Backfill data from most sources is 1 minute OHLC, so sub-minute bars are not possible. MT (and QT for that matter) store backfilled data as 4 points per minute - one for each Open, High, Low, and Close for the minute. IQFeed has tick backfill. some others soon too.

the new version does not address this. I got the file. Did not have a chance to look at it yet. will do

I got your log. Basically data got corrupted when you crashed in one of your previous sessions. After you got the error above, you restarted and MT cleaned up the issue so you should be good to go going forward.

do not see any email from you

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

are you getting quotes on the symbol in question? If not, the alert will not trigger

do you have MT set to "Annotations Unique per chart" on SETTINGS / CHARTS / GENERAL ? if they are unique, then each chart has its own drawings, even if two charts are for the same symbol. a "pinned" or linked chart is considered separate from a regular unpinned chart. When you initially pin a chart, MT copies the annotations from the unpinned chart settings to the new pinned one, so you should not lose the settings. Not sure where you would lose stuff. Could you go step by step exactly what you draw and click on to get the lines to disappear and then: go to FILE / Export Settings. Leave the checkboxes already checked, and also check LOG FILE. Export, then email me the exported file please.

on the portfolio window, click on the VIEW tab. There are Load and Save layout options. You can save a layout, then on each window, load it. Another option is to configure one portfolio the way you want it, then right click on the caption and select Set As Default, or if you want to reset all of them that may have already been opened and thus have their own settings, then select Set "As Default for all"

In MT select File/Import and select the QT POST. XML file Or if you just type QT for the file name and hit enter, MT should find it

And MT if you use IB as the source?

NBBO is not aggregated. It is just the best order. Not the total size of all the orders at the price. We don't make the rules

That was an interface to some server data that TD Ameritrade killed years ago, so there's no way we can implement it

Yahoo is delayed data - no bid/ask

we are just showing what is being returned. Not computing it, so nothing we can do. In general, the Level I bid/ask and bid/ask size are the NBBO, so it would definitely not match up to the total # of orders on the level II at any particular level, and as far as comparing to the top row in Level II, that depends on the selected sorting on L II

ok, so for your purposes, the only issue with what we have now is that you cannot dock it, leaving it visible when you minimize the rest?

FYI, as of the latest release, E*Trade US is now supported for streaming Level I data

the version we released today supports E*Trade streaming Level I quotes

And that is why BMO is not yet configured. Certainly can understand where most people would not do it. BMO is not likely to cooperate. If they did, it would be drastically easier. The account has to be one that logs in same as the regular accounts. Otherwise, it kind of defeats the purpose - we need the account so we can login and monitor what is sent, etc. so we can have MT send the same info (except the login info itself - that of course changes for every user ). If it is a live dummy account - regular account, but just not funded or minimal funds, we can certainly use that.

Was hoping not to do that one. Not exactly a high demand item. Are you looking for an actual scrolling ticker tape or just something that can show the quotes in that format?

that is because the quotetracker.com web site is back up

Yes, same issue as with QT. One thing you can do is open a separate account. Maybe fund it with $10 (they may say there is a higher minimum, but it should still work). And set THAT account to be "Green". You may even be able to link the other accounts to it and still have it work. Then, login via the new Green account.

I do not know what the requirements are for their stuff, so cannot tell for sure. If the account is "Green", some things can't be used, such as trading futures. I do not know about other details. however, if you change and then realize something doesn't work that you can't live without, you can change back.

You mean that you get: <amtd> <result>FAIL</result> <error>Unable to authorize access.</error> </amtd> If so, then you have an "Orange" account, so you don't have API access. Would need to call Ameritrade to get it changed to "Green" Account. Happens overnight, so you won't have access till the following day (not sure if you do it today if it will happen by Monday or Tuesday)

NOTE: We can unilaterally configure Market Data only. For trading, we will only configure sources where we have an explicit API for it available from the broker.

To configure a site such as BMO, we need login access to get the quotes. In the past, we either had our own accounts (TD Ameritrade, Fidelity, E*Trade), or one of the users provided us with the access (All the other broker/Subscription sites). We do not have an account for this site, so we would need to get access from one of our users to set it up. That is how RBC and some others were configured If you would like to help us that way, we can get it up and running within a few days. We would set MT up and email you a version to test and so that you can change the password. If you would like to have us setup BMO for you, please email support
