  1. leave the alt quote source as none, and that would not impact login anyway. basically same thing just that you must have all 3 and you must enter the same userid/pass onto the webpage that pops up. sorry about that extra step but their login page is convoluted as heck.
  2. Ameritrade transactions update way faster than Fidelity when you place an order, Particularly noticeable if you have many transactions on the given day. Positions and balances on fidelity are also a bit delayed (at least a few seconds) compared to Ameritrade and Fidelity. Purely on technical, Ameritrade is better. But Fidelity Price Improvements are dramatically better, thus making it worth dealing with the disadvantages :). I do not know about Tradestation
  3. I have not used TradeStation for daytrading. Do use Fidelity and their price improvements are great. Definitely better than TD Ameritrade (my other go to). I would say Fidelity is the one to beat. Their systems are not as good as Ameritrade or some others, but the PIs definitely make up for it
  4. in MT the login for quotes is separate from login for trading. sounds like you have the quotes working. but not trading. So...... on SETTINGS / TRADING / ACCOUNTS, click ADD and select WEBULL PAPER TRADING (NOT the other one - that other one is for live accounts only). Now enter the email and password. when you click verify & Get accounts, you should get another login window with the Webull Login page. You will need to select EMAIL tab there and enter the same info again. Make sure to enter the SAME login info there that you entered in MT. Let me know if that works OK for you
  5. well, that would be 2 independent orders placed at the same time. What if it never executes the buy?
  6. use of POS and PosAbs would require for the hotkey to be hit after you are in a position. If you want it to be combined with the entry, you would have to do a OTA order so the logic would be different. The Quantity would be the same for both orders and you would just set the price to be the offset. But in that situation you would know if you are going short or long - would not have to code for it, no?
  7. 0.1% is not a valid thing. You can just multiply... so Ask*1.001 or Bid * 0.999
  8. lets say you want the stop order 5 cents above the ask or below the bid depending on direction. you can set it to be Pos < 0 ? Ask + 0.05 : Bid - 0.05 So if you are Short, position will be less than zero, so the stop will be Ask+0.05. if you are Long, position will be greater than zero, so the stop will be Bid-0.05.
  9. sure. the action field can be an expression. you can do stuff like Pos<0 ? "Buy" : "Sell" similar stuff for price - can add or subtract the offset from the bid or ask depending on POS being < or > 0.
  10. We do not manage the order. MT just sends it to the broker. So if the broker supports OTA orders with trailing stops, sure you can do that.
  11. y, kind of did. NOTE: our replay just replays the data you see in raw data window. Stuff is not saved separately and Level II is definitely not saved. The problem is making it User Friendly - right now we have stuff that can replay from one symbol to another, so I would commonly do stuff like replay from AAPL to TEST (a dummy symbol). But that is not practical for public release.
  12. yes but everything about the PB/scan stuff is setup around the charts and candles and iterating through that. What you are suggesting is not just a little feature update
  13. its just that what you are suggesting is so "putting a square peg in a round hole". The scans are definitely not intended to be used for that type of persistent data.
  14. we do not support the crypto symbols via IB at this time. you can get BTC futures quotes though
  15. we may add filtering in the future. The above stuff is for now. As for multiday high/low - that may be doable since we have current day high/low and Prev Day high/low, but as a general thing, most other data would not be available like that since that filtering must occur on data that we have for EVERY symbol.
  16. Hmm, that would definitely mess things up - both P&L and the indicators since that means you sold more than you had, thus the reverse position indicator. I will go back to the other screen shot and log you sent to see what's up
  17. no, do not have something like that.
  18. That is already the default functionality. If you are not seeing that, then make sure ORDER TYPES are shown and then select AUTO. Order Types is one of the available panels. VIEW tab of the toolbar.
  19. from what I can see, there is a Waitlist? When I tried to signup with my phone number, it indicated the account is already registered, so they are using the same system as US. Did you try it in MT with your login? As far as Canadian securities trading, quotes. I probably would not be able to check with my account. Plus there are a slew or regulations about trading Canadian stocks. You may have noticed a few notices etc when using Questrade. I will email you
  20. Hi, you are using the Alaric version. We may add the filtering there in the future. for now, let me suggest a way to handle that. Open the Sorter window. Do the filtering there. Once satisfied, there is a button there to create a portfolio. Do that and then filter the Hi/Lo Scroller window with that portfolio. NOTE: the portfolio in question does NOT need to be opened or getting quotes. It is purely used as a saved list of symbols
  21. have not had a chance to look. I assume they do not have free data or only for US?
  22. The MT term for what you are looking for is frequency. You can specify the custom frequency on the chart in decimals. So 0.10 would be 6 seconds
  23. if you mean where each bar is a fixed volume, yes volume charts are available chart type
