  1. I'm thinking instead of a confirmation for closing, could do a LOCK. If set, then cannot close (or prompt to close?). Lock would be on the right side, just below the minimize, etc. buttons when ribbon is shown. Next to the Dashboard icon
  2. I moved the response to a separate tread. You excluded both the MT.EXE and the folders? If you still get a performance issue and the assertion failed (which is tied the performance issue), then 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. Jerry
  3. Backfill all portfolios - Open only would be acceptable, but then the option I suggested gives that ability really easy ( you can sort the sources display by type, so all portfolios are together) Keep in mind that if we make some option available, we have to take into account how many different people would use it, not just you. And I don't want to get notices from companies that our users are taking 10% or more of their bandwidth like we did with Yahoo back in early 2000's Portfolio window - on top, in the MAIN tab on the ribbon, has Backfill All and Hist Backfill all buttoins
  4. ok, just released new update. so you can just go to FILE / HELP / Check for updates
  5. Can you restart it right now, now that the market is over, and then 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.
  6. with the way MT does smart backfill, why do you even need it? MT will auto-backfill when you open a chart. It knows to only backfill current day if backfill is not current, or even nothing at all at times. So the backfill process is fast. Plus unlike QT, MT stores the data right away. As for servers, multiply # of symbols you are doing, by number of people running MT, who all would do backfill all at about the same time (yes, beginning of the day). It can get to be a problem. And some people have tons of large portfolios. They initiate it once, and not only put undue load on servers, it will cause MT datafile to grow huge and cause them problems, which causes US problems. So lets say its complicated What I am thinking is maybe add an option to backfill selected windows from the Dashboard WINDOWS view - where you highlight the windows you want to backfill (charts and/or portfolios) and right click and select backfill. and if more than X, it would prompt to confirm. You can highlight all (CTRL+A), right click, Backfill All. Would that work?
  7. Yes, MSE will cause a huge problem. Refer to this: http://forums.medvedtrader.com/index.php?/topic/281-note-problem-with-microsoft-security-essentials/ NOTE: Make sure to exclude both the process and the folders.
  8. MT does use a bit more. However, there are other things that can impact it. Are you using Microsoft Security Essentials?
  9. it works the same in MT - Backill all button is on the portfolio. We don't want to allow Backfill all for all portfolios because that abuses the servers and is not needed in most cases.
  10. we have a confirm for closing the app or if closing multiple windows from the dashboard. Doing so on each window is just getting in the way of the user and not the way we want to design things. Re-opening the window if you did close it accidentally is very easy. Confirmations are supposed to only be done before doing destructive action, or something that takes a long time or would be hard to reverse.
  11. Win 10 has IE and Edge. QT should still work. However, we are working on MBT quotes right now (trading will be later), so you will soon be able to use MT with MBT data source, including backfill.
  12. if you close the popup but do not explicitly turn off the alert, it will not trigger again. Unless of course you set the alerts to clear after a certain period of time. Also, you can set the alerts on portfolios vs global
  13. custom indicators - eventually. MT - you cannot just copy the folder. You would want to install it. But then you can export settings on one machine and import on another
  14. ah, that actually explains everything. Computer date/time being screwed up would cause lots of problems.
