Yes. don't know when IB updates the OPEN value and whether or not they send it only on initial quote or for already streaming stuff. If you see this tomorrow, hit STOP, then START on the portfolio that has the symbol and see if that causes the OPEN to update. The changes for the decimals only impact the current price indication on the Y axis, and the indicator values. The labels on the grid lines are dynamically adjusted based on the size of the chart and the range of the data to be displayed. Otherwise, you would get into situations where there they would be drawn one on top of the other.

those should be unchanged

With the symbol change, some of the exchange defaulting got messed up. Will fix

y, thats the problem. for some reason, IB is returning Feb 20 as the expiration for the security. I need to check on this.

is this with IB? you cut off too much. What is the symbol shown in Positions?

the core symbol you have is correct. However, might need to add an exchange. Can you try @EURH15:DTB and let me know if that works. If not, please email support and I will give you some further instructions to help ID the issue.

if sending log via Yahoo, you would have to manually attach it. NOTE: I misread the initial request. If the issue is just the OPEN not updating on Hist chart as you expect, the issue is pretty straight forward. If MT is set to show real-time updates on historical charts, then the last candle is built from the OPEN, HIGH, LOW, and LAST values that you see on the quote for the symbol. What you see on intraday charts or raw data is irrelevant. MT doesn't compute the open. It takes whatever value is in the OPEN field for the quote. If the datafeed has not updated the official open or is including data from premarket, then MT cannot do anything about that. If you don't want that, you can turn off real-time updates, but then not all datafeeds include the current, unfinished day in the historical data.

that was addressed yesterday. will be in the next release. Yes, the volume is the issue. Made the indicator ignore that situation.

NOTE: the current version will probably only show one decimal digit, on the Y axis of the chart. Could that be the issue? If not, then please do the following: put the chart over the portfolio so both the chart and the quote is visible, take a screen shot. go to FILE / HELP / Email Log/Settings to support to send the settings to us. Add the screenshot to that email and send please. I can then check the settings and see whats up. Email MT support. As for change - you can go to SETTINGS / CHARTS / GENERAL and change the "Intraday Caption Style" to show different data. There are options there to show Change or Change %

are the intraday quotes updating for SPY? Do you have the Historical charts set to get real-time updates?

Starting with the 1.0.6069.2104 update (, we changed how Medved Trader submits data requests for futures symbols. This in turn caused the symbols that have to be entered into Medved Trader for some of these contracts. PREVIOUSLY - the Root Symbol used by MT was taken from the "localSymbol" or just SYMBOL column in TWS even if you entered a different underlying security to enter the symbol into TWS, so for example, in TWS you would enter DAX, Futures, Mar 15 and TWS would show "DAX Mar20'15 @DTB" in the Contract column and "FDAX MAR 15" in Symbol column in TWS. MT would use @FDAXH15 NEW WAY - Now you would enter @DAXH15 into MT, so the root symbol would be the same as what is shown in the CONTRACT column in TWS, and the same as what you enter into TWS to add the symbol there. Most of the symbols are unchanged. Symbols on the DAB exchange seems to be impacted the most. This change is needed because IB has quite a few different formats for the localSymbol and some cannot be parsed into separate root symbol, month, year components. Doing the change now will simplify the process and make the symbol entry into MT more consistent with the symbol entry into TWS. NOTE: One side effect for very few contracts is that with the new method, there are actually a couple different contracts trading for the given symbol, month, year, exchange combination. The only difference is the "Multiplier", and MT doesn't let you specify that in the symbol. We have a way to deal with that on a case by case basis, so if you encounter such a case, please contact Medved Trader support and we will address the issue ASAP. If you have a problem with a symbol, first try to enter it into TWS. then use the same root in MT. If you still cannot get it to work, contact us and provide the details of the symbol as you enter it into TWS, and what symbol worked in MT previously and we will help. If you don't remember the support email, you can select the Email support option in MT from FILE / HELP menu. Medved Trader support team

The data MT retrieves from Commsec for the Level I quotes does not include the bid/ask size.

if you just click on the button, it will synchronize everything but the symbol and window location. Window size, indicators, etc. If you click on the dropdown on the button, you can select to sync only some specific settings.

Lets say you have 2 intraday charts open for AAPL. One is 1 minute frequency and another for 15 min freq. If "Trendlines Unique per chart" IS NOT checked, then if you draw a line on one, it will also show up on the other. If "Trendlines Unique per chart" IS checked, then each chart will have it's own trendlines. Changing that setting will likely lose trendlines. As for losing them on other occasions, I would need more details. MT does make automatic backup when it starts, so you can try restoring.

when MT is running on the same computer as TWS, the IP address for "Current computer" is always 127.0.0.1 to find out the local IP address for the multi-computer situation, you can open a command prompt (Hit the Windows+R keys and type in CMD and hit ENTER in the command prompt window, type: IPCONFIG (and hit enter) it will show you one or more network adapters and info about them. If multiple network adapters are listed, the most likely one is "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection" or one for "Wireless" connection. Each would have a line for "IPv4 Address" or something similar. That would be the address. Most likely it would start with something like: 192.168.1.### or 192.168.0.### where ### is some number from 2 to 255. That string with 4 groups of numbers is the local IP address of the computer

Will change it to SMART for IB in future builds

Yes

Yes, you can. However, if you do, I suggest that you specify the IP address of the machine running MT as a Safe IP Address in TWS. Otherwise, TWS will prompt you when MT connects and MT cannot close that prompt automatically because it is on a different machine. Also, you would need to specify the IP address of the machine running TWS in MT on SETTINGS / DATA SOURCES / CONFIGURE ACCOUNTS screen. Select Interactive Brokers, then enter the TWS IP Address. NOTE: in both cases you obviously need to use the the local network addresses. If the two machines are not on the same network, it would be more involved

@struckoil - sent

everything is automatically saved. You cannot share trendlines between historical and intraday charts Why separate - the internal data for the two is completely different. Also, we allow you to zoom in/out, etc without having to re-enter timeframes, in effect dynamically changing everything. That cannot span two completely different data sets. and there are significantly different restrictions for the two. Other platforms do not have the same level of flexibility, and therefore don't have the corresponding restrictions Jerry
