the change was about a year ago.

As you know this was eliminated when we changed how quotes are stored. It is not something we plan to bring back since it cannot be done efficiently

can you send it to me.. Go to FILE / HELP => Send Log/Settings to support menu (from Dashboard or Portfolio) And add this Post’s URL in the comment along with the name of the scan/Paintbar in question. Do not check any check-boxes. NOTE: you can change the current triggered color for the paintbar, but as far as alerts, it would not impact the ones that have already been triggered. Only new ones.

Fixed. emailed you

I need to get the log file to see what the problem is. Please do the following: Go to FILE / HELP => Send Log/Settings to support menu (from Dashboard or Portfolio) And add this Post’s URL in the comment. Do not check any check-boxes.

I believe that should already be fixed in the beta version. Can you please get that and confirm for me: https://medvedtrader.com/beta

Will check. Do you remember what you were entering at the time that error came up?

OK, but you didn't read what I said. You should NOT be in the alert editor AT ALL for Paintbar and scan alerts. You should be on the Portfolio SCANNER tab. click on the PARAMS button. click on the alert button. on there, on the NOTE Tab, specify what I said, without DESC

the [DESC] tag is the default alert description, so your result will start with whatever the description was there before. that may be what you are seeing. After that however, you will see the symbol, etc. For example, I ran a test that had a default triggered alert description show as: Alert "52wLow!" on DLHC Scan "*** New Paintbar" I changed it to be yours. now it shows as: Alert "52wLow!" on DLHC Scan "*** New Paintbar" DLHC @6.02 Scan if you don't want the default alert description, don't include [DESC] As for Global, None - not really sure what you are talking about. that would show on the Alert Editor if you selected to create a Global Alert but didn't yet specify the type (thus the "none"). That has nothing to do with scan alerts. You would turn on the scan alert on the portfolio's Scan tab. Click on the PARAMS button on lower left of that tab, then check the alert box.

when defining the alert on the scan tab parameters, that is where you can change it to anything you want. Click on the NOTE tab on the alert editor screen, select to REPLACE then enter whatever info you want in there. MT supports various placeholders. right click for options.

SETTINGS / APPLICATION/ Keyboard Shortcuts - there are a number of trading keyyboard shortuts available.

will get you an update tomorrow.

if I have to guess, it is something with the auto backfill. If you stop the scan, turn off auto backfill, and then try, it works? Please send me your log/settings. Go to FILE / HELP => Send Log/Settings to support menu (from Dashboard or Portfolio) And add this this Post’s URL in the comment. Do not check any check-boxes.

I will email you an updated version wehre you will be able to specify .ToString("#,###,##0.00")

Not at this time. When doing the scans, it is basically creating a chart internally for every symbol on the portfolio, so the settings for the scan have to be the same as a chart. To do multiple frequencies, would dramatically complicate things
