why would you always want to use Yahoo? Ameritrade - MT just gets the time of the trade, not the date. Also the quote time may be for something liek bid/ask change. not necessarily a trade. Its not Last Trade Time in MT. Its just Quote time

you left out a very key item - where are you getting quotes from in MT? NOTE: for some datafeeds, MT would use system time for quotes.

MT already had change %. If it is not in the column chooser, then you already have it displayed. Try scrolling to the right of the portfolio. We have attachments disabled. Not just a low post count issue.

the user settings are not stored int eh app location. in fact, MT supports multiple users, based both on Windows login AND based on application login. So if you log out of MT and login with a different account, that account will have its own settings. only thing they will share is the data.

I could label that first option "For Account Backup Only". Note that the screen does describe what is being selected including if sensitive info is included.

yes. All it does in that situation is saves the user files (already encrypted) as is. Since the encryption is account specific, it can only be restored using the same account as from which the files came from in the first place.

the version we just released has full implementation of Export/Import settings with a few options 1) for the currently logged in user only - this is used as backup. All user settings are exported with the user encryption intact. The files can only be imported and used in the same account as the original files and login would need to be entered (same as any access to the account). This is a complete backup, including all login information, since everything is stored encrypted. 2) for sharing - this option exports everything in the clear - no encryption. Convenient if you want to share your setup with another user, or want to move it to a different Application Login. All usernames and passwords are stripped out prior to the data being saved. This can be imported by anyone with access to the file. 3) for sharing, with password - same as #2, but a password is assigned to the file. NOTE: The export also lets you export Layouts, Column Layouts and Chart Templates. Keep in mind that all of those are stored in separate files and can be anywhere on the disk. MT just looks at the RECENT ones used, same as what you see in the FILE menu for Layouts for example, and gets the files from those recent locations. When restoring however, all files (by default) will be restored to the Documents / Medved Trader folder. You can change the destination, though it would impact all such user created files, not one by one. There is also an option to include the Data and Log file in the backup. Keep in mind that the Data in particular can be VERY large, so you might not want to include that in your usual backup procedure. This option is also handy if you want to send info to MT Support, since you can include the log file and all the settings in a way that is easy for us to just import into MT in order to see exactly how to recreate whatever issue you are reporting.

Also, you should use BHP:ASX instead of BHP.ASX That way MT knows that it is ASX exchange. with a period, it doesn't. For gaps, clear the data on the historical chart and backfill again. Does it come in OK?

I did find one issue with Yahoo HIst Backfill for AU stocks where the data would be shifted one day back. That doesn't however explain the future date. right click on one of the symbols that shows Dec 24 and select RAW DATA. Does the top row have Dec 24 date?

And, what time frame is set on the chart's View tab?

what are the exact symbols that you are entering into MT, including exchange Yahoo backfill - are you referring to intraday or historical? Yahoo doesn't do intraday more than a day snapshots - that is something we will implement when we do social. For now you can just hit ALT+PrintScreen to copy the image to the clipboard and then paste it wherever you want,

Port % on sub-totals will be in the next update.

yes, that stuff isn't implemented yet.

farsider, I have no problem giving you access, but note that neither of those sources are currently supported in MT. We plan to add Stockwatch soon. wiill email you

will fix

Oh man, you are going below the belt. For your information, that picture was from February 2012 !

MoneyAM - I can dig up my contacts with them, so don't think that will be a problem. iDealing - go for it. Mike's baby is double digits now . Mike got another one

I'll have to think about this a bit. I don't really see a logical connection between trace link group and linking drawing tools. However, I do see your point about having to constantly switch tools on each chart and don't want the tail wagging the dog. And if we have the settngs on the charts linked, then maybe they aren't in the right place in the first place?

if you used VOD:LON, BATS:LON and SSE:LON, MT would have properly defaulted the timezone, or even if you would have used VOD:L, BATS:L, SSE:L, it would have worked. But since you used yahoo native format, MT just treated the whole thing as a symbol and did not have an exchange specified, which is why it got defaulted to US Equities. As for iDealing.com - we would certainly welcome a cooperating UK broker.

Mike - Default timeframe applies to what is shown on the Dashboard status bar as well as any symbols or streamers that do not have a timeframe already selected. Right now all streamers have one selected. As for symbols, I don't remember of the top of my head. Are you using Yahoo? What symbols specifically? BTW, you can change the streamer timeframe by clicking on the clock on the status bar

you can just go to FILE menu and select the BACKUP option, then uncheck all but the LOG. Then send us the backup file that was created. (you can save it anywhere you want )

Please send the MTLOG.LOG file to support

I need a lot more detail than that to be able to do anything about it - what does "crashed" mean for starters? If there was an error message, what is it? can you send a log?
