Got it. Thanks. Figured it was something dumb on my end

Hmmn I went around the settings and set everything to TD Ameritrade as that I could find. I'll see how tomorrow morning goes and get back to you. Thanks Jerry

Hmmn.. I have the data streams for TD and Ally both enabled in the settings so I can toggle if needed. But when I have a portfolio open its always set to TD Ameritrade by default. Do you mean something like having multiple portfolios open with say one set to TD the other to Ally? If so then not that I am aware of. I do however have indexes like SPY, DIA, IWM, VIX etc on my index panel as well as included in the portfolio. Perhaps that's an issue?

So for the last week or so I've had this issue every morning where the data coming into MT is "jumpy". Meaning like this morning the SPY was jumping from 272.20 to 273.50 within seconds and then back to the correct price. This causes weird candles and screws up all my indicators. I thought it was just the TD Ameritrade stream being glitchy but it happens when I switch to Ally or Yahoo as well so it's gotta be something on my end. After about 10AM or so it levels out and brings in stable correct data and I can clear all and backfill and get everything right again. But that 1st half hour is obviously crucial. Any ideas why this might be happening? I believe I'm using the latest Beta but maybe a setting I toggled or something is screwing with it.

Any chance in the future you can add the Coppock Curve indicator? Or is there an indicator already built into the platform that is similar? A good amount of the Ebooks I've been reading on option spread strategies seem to be based on the Coppock Curve set to: Short ROC: 11 Long ROC: 14 WMA: 10

Is it possible or even feasible to utilize the historical scanner with Renko candles? Say with a parameter of 1% alert when Renko forms a green brick after a certain string of red bricks. I'd assume doing it by percentage and not price movement would be the logical way. I love Heiken but seems like Renko could get me in trend reversals sooner.

tastyworks | Support Team via pm.mtasv.net 8:39 AM (0 minutes ago) Hello Robert, From what I’ve heard from our developers, they are targeting to release it sometime in Q4. I’ve added your e-mail to the API mailing list so you can stay on top of all things related to the API, Best, Jason Looks like I'm going to have to wait a while.

Any chance you guys have any upcoming plans to support Tastyworks within the charting platform? Seems like they have the best pricing structure for options buying on a cash account since Robinhood doesn't support it ?. I'm a bit spoiled now that I figured out how to buy and sell positions on your platform and I don't want to switch brokers unless you plan on supporting them in the near future.

One last question.. I promise. If I wanted to take that code you posted above and mesh it together with these indicators from another paintbar is that possible? I tried it myself but I am getting {} imbalance errors. Or am I asking too much of one scan? // Var Name: "ADX_PlusDMI" contains ADX(8,10).PlusDMI // Var Name: "ADX_MinusDMI" contains ADX(8,10).MinusDMI // Var Name: "FULLST_Line" contains Full Stochastic(14,3,7).Line // Var Name: "FULLST_Signal" contains Full Stochastic(14,3,7).Signal // Var Name: "MACD_Main" contains MACD(12,26,9).Main // Var Name: "MACD_Signal" contains MACD(12,26,9).Signal public void MainCalculation() { if (ADX_PlusDMI.CrossesDown(ADX_MinusDMI, 0)) { SetColorAndShape(SysColor.MainIndicator3, PBShape.X); TriggerAlert("ADX DOWN"); SetScanResult("0 ADX"); } if (FULLST_Line.CrossesDown(FULLST_Signal, 0)) { SetColorAndShape(SysColor.MainIndicator6, PBShape.S); SetScanResult("1 -Stoch"); } if (MACD_Main.CrossesDown(MACD_Signal, 0)) { SetColorAndShape(0xFFFF0A0A, PBShape.M); SetScanResult("2 -MACD"); } if (ADX_PlusDMI.CrossesUp(ADX_MinusDMI, 0)) { SetColorAndShape(SysColor.MainIndicator2, PBShape.X); TriggerAlert("ADX UP"); SetScanResult("3 ADX"); } if (FULLST_Line.CrossesUp(FULLST_Signal, 0)) { SetColorAndShape(SysColor.MainIndicator11, PBShape.S); SetScanResult("4 Stoch"); } if (MACD_Main.CrossesUp(MACD_Signal, 0)) { SetColorAndShape(SysColor.MainIndicator2, PBShape.M); SetScanResult("5 MACD"); } } if (Close[5]<Open[5] && Close[4]<Open[4] && Close[3]<Open[3] && Close[2]<Open[2] && Close[1]<Open[1] && Close>Open) { SetScanResult("Green after 4 reds"); } else if (Close[5]>Open[5] && Close[4]>Open[4] && Close[3]>Open[3] && Close[2]>Open[2] && Close[1]>Open[1] && Close<Open) { SetScanResult("Red after 4 greens"); }

Awesome thanks! Now is it possible to combine this same logic both ways in the same paintbar for an intraday scan? So say I want to play it for daytrading calls and puts on 5 min charts with HA. I want it to also alert when 5 or more green candles happen in a row and then a red so I could play a put. I've tried combining them together in the simple editor and it seems like I'd need some sort of command to break in between. My only solution is to have two identical portfolios open running opposite scans. But that uses alot of computer resources. Can they be combined?

Sucks.. I was looking forward to trading options on Robinhood once you got it enabled but found out today they DO NOT allow you to trade options unless you have instant settlement enabled for your account. Which means you can't access them on a cash account so you're subject to the PDT rules unless you have the 25K. Seriously PO'd because once RH options got enabled on MT I was going to go straight cash account and options heavy. Back to Ally for options for now.

I see. No I don't want to mix HA with regular. I want to create a scan I can run EOD after close on a portfolio that has about 1500 symbols. What I a want to scan for is a stock that had at least 4-5 red HA candles in a row and today had a green. I know this can probably be done quite simply but I am having a hell of a time accomplishing it ? The screenshot attached shows what I am trying to accomplish. Please forgive my primitive Paint skills

Hello, Trying to create a scan on the historical daily charts using the Heiken Ashi candles. I know there is a checkbox on the scanner to make it utilize HA. But what I want to scan for is a long line of HA candles in a row and today there is a green. This would be a scan I'd run EOD. Because Heiken Ashi isn't a selectable variable in the basic scanner options I'm not sure how I would go about accomplishing this. If I have HA selected in the scan checkbox how could I get the scanner to pick up on a long succession of red HA candles and then a switch to green today? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Took me a few days to get this logged in and working but wow what a huge help. Nothing worse then having to grab my phone cancel a stop limit or submit a buy order. Takes way too long and is cumbersome. Right off the charts is so much easier. Just made my trading lightyears more pleasant guys. Thank you so much!

Not all heroes wear capes... LW... you sir are my hero. Have no idea why I never bothered to try actually clicking the on chart pace... I'll set them both to 9 and see if they sync up tomorrow.

Hey Mike, As you can see below the pace% displayed on the chart for XXII here is 46% but the indicator below which I have at defaults shows 101. The second pick is the paintbar scan I'm trying to do. Basically I want to screen out anything that is not trading above the 50% pace that is displayed on the chart. I only want to be alerted for big volume coming in after an EMA crossover. How can I get the indicator on the bottom to match the one on the chart so I can use it effectively in the scanner?

I've been fiddling around with the parameters of the pace indicator and can't seem to get it to match up with the view able pace on the chart. And even when I get it close and set it as default for all my charts when I open a different chart for a different symbol the two numbers are way off. Would it be alot of hassle to add the options> view> pace as a select-able column for the portfolio screen?

Right so the pace that can be used with the scanner is the exact same one as the enabled indicator that shows up below the chart. But is the pace that can be enabled on the daily chart under view>options>pace shows a different number then the indicator. What parameters is the view>options>pace using? Because I can't get the enabled Pace indicator to match the Pace on the daily charts. Can the view>options>pace be used with the scanner? If not can it be easily added? If not the scanner can view>options>pace be added as a column on the portfolio screen? I find that view>options>pace to be quite helpful when used in combination with an EMA and Macd crossover to catch momentum swings. The Pace lets me know there is a ton of volume coming into that stock. I"m screening hundreds of stocks at a time so adding Pace to it would help me lower the amount of false alerts I get. Thanks

So doing more digging I see pace is also an indicator that can be activated on the chart, and that is probably what the scanner is referncing when enabled. What I'm wondering is the pace display that can be enabled on the daily chart under view>options>pace. Can that pace be used with the scanner?

Hi Jerry, Two quick questions. In regards to using Pace (intraday) on the scanner I want it to match the Pace that is displayed on the intraday chart. But I can't see the parameters that it's using. Can you please provide them so I can set the scanner to match. Also in the scanner if set it to Pace crosses above 50 would that alert me to when the Pace went over 50% or would that 50 be indicating something different?

Would it be possible in the future to have the Weekly open, close, high, low columns to choose from in the column chooser? My trading is based more on a per week period so it'd be great to have them as an option.

Yep. My idiocy is confirmed. Thanks for the assist.

I must be an idiot but I cannot for the life of me find a way to see Time and Sales in Medved. I get to the level 2 charts and can see all the current bid/asks but I need to see the live transactions. I know it's probably something dumb I am missing but any help would be appreciated. Having to open TD Ameritrade to see the time and sales is a pain... other then this I'm loving Medved
