  1. No I actually don't remember that being in Medved Trader. I think I remember it being in Quotetracker but not MT. Must have been a while ago, possibly before I started using MT. It's unfortunate that it's to difficult to implement it, I found it to be a useful tool back in QT.

  2. In the raw data window for any ticker we see each line for the price shares were traded and the number of shares traded. Could we get an option to have that volume cumulative for the day? For example I'd like to see what the volume was yesterday all the way up until lunchtime by looking in the raw data for yesterday at noon and compare that cumulative volume to the volume today. This can help to see if interest is going up or down day to day.

  3. I can understand that when viewing multiple days, but for the current day the previous close figure is readily available. At the very least use the last trade before 16.00.00 because that one is usually wrong due to the raw data being recorded with a slight delay.

  4. Why is it that charts use raw data for the previous close indicator instead of the data from the quote source? I find this annoying since the last trade in yesterday's raw data more often than not is not the same as the actual previous close amount.

    I've noticed an issue with the inline chart for the "TOTAL". The inline chart does not match the chart that opens when double clicking on the TOTAL symbol. I've attached an image of the open chart right below the inline chart so you can see how it differs. This portfolio only contains short positions so I don't know if that affects it or not. Yesterday I cleared all of the data for TOTAL so it would start fresh today and that obviously made no difference.

  6. Only 1 raw data window and 1 level 2 window are open. Yes I'm comparing the L2 data to the raw data. I see the trade in raw data then about 8-10 seconds later the traded shares are subtracted in the L2 window.

  7. There are ones that have [$$] in their headlines which initial load and show maybe one paragraph, but once you click on the "Story Continues" button you have be a paid subscriber to read the whole article.

    Here's another example of one I'm talking about. Once you open the link you're presented with other links for various companies that once you click on them you are prompted to subscribe to get their report.

  8. Under Main on a chart window the default action for 'Clear' seems to be 'All'. Can the default be changed to 'Clear Current Day'? Hitting this button by accident and clearing all data seems a bit extreme. Plus when adding or deleting daily buys or sells the "TOTAL" chart has to be cleared and I'd rather it just clear the current day by default.

  9. Today I made a short sale and noticed the commission wasn't subtracted from the gain correctly. I shorted at 27.62 and placed $14 in the commission column for the round trip commission cost. However when the last price was 27.62 it showed I had a $14 gain instead of a $14 loss. I was able to do a workaround by adding a minus sign in front of the commission.

  10. I just switched my quote source to Yahoo and all of the correct volumes showed up. I went back to TDA and the wrong volumes came back. So I guess it's an issue with the TDA servers sending out the wrong information.

  11. Okay I'm okay with how the accounts selection works, that really is a non-issue for me. But what is it going to take to get the shares held transferred from the portfolio cell over to the trade ticket cell? That's the one that has cost me $$ more than once.

  12. FYI...I just changed my default account in the setting and now when I open a trade ticket my first account is now listed in the dropdown box, whereas before my second account always was. So it seems it's the default account selected that always shows up in the dropdown box on the trade ticket.

  13. For all accounts only the "Use Portfolio Position" box is checked. The "Use Account Position" box is not checked for any account. I played with this yesterday and did check the "Use Account Position" box on all account while leaving the "Use Portfolio Position" boxes checked but it made no difference.

  14. Regardless of any row selected it is always the second account listed in the dropdown box on the trade ticket, which is also the default account I used to login to TDA for streaming quotes and news. In the above example it would be the account holding the 5,000 shares. But I have always had to select the correct account, all I'm looking for is for the trade ticket window to auto-fill the number of shares from the selected highlighted row, or even the row I right click to select "Trade XYZ".

  15. On my main portfolio window I have it separated into different accounts using the sub-total (- - -) feature. The problem I'm having is when I go to execute a trade (CTRL+T) of something I'm holding in more than one account. For example I might have 3,000 shares of XYZ in my first account, then below the sub-total line for that section I might have 5,000 shares of XYZ. The same symbol is listed on the 2 rows with the corresponding number of shares, price paid, commission, etc. information.

    Now if I highlight the second row with the 5,000 shares and hit CTRL+T the trade ticket window pops up with the 3,000 shares listed from the other row instead of the 5,000 shares from the row I have selected. Sometimes when I've had to execute a trade rather quickly this has caused my order to be rejected since the amount of shares doesn't match what I'm holding in the selected account.

    it is something on our todo list, but not imminent. 

    Why is it not imminent? We can't always be glued in front of our computer screens. :(
