Got a popup window that says failed login - invalid username or password. I went to the TDA website and my username and password work just fine.

MT was working in pre-market, then I say the update notification and did the update, now MT won't login in.

What is the deal with TDA login these days? I have MT scheduled to start every day at 8:15 am. Again this morning all of my pre-market data is missing because quotes were stopped while yet another text a code prompt was on my screen. Fortunately I was home and checked at 9:30 just in time, otherwise my intraday date would've also been missing due to the quotes being stopped, and yes I've checked the "trust this device" box every time I've entered a code. This is starting to get ridiculous.

Lately TDA has been sending me those 'text you a code to logon' messages a couple of times a week and twice just this morning. If I exit the request without entering a code then quotes are stopped. Perhaps Dr PennyStock missed that popup window so his quotes were shut off. Exiting MT and starting it again always seems to fix it for me. Just a thought.

It does seem to be getting better, I'll just wait and see how the day goes.

MT ran fine all week, then this morning I installed the 05/21/20 version 1.1.9055.1 and now I'm having account access and quote issues with AMTD. On start-up I was prompted by AMTD to text me an access code which I did. Now whenever I try and access my account information through MT it takes about 30-seconds to retrieve it and quotes freeze. Then when I attempt to close the account view window it hangs for about 30-seconds, then closes, then quotes resume.

I wish you weren't so great at this so I could say that you suck! 😉

It's working just fine for me except the backfill, so what say we just leave it be!

AMTD supports the @VX quote, it's just the backfill I can't get to work.

Thanks, got it to work but it won't backfill using TDA or Yahoo. Can it be backfilled or do I just have to wait and let the data accumulate over time?

Does anyone know the @XX index symbol for the VIX futures using TD Ameritrade as the quote source?

Thank you.

Okay cool, got those working! 👍

Where do I find the list of futures tickers from TDA, I've looked and I can't find them. As to the CME GLOBEX, I made the switch and the auto refresh still doesn't work. 🤷‍♂️

Is Yahoo still a legitimate quote source in MT? I'm trying to use it in a watchlist for futures quotes since TDA doesn't have them. I selected Yahoo as the quote source with a 30-second refresh rate, however it will retrieve the quotes only when I manually refresh them, it will not refresh them automatically every 30-seconds.

It was there 2 updates ago, then disappeared 1 update ago, then the update this morning brought it back again. All of these updates were the Beta ones. If I wait 30 seconds it goes away but the tall row space it took up remains. Hitting F5 does not make it go away.

The clip in my first post is from my transaction window right after I modified one of my open option orders. That SUBMIT/DISCARD line remains after I click SUBMIT.

...and how to I get rid of it permanently? It's been showing up after I modify an open order.

I haven't been able to get quotes today since 5-minutes after the opening bell. Anyone else?

Hmm, well that sucks...

Ticker: ET January 24th Calls L2 works for the 13.5 Calls but not the 14 ones. It's actually the same issue for Puts with an Ask and not a Bid.

I'm finding that I can't get L2 to display for options that only have an Ask and no Bid. I would think it should still give me a list the Asks instead of a blank slate. TDA is the quote source.

Beta Version: 1.1.8840.1 (2019-12-05), could you explain how to use the new feature: ADDED - COMMAND LINE option to launch MT from web page

Is there a way to make this feature more readily accessible? Even adding it the right click menu of the "Total:" line would help. I keep it checked by default only to keep the size of the portfolio window smaller, but often I uncheck it when I'm getting ready to close positions so that I can figure the FIFO share price I need to be in the green.

Well I'd like to play the popular fast moving ones, but MT just can't seem to keep up with those. ↘️ 🤪
