what do you mean by hidden?

MT remembers settings, so just closing and opening chart wont do it. You added space on the X axis. Remove it: Click and hold the left mouse button on the X Axis and move to the left.

max # of backfill days is max 20 for Yahoo. The max is datafeed specific. The max for total # of days on the chart is on SETTINGS / CHARTS / GENERAL screen.

1) The reason you have to manually hit it is because that forces full backfill. Auto backfill only backfill from the last point MT knows a backfill occurred. (expectation being that the backfill source # of days doesn't really change often). You can clear all data and then backfill all. 2) Yes, it should automatically update either from the quotes you are getting or with auto backfill. 3) Lets say you backfill today, then 10 market days from now - MT will now have 30 days. Also, there are sources that can backfill a lot more than 20 days. IQFeed, TD Ameritrade, Stockwatch and others

wait a sec, I am confused - on historical chart if you select to draw a Alert trendline - It already draws horizontally right from the moment you click

drawing horizontal trendlines is actually very easy - hold down the SHIFT key while drawing. Will look into it though.

ok, recreated the situation and fixed. Do the update steps again please. Then go to settings and change the backfill days for Yahoo to 20 (it will show 10). then try again

checked here and everything seems OK. On the portfolio, note that drag/drop within the portfolio (within the same section also if you have sections defined) is turned off if the portfolio is sorted. Portfolio editor however should always work. What exactly happens when you try? Please do the following: go to FILE / Export Settings. Leave the checkboxes already checked, and also check LOG FILE. Export, then email me the exported file please.

Will look to see if it is doable.

got your files. Fixed the problem and emailed you. Thanks for the heads up about the issue.

Could you email me a template and a layout that does not load please

Make sure the API settings are enabled in TWS

well, yes, click on the oldest row, hold down CTRL+SHIFT, and hit HOME. That highlights all the rows you want., then just right click on them and copy, or hit CTRL+C. Anything beyond that will either involve a macro in Excel or a plugin and will have to wait till we have an API.

copy in raw data, paste in excel

you know you can just copy paste direct from raw data into excel? The copy is in tab separated format so it can easily be pasted.

emailed you

I can't say I am crazy about the idea of doing it in MT. There are enough problems with the embedded browser causing lockups. Don't want to expand the functionality. Once we add an API, anyone would be able to add stuff that interacts with MT. One of the "Events" that would be available via the API is when an linked symbol changed.

there was once again an issue with the Yahoo configuration. I made further adjustment. Please do FILE / HELP / Check For Updates, then restart MT even if no updates were listed. Then try again. If you still have a problem, clear the data, then backfill and let me know the result

that was not a typo - the setting on data sources controls # of days MT will request for backfill. Setting on Charts / General will control total # of days MT will show and store.

it was just a minor update to the previous one.

if you click on the Backfill Button (vs just counting on it to be automatically backfilled), does it fill in? If not, check the Max of days on intraday charts on SETTINGS / CHARTS / GENERAL ...

Careful what you ask for ☺

if MT detects an interruption or lack of heartbeat messages, etc, it reconnects, and if that fails, it does do the notification. But if the connection is OK but the datafeed is not sending updates, it does not look like a problem to MT. Same as if you were watching really slow trading symbols.

ok, you have everything updated. Now for the selection - Setting screen is used for configuring accounts. It is NOT used for selecting. The only significance of which site is selected on that screen is which site is being configured at the moment. There is a tile on the dashboard that shows you the current default backfill source. clicking on it lets you change that.
