it sounds like some modal window was up. MT actually shows the modal dialog popups in the task bar so that would usually be a good place to check. Let me know if you can recreate the problem Password will be prompted if the login fails. Right now the login box doesn't show the error (on my todo list). Did you get it working?

good to know. will keep it in mind

Jackie, I emailed you. What datafeed are you using though?

the font size wasn't being reset initially when you re-opened the window. Fixed As for showing the font size, I really don't want to waste the space. It is mainly relevant only when you have issues with the size, and shouldn't really have those anymore. BTW, you don't have to go to the ribbon to change font size. CTRL+ and CTRL- can be used (same as in a browser)

that is not in the cards for the near future.

Most likely a different issue. Go to settings / application / general and change the price format back to #,##0.00##

done

nono, its fine. I am just setting expectations - some are quickly implemented. Others .. more down the road. As for the user interface, how did the CAD software do it?

In theory, sure. In practice, there are quite a few issues there that would need to be addressed, other than just the time to actually do it 1) How hard is it to make the windows move together like that? I have them snapping together when they get near each other, but don't know about the moving part 2) what would be the actual UI for locking/unlocking the windows? 3) Minimizing as a group would be somewhat problematic. MT handles it's own window management because each window is in it's own thread and therefore they cannot be handled by Windows standard stuff. I would say that a more likely approach may be just to do container windows, where you can create a container window and drag MT windows inside it. and then move the container window. Right now though the top priority is to get core functionality working

I have no idea what it is sorting on in QT when TIME is selected for NYSE symbol. That data is simply not returned from the datafeed.

you can't really compare to QT with TDA since QT didn't show time when TDA was the source. And the issue is not 3 letter symbols but rather NASDAQ vs Non-NASDAQ. MT shows the time but what is there depends on the symbol. TDA has different datafeeds for NASDAQ and others. For NASDAQ one time is returned on the individual entries. For Non-NASDAQ Data, MT just puts the time the data came in into that field.

Which datafeed?

it works, though doesn't get re-adjusted until new data comes in. you can see it by just adding the tie column

FYI - I am changing the two options that show change and volume so they will be: <SYMBOL> <CHANGE> (<PERIOD>/<FREQ>) <SYMBOL> <VOLUME> (<PERIOD>/<FREQ>) That way the symbol and the value will be visible if shown on task bar

FYI - the 1.0.1221.2312 build changed how intraday quotes are stored, so we had to make it delete data stored by previous versions. Most of you should have a backfill source available, so it shouldn't be too much or an issue. Also, when I updated last night, the file didn't actually get uploaded. I just uploaded again. Jerry

We will be adding those features in the future. No ETA

Long story about IB requiring Primary exchange to be specified for only these symbols (and one more obscure one). The issue will be handled automatically by MT starting with the next build.

Next build will have the option on the SETTINGS / Charts / General screen

the first release didn't survive first contact with the users . Just re-uploaded 1.0.1199.2138 which fixes the issue with the Chart auto subscribe feature

yes. the chart has its own subscription

BACKFILL - you can now select "Smart Source Selector" as the backfill source. MT will then automatically decide which backfill source to use based on current quote source, Open portfolios, Configured sites and lastly, backfill source that doesn't require a login. This is particularly useful for people using multiple sources of data at the same time. CHARTS - up to now, if you enter a symbol into a chart and wanted the chart to get updates, that symbol had to be in a portfolio receiving quotes. Now the chart will automatically start receiving Level I updates for the symbol using the same Smart Source Selector logic used in the Backfill feature above. So if you enter a symbol on a chart that is not in any portfolios, it should still work. Please let me know if you encounter any issues with either of these features

the difference in the amount of work between doing fully customizable and a bunch of lists is pretty significant. I would rather not devote more time to this than is really needed.

what if instead of fully customizable, I just give you a list of predefined formats to choose from? For example, Format1 (current) = <SYMBOL> <LAST> (<PERIOD>/<FREQ>) B:<BID> A:<ASK> Format 2 might be <SYMBOL> (<PERIOD>/<FREQ>) <CHANGE> etc

I haven't done it up to this point because the symmetrical nature of that screen makes it a real pain to deal with custom sized columns. So it hasn't been a high priority. You can control which columns are shown though.

Enhanced the Sync Open Charts options a bit. Added options to sync just indicators, Colors, Period, or Frequency
