  1. I am confused - whats the difference between before and after? you mean if you just start MT - Canadian only. Restart news sources - and it starts getting US? If so, I need to get the log file and settings to see what the problem is. 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.
  2. Just emailed you the beta. The version up there right now will still work with XP, but that is the last one that will. If you get that, it will continue to work for about a month or two, then it will too stop working. Time to update to a newer version TDA - if you "upgraded" your account, it won't work with any API app. not sure if your issue is that or not. Refer to my reply in an earlier post in this thread: http://forums.medvedtrader.com/index.php?/topic/111-request-for-beta/page-28
  3. the color is user selectable. It is whatever you selected in the alert definition for the alerting color (even if the option to actually highlight the rows is off) As for full row, will look at adding that checkbox.
  4. Don't know about QT - I can only say that it works for my account. If the exact same login works on the TD Ameritrade web site directly, you can easily check this situation - go to this URL: https://www.medvedtrader.com/trader/test/tdalogin.html it directs the login to TD Ameritrade API servers that is used by MT and QT. Logging in there is exactly the same as logging into TD Ameritrade via the program. If successful, it should show you some XML including your account number, login time, etc. If not, it will show brief XML saying Please try logging in with the same login you use in MT and tell me what you get. The following is what you would see in the browser window if login succeeded. If not, it would show something like: <amtd> <result>FAIL</result> <error>Unable to authorize access.</error> </amtd> Which means that your login cannot access API servers. Let me know what you get from that test.
  5. I added something in Portfolio for Delete symbols. NOTE: it does NOT do it if you "Cut" the symbols, or remove them via portfolio editor.
  6. I need to get the log file to see what the problem is. 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.
  7. I just emailed you. As for TD Ameritrade account not working - the problem is that your TD Ameritrade account has been “Upgraded”, which ironically disables access to the API which all 3rd party applications use to communicate with TD Ameritrade servers. This can be as simple as enabling futures or advanced options or some other “Upgrade”. Another user said that the Ameritrade support guys didn’t know anything, but they “Downgraded” the account and that resolved the issue. Assuming you don’t need the “upgrade” on your account, you can call them and tell them to reverse or downgrade whatever is needed so the API will work. NOTE: Logging into Think Or Swim Software (TOS) WILL UPGRADE YOUR ACCOUNT, thus breaking access to the API, so Medved Trader will no longer be able to login. So don’t do it. If you still have a problem in MT and the exact same login works on the TD Ameritrade web site directly, you can easily check this situation - go to this URL: https://www.medvedtrader.com/trader/test/tdalogin.html it directs the login to TD Ameritrade API servers that MT uses. Logging in there is exactly the same as logging into TD Ameritrade via MT.

  8. I updated the GLOBEX timeframe. Once updated, if you want to see the data before this weekend without the missing 15 min from 17:00 to 17:15, just set the chart to show extended hours "always". If there are other timeframes that need updating due to this change, let me know.. MT will update itself and the change will take affect next time you restart. You can do FILE / HELP / CHECK UPDATES, update everything, then restart yourself to get the update faster.
  9. MT automatically removes orphan Portfolio, Trade Fill and Trendline alerts when it saves the alerts internally. Don't want to delete stuff when removed from portfolio because that is not a definitive situation. There can be other portfolios with the symbol, or just charts open, or positions in a trading account. Or a user can just be removing stuff to add back in later while managing the portfolios. May add an explicit option to remove individual symbol orphan alerts
  10. you can open multiple portfolio windows at the same time. if you don't need to see it, you can just minimize the 2nd portfolio. (as far as CPU usage, minimized portfolio takes almost nothing because the screen data does not need to be updated)
  11. portfolio tabs are not something we can do at this time. Not a small project and significant change to the UI. As for the update notification not coming up, send me the log file please
  12. don't have a way to do that. Even so, the new version will keep less data. Previously, it was keeping 120
  13. Yes, MT will clear out all data beyond the specified max. Wouldn't 90 days (more than 4 months) be more for Historical Charts? You could change the # and then backfill with IQFeed.
