Jerry,
First of all, this new platform looks really nice. I like all of the added flexibility and the intuitive interface.....it's coming along really nicely!
I downloaded, installed, and banged on MedVed Trader quite a bit this weekend, so here are my initial findings. I'll email you my exported setting/log file shortly in case you need it:
1.) Data source - Initially set to "Smart" and I have accounts for both TD Ameritrade and IQFeed set up. I went back to change the number of days for IQFEED to 10, and changed both the Backfill source, and Historical Backfill source to IQFEED. I then cleared all of the Intraday and Historical data. At this point with only IQFeed selected, no chart data (Historical or intraday) will display, rather there is a message in the middle of each chart stating "There is no data to chart". I checked and re-checked my IQFeed ID and password numerous times, but this isn't the problem. (I also went back to QuoteTracker to make sure IQFeed is up and running, and it was.) The thing I noticed is that you can change the IQFeed ID/Password to something totally bogus, force re-login for it in the dashboard, and it will show a state of "streaming" and as status of "running". When I change the source back to TD Ameritrade, it works fine and the chart data displays.
2.) I created a 15-second chart (0.25 minutes) in OHLC format, but it is does not show the OHLC bar format, rather only a single dash. I tried numerous stock symbols and always get the same results. I also verified that the same works fine in QuoteTracker, so it's not a data issue.
3.) News is coming in fine from Yahoo and Google, but not TD Ameritrade. Also will you eventually be adding "TheFlyonthewall" as a news data source?.....it still works fine in QuoteTracker.
4.) The last bar of a historical chart in OHLC format is only showing the left arm (the open price) of the OHLC bar. At least that is what its showing this weekend for Friday's OHLC bar on any chart.
5.) When you have a chart minimized, save your current layout, close down MedVed Trader and then restart it, that chart opens back up to its "original" location....the layout doesn't open with that chart minimized.
6.) I had the news window hang several times and had to kill it with Task Manager since clicking the "X" in the upper right corner didn't work. It was acting like it was waiting for a response from something, but I couldn't just close the window when I didn't want to wait.
7.) I noticed that you have 8 available color links available for the Symbol Link Groups. With better broadband, faster PCs and more folks using multiple monitors, it might be nice to have considerably more than 8 available.
8.) For Level II, I'd like to be able to move the columns around but can't. I don't know if its not currently available, or if its because its the weekend and it is not currently displaying any Level II data. (I prefer to show the bid/ask price before the volume.)
I hope this helps a bit and look forward to enhancements when they're ready.
Thanks,
Tim
