[Customize which balances are shown in Level II?]

right now - no. it is something being considered

[dxFeed data packages]

hmm, that I do not know. Start low and can add. 

[Yahoo not working]

force relogin (maybe a couple times if it fails)

[Schwab and TDA are going Nuclear]

Futures - please note that you could not trade futures via MT with TD Ameritrade in the first place. Initial implementation of Schwab API will not support futures either as it will be almost identical port of the TD Ameritrade API. Futures trading may be added in the future (no pun intended).  Quotes will work on day 1.

As for the rest, we are actively working with Schwab on ironing out various issues. We do have the core stuff working. Should definitely have stuff out before May 10.

[dxFeed data packages]

Because all 3 of the ones you mentioned have Level I that is approximately 1 update per second - not even close to tick by tick data like dxFeed.  Tradestation Level II however is fast updates.

[dxFeed data packages]

Fidelity doesn't have level 2, at least not in Mt, and Schwab level 2, once available, is really useless based on what I see so far. Tradestation however, has really good level 2.

Based on what you have, you really only need level one. You can get very good level 2 data from tradestation. And I'm sure it'll be cheaper than 119 per month. So you can get just the level one from dxfeed

[dxFeed data packages]

for Level I quotes, you need: Consolidated US Equities Level 1 (NBBO)

if you also need Level II, can get Nasdaq TotalView, EDGX or both

[Scan questions]

in Simple mode, can just have text.  If you switch to Advanced, then can set it to whatever you want including indicator values

[time and sales colors]

EEEEEKKKK

We do not have customizable color sets for Level II. Best I can do is give you the XML file for defining the colors and you can customize it yourself. If you want it, email us (support...)

[Tading with Schwab from the Medved program?]

initially will be stocks and options only.  They indicated that futures will be looked at via API later, but right now the priority is to get the same API up and running.

[Level 2 only randomly only shows first line]

IB's default limit is 3 unless you pay them for more "buckets" of data

[Level 2 only randomly only shows first line]

1 line happens if MT does not have Level II data for the symbol. In that case, it just shows the bid/ask from the Level I quote in the first line.

Do you have more than 3 Level II windows with IB as the source, or have Level II also showing in TWS? 

[multiple data at the same time]

Yes. you can use one source for Level I data (which is same as what charts use) and another for Level II. Not a problem.

[Right Click, Left Click, Market Orders]

on the TRADING tab, TRADE SETTINGS, set it to show order types. You can have a limit order selected or a market order. 

Also, I assume you want Auto-Submit? you can turn it on every session. If you want it remembered, there is a setting on SETTINGS/ TRADING / SECURITY to enable saving it 

[Show position value in portfolio window]

the columns you are seeing in the portfolio are for Manual Entry of positions. On the portfolio editor, you can enter the Price Paid and Quantity for each symbol, in which case those columns will be filled in.

You can also drag/drop the rows from ACCOUNT VIEW/POSITIONS to the portfolio and MT will copy the corresponding QTY/PAID data.  But it will not auto update.

If you wish to have the auto updating stuff,then you would need to view it via the Account View/Positions window - you can add real-time columns in there too

[Etrade login window opens and closes]

I checked - right now the separate security code is NOT supported. I would have to look to see if I can prompt for the code before processing the login. 

[Etrade login window opens and closes]

forget the login page window. on Dashboard, STATUS tab, is it showing faulted or green?

[Etrade login window opens and closes]

the browser thing is supposed to be internal. you should NOT be entering any login there.  Is your login failing? A window is only supposed to show if there is some actual 2FA requirement.

[How to hide decimals?]

SETTINGS / APPLICATION / GENERAL - Date & Numeric formats section.

[Sounds for Buy or Sells?]

Sure. Open the alert editor

On top left, click the ARROW on the ADD button and select FILL ALERTS.  Select what you want there - you can pick accounts, or select buy, sell, etc.. 

In the notification area select that you want to be notified by sound

NOTE: you will want to set the alert to auto clear after 10 sec or so. Otherwise, once triggered it will not trigger again unless you explicitly clear it.

[TradeStation vs Fidelity]

I would need to get the combination of those screenshots AND the log files to match, but basically MT tries to fill in those gaps best it can to make up for that little deficiency in Fidelity's systems - their POSITIONS updates are horrible.  And yes, sometimes the transactions/orders show, but because of the delayed nature of their updates I am hesitant to base stuff on that - as you said there can be situations where you get out of the position before they end up updating it and I can't assume what stage the updates are at. 

[Schwab API update]

won't know that stuff until I get done implementing everything

Any idea when the Schwab API will be done. My last TDA account transitions on May 10. That is what I am currently using as a data source.

it will be done before then. Everyone's transition date is May 10 - that is when all remaining TD Ameritrade accounts are moved.

[Schwab API update]

yep. Its all good. we got the API. working on it. 

[Schwab API]

it always has been. Just a matter of when we can release.

[Schwab API]

that is the date all remaining TD Ameritrade accounts are moving
