HK - no need to explain. We know . Will release the version that shows the stuff while moving and see how that goes. then see about the rest. ELD - Sorry, don't know the acronyms for other programs - that custom indicators, etc for Tradestation? If so, at some point that may be available in MT. Almost all the indicators you see today are dynamically compiled specifically with that in mind.

Minimized - checked. Really do not want to restore Minimized location. That would open up a big can of worms.

John, Backfill for the symbols you mentioned - the issue would be data specific. Can you please go to FILE/ Export Settings menu. Leave all the "Settings" checked. Un-Check "Layouts and Templates" and check the "Quote Data" Export Then send me the exported file. Minimizing location - will look. However, please note that MT has a few options for window management that QT did not. You can see the list of windows on the Dashboard and bring any one of them up by double clicking on it. Or multiple by highlighting, then right clicking and selecting the Bring To Front option. It also has an option to have all charts have their own task bar icon. If you do that, Windows will basically manage the icons. If you have the task bar set to consolidate, you would be able to just click on one icon and get a list of windows with full names. Or if you don't have it set to consolidate, you can make the task bar show a couple lines and have all the icons there visible at the same time There is nothing we can do about the text visible on minimized icons other than what has already been done.

the beta is by request. We don't have a download now button yet. I emailed you

we are not charging now, so go for it. As for later once we release, yes, we will definitely have something,though have not worked out all the details. There will not be any ads.

@Llan, I emailed you. MT will work with AT for now, ET later. As for Fido, since you have $$ there, if you can find someone to even talk to, I would be glad to contact them.

I emailed you. However, note that the beta does not currently have alerts.

not crazy about adding stuff that always shows - that gets into the "too many options" situation. I know others throw everything and the kitchen sink into the charts but its a PIA to use. What we are thinking is to do this: 1) When annotation is being drawn / moved, show the FREESTYLE Trace Cross-hairs (not the values box)... That gets you the date/time and Price at the mouse 2) add Change values to the values shown for the cross-hair on the X and Y axis This way while you are drawing the trendline, you can see the change values. If you need to see or measure, just draw or move the line.

there is no option

@hwkaiser, the saving of indicators is a good idea, but not something we can deal with for the initial release. Would have to make some design changes and right now don't have the time available for that. Will save that for subsequent versions.

the whole point of the Watchlist is that it doesn't have the detailed info about symbols but can be entered easily via simple text string. I cannot have symbol details if stuff is stored/entered like that. NOTE column - the column selection right now does not know what type of portfolio is being viewed, so the columns you select are there regardless of portfolio type. No. you can hit INS on the portfolio and enter many symbols at once. (INS or the ADD SYMBOLS button) No idea what you are referring to here. Where exactly does a new "portfolio" let you add multiple symbols that an existing one does not?

Regarding the error - note that you can right click on the Detail text and copy. Easier and more complete than sending a picture. I checked the log - the issue was the stuff you pasted, got accepted as one symbol, which was too long. Will add the length check. Thanks

I added a checkbox for solid bid/ask highlights on raw data. However, turning it on/off will still be in global settings

the watchlist does have an area showing the symbols and letting you edit them. But as far as fast symbol entry, short of mind reading, I don't see how you can cut the time down beyond what it takes to type in the symbol and with our method, you have just one more keystroke. No macro is going to know what symbol you want, and you would still have to hit a key or move a mouse to initiate the macro, so I really don't see how you can get any faster.

the feature that you are asking - do you want the % change to show only while you are drawing, or there all the time? Basically as a line with displayed values? Horizontal line showing price - isn't that the Horizontal Line indicator now?

@saber1 - Relative Strength - I added a todo item for future versions. Can't make promises though

If I understand you correctly, you want to save groups of indicators, so you can then later apply one or more groups to the charts, where as templates overwrite everything. Right? As for colors, any saved indiators would not save colors. Those need to be auto assigned, so that they don't conflict with other indicators on the charts. You can hide indicators without removing them either by right click option on the indicator legend, of if you go to Select Indicator screen, you can select multiple indicators on the right side, then right click on the selection and pick HIDE

that won't do anything. You can not backfill at all and you would still get the zero LAST rows. only way to work around is to stop quotes. Clear, then start quotes. But anyway, I already fixed the issue. will be in next update.

Both the portfolio name and list of symbols in that picture are editable. Click on them

there is no zoom back for CTRL+Highlight

y, the issue is not backfill actually. It is has to do with the first few quotes after you clear the data. IB doesn't send a full quote. It sends pieces of data as they change. So when you clear the data, MT doesn't have any LAST until something changes. For now I made it not record zero last, but that may cause other problems. will look how to handle that more elegantly. Jerry

there are 4 zoom options Ribbon Buttons + and - keys holding down the CTRL Key and then using the mouse wheel holding down the CTRL Key and then highlighting the area that you want to zoom in on on the chart. When you let go of the mouse button, it zooms The + and - keys should work even on laptop keyboards, though you may need tho hold down the FN key or something similar to get to those keys. Or just use +/- on top, commonly to right of the zero

was able to recreate the overflow error using your files. Will fix

got your log. will look. As for the spike, next time it happens, please use the trace option (cross-hair) to move over the candle in question and tell me which of the values are messed up (Open, High, Low, Close) and what the corresponding value is on the Level I quote. From what I've seen, the LOW has been a problem.
