rambling

Hi, I'm trying to add the CAC 40 futures contract trading on Euronext France (MONEP) from IB and I can't get it to show. The specs and native symbology of the contract is here: http://www1.interactivebrokers.ch/contract_info/v3.9/index.php?action=Details&site=GEN&conid=191416943 Can you please help? Thanks.

Got it, thanks. Nicely done. Also sent you a screenshot of the tws charts.

OK, that's a pity but if can't be done then can't be done. I actually have this in TWS's own built-in charts and it's quite useful.

I mean a line drawn on the chart, I just hold the Shift on the keyboard, and then click and draw a horizontal line on the chart (with ticked extend left and right). The indicator does indeed show the current value label but those lines aren't shared across my other charts for the same symbol (I have 3 charts opened all synced showing the same symbol on 3 different time intervals).

Hi Jerry, is it possible to see price labels for horizontal lines on the Y axis? If currently not possible can you please consider adding this feature? Thanks.

Ah nice, I didn't realize there was a right click option there, yes that is a good way of doing it, very flexible formatting. Thanks.

Hi again, I'm having issues when clicking on the application on the taskbar to switch to it back from another app. What happens is that some windows show up, e.g. 2 of the 4 charts I have, or 1 chart and a portfolio, but other charts / portfolio do not (random windows). When I use ALT TAB it works as expected and the entire app shows correctly. In the settings - general, I have Separate task bar (*2), Child and Minimize settings all 4 unchecked.

Alright, maybe a future wishlist item then. Thanks.

OK so is there a way to add non dynamic padding on the Y axis? Currently the X and Y behaviors aren't consistent, I think one would expect that adding space on the right hand side of the chart by dragging the bottom X axis area would work the same for the Y axis and result in adding permanent space at the top and bottom of the chart no?

Hello Jerry, any plans for HiLo bars?

Btw looks like the Y axis padding doesn't stick, doing the same kind of dragging up/down, the setting is lost when I continue to scroll through the symbols, including coming back to that same symbol I originally set the padding on. Is this an issue or am I missing something?

Ah OK, so this is determined based on the pre market % settings, I've set them to 0 (don't need it) and this works fine for me. Thanks.

Hi, when I do this I can see criss-cross pattern in that added buffer space on the right. My charts use custom color set with white background and that pattern is showing up in blue. Any way I can get rid of that pattern?

Hi, I've also used the previous QT for many years and would like to test the new one. I use eSignal Data Manager and IB. Thanks.
