go to FILE / Export Settings. Leave the checkboxes already checked, and also check LOG FILE. Export, then email me the exported file please.

if you can, include a picture too so I can see what you refer to.

the way to set chart defaults in general is to configure one chart the way you want the default to be set (window size, chart type, frequency, indicators, etc, then on the chart ribbon, TEMPLATES tab, there is button for setting default. if you click it, all new windows after that will use that chart's setting. only other thing is, if you click and drag on the Y axis, that will change the Y Axis from Dynamic mode to one of the other.

could you have saved the default with one of the other options specified? there is nothing in MT that changes it other than the default. If you have a way to recreate, send us the exported settings and indicate the exact steps please.

looking into it

Actually, if you are not at the top of the raw data, it is supposed to NOT scroll. However, there are some problems where it jumps a little while new data is coming in. I JUST fixed it - finally found a way to deal with the asyncronous drawing of the raw data yet still keeping things in sync. The new fix will be in next update

ok, this change is going to be reverted. Too many unintended consequences and not worth it. Positions screen shows accurate intraday gains without even having to manually sync stuff.

In MT, the positions were somewhat static so we had that linking. In MT, the positions display has real-time updates, so there is no need to link to other portfolios. Just open the Account View window. Click on Positions tab. You can add real-time columns there same as on a regular portfolio.

I don't know what you are seeing in QT, but it certainly is not TD Ameritrade news.

the screen you are looking at (SETTINGS) is showing you what capabilities are available for the datafeed, not what you should select. TD Ameritrade datafeed does not currently support News. Hasn't for years.

Rome was not built in a day

should be fixed in the just released beta

get the new beta. Changed stuff in there.

there is no entry price in the portfolio. If you want to view that, open the Account View window for the account in question and look at Positions. That does update in real-time as well and show the change based on the entry price

set it to 1 day. as for shorter time periods, will look basically it is supposed to be exactly the same as regular intraday charts set to "Line" type (not line Tick) with 1 min frequency and same period (5 min frequency on 2 day ones). Seems that there is a difference in some situations.

ok, let me check and get back to you in a bit.

It is the TDA internal designation for the "Upgraded" accounts. Original TDA accounts are considered "Green". Then, if the account is upgraded like for futures or some other stuff, it is considered "Orange". Well, up until recently, ORANGE accounts did not work in MT (or QT) at all. They now work in MT, but some functionality like the routing and special instructions does not work. If you do not need the features added for the "Upgraded" accounts such as futures trading/quotes, you can call TDA and ask them to switch your account to be "Green" account. The following day when you login, it should be OK.

Hmm, for some reason, I do not get that and some other headlines that you do - maybe account specific, don't know. Yes, will need log, BUT would need it with Logging set to 200. Could you stop IQFeed quotes, change log level to 200 on the dashboard. Then switch dashboard view to SOURCES. Click on TFOTW, then RIGHT-Click and select Force Re-Login. Wait 20 sec or so, then you can switch logging level back to 10 and re-start IQFeed and export the log and send it to me. Thanks Jerry

no, do not. You would want to just include that in the commissions

ok found the problem. The really weird thing is not that it didn't work for you, but that it DID work for me when I ran it.

Can you please send me the log again, WITH settings.

You know, it might be an issue of WHEN the datafeed updates the lastvol. if it is not in the same update record as the VOLUME, you might get bid/ask/last vol change but not the volume and the new check I put in for volume might be filtering it out. In which case, would need to remove that. or at least tweak it somehow.

depending on the alert, you may get more or less triggered alerts. Quotes are aggregated, so you may get less triggers on smaller sizes, but more on larger sizes since 10 x 100 might now show as 2x500

because if the setting was set, there would be different requests made, which show in the log
