I saw it once, then after restart, cannot recreate with my settings. Can you please do an export and email it to us ASAP. Thanks

If you restart MT right now, does it still have a problem after the restart?

looking into it

ATS is a large project in and of itself. Adds a lot of complexity and liability.

the next build should have better performance on charts, plus user control for chart performance settings

there is no explicit way to do that. You could I guess add a dummy symbol there. If you want to add section separators, MT uses --- as the separator.

Not familiar with Bracket Trader API and in general, way way too early to be able to tell you anything about it

Obviously our goal is not to make it as complicated as possible

We don't plan to do automated trading directly in MT at this time, though we do plan to have an API that can be used for it by those that wish to program their own stuff.

the FTSE100 contract using standard MT notation would be @ZZ15:ICEEU Clear circles will be added in the next build Paintbars and custom indicators - that will be added after production release. The current version though is basically production level. The website is what is missing . We will definitely go through a bunch of beta versions when we do add that functionality

future API will have hooks to alerts. But as far as running a program as one of the notifications, I can do that. Probably would be easiest to just save XML file with details and pass the file name to the program. Would that work?

just emailed you both

that is not something we plan to do - sometimes adding too many granular controls just makes things too complex for most people

don't know about Firefox. We certainly don't do anything special for it. when minimized, the charts do not update, so they don't use CPU. Same with portfolios. So if you have some portfolios updating simply so you can get alerts, I would minimize those. We do have internal throttling of chart and inline chart updating. Will add some user control for that in upcoming versions As for memory - which setting exactly are you looking at? If regular Windows Task Manager on Windows 7, are you looking at Working Set (Memory) Memory (Private Working Set) something else? A lot of those values are not quite what they seem.

well, that is actually why we call it "Raw Data" vs T&S. If for example you use a snapshot datafeed and get refresh every 10 seconds and get 100,000 shares showing for SPY, that certainly shouldn't be considered a trade size of 100,000. And that is exactly what would happen if we looked at the volume delta as shown in raw data. The trade size alert is supposed to be used with tick data.

The Trade Size alert works off the data that is shown in Last Vol (Last Volume = Last trade size). Keep in mind that if the datafeed is not tick-by-tick, you will NOT be getting every tick, and the sizes in RAW DATA will not necessarily correspond to Time & Sales. You are using TD Ameritrade and do not have it set to get streaming tick data. Therefore, the data MT receives is consolidated. TDA sends 2 or 3 updates per second. Very likely that some rows in raw data represent multiple trades (raw data is showing you the change in volume between the given quote and the previous one). The LAST VOL will also skip updates. So you are; 1) not seeing every trade, and thus cannot get an alert on every one 2) you are seeing rows in raw data that represent multiple trades and therefore some of them wouldn't have triggered the size alert in the first place. If you are using the trade size alert, you will want to turn on the tick by tick streaming options. SETTINGS / DATA SOURCES / CONFIGURE ACCOUNTS screen. Click on TD Ameritrade, then check the "Stream Tick Quotes" check box.

was there already a triggered alert at the time the new trade came in? Send me your settings.

Different datafeed

What alert specifically? what settings?

Looks like $ADD is the same as $ISSU but without us having to jump through hoops doing computations. TDA Does not backfill those. Never have.

Welcome back. Emailed you

if you right click on the diagonal line defining the fib retracement, the parameter window will have a checkbox for "Show Line %"
