
If not will you make one?

When I start MT around 8am CST I can get TDA to backfill but I must manually do it for each symbol. By the time the market is open it is getting streaming data for all symbols.
I understand there are some symbols that do not have premarket data. However when I find a symbol that has 500k volume premarket in my watchlist and I have already backfilled that watchlist and I then click on the symbol it was not backfilled and I have to manually select backfill. Tuesday morning I will have an example for you at 8am or so.
I am not worried about the futures because I can do those manually since there are only a few at a time.

I have 2 watchlist each with just under 500 symbols. S&P 500, and another with stocks not in the S&P 500 that I like to watch. Both of these are fed from TD Ameritrade for a total of 948 as it shows on Sources. I have the boxes checked to automatically backfill intraday and historic charts. Each morning when I load up MT I connect it to TDA and IB TWS for futures trading and stock trading. I use TDA as feed and backfill for stocks watchlist. At 8am when I turn load MT I push the backfill button on the SP500 and it goes for about 10 seconds then stops (using TDA as backfill). Then I push the button for backfill on the other watchlist and it goes for about 5 seconds. I see this from watching the Sources window on MY Dashboard window. Also if I send a symbol to trade with Ctrl+T it will not backfill I waited for 1 minute and then I have to right click and Backfill. I was leaving my PC on 24/7 to fix this as I tried to figure out if it was something on my end. Today I have come to the conclusion it is a bug. If not then I have no idea how to get it to backfill work properly anymore. This was not an issue previously with MT.

@CLK20 DOM is just showing zero's in the P&L Column and the capsule shows a dash for the unrealized profit.
@ESM20 the P&L Column does not show quarter ticks in the DOM. It shows 4, 4, 4, 4, 5,5,5,5.... instead of 4,4.25,4.50.4.75,5,5.25,5.50,5.75,6......

Is there a max number of threads it will utilize?

Thank you, sir
That did it, I was messing with the Time frames in the settings.

I am trying to have the Opening Range indicator set the Opening Range for the New York session and it will only set it for the 5pm start for Futures like ES and CL. So it starts at 5pm CST unitl 530pm CST. I would like it to set 830am CST to 9pm CST or whatever Range a user prefers?

I already do this. However I am trying to get my charting down to just one screen with MT.
8 small charts 4 longs and 4 shorts
Level 2
Time and Sales
Trade Ticket
Account View
Historic Charts
Spy Chart
Portfolio = removing this would free up lots of space if I could select symbols from the trade ticket and not have to type them in, or go to chart and right click then select trade to get it to populate in trade ticket
-
I was wondering if you could add the feature for Trade Ticket to save the last 8 or 10 symbols like in the Order Entry for IB TWS. IF it will save the last 10 symbols, I use this feature to load the 8 or 10 symbols I am watching for the day into the order entry box. Then I simply click on the symbol field and a pull down box appears to allow me to select a symbol from the last 10. This is great for speeding up your trading.

I just sent you the log file again. The same thing is happening but I found that the chart for AEL is not responding and dings when I click on it.
-
This is the second day in a row I am unable to exit the program at the end of the day. I have already sent you my log file to look at. The only way I am able to exit the program is through task manager.

Thanks for the quick fix

Used your work around of clearing previous days and it worked. Thanks for the help this saved me so much time.
Q. How do I know when MT is finished clearing the data and I should hit the backfill button? If I click the backfill button before it finishes clearing the previous days data will this mess up the data?
