  1. Thanks Jerry. Additionally, another related issue: I notice also that if I manually move the TStop$ price on the DOM a 2nd or 3rd time, the TStop$ value subsequently moves in BOTH directions as the market moves, as opposed to just moving in a favorable direction. Doesn't always happen, but I think it's related to multiple adjustments of the TStop$ value from its original trade-specified value. Happens on both Buy and Sell sides.
  2. Sorry to be a pest on this, but has this been looked at, at all? I continue to have this issue on the DOM.
  3. I think it's more than a poor-man's indicator, and see lots of value in this. In regard to doing an indicator editor, you'd need to weigh that against other items on your to-do list. May result in a lot of extra support too.
  4. Dang Mike! I had no idea that Paintbars could appear BELOW the main chart. I just dragged to below chart (from above chart), and the scaling now works great! This is great, as effectively user-defined indicators and oscillators can easily be developed using SetYValue. Thank you!
  5. Mike, understand the issue with decimals displaying and spacing on chart. Maybe I'm being dense here, but an intraday chart has to be associated with a symbol, which means that the chart price scaling is going to be relative to the chart symbol prices, right? Even in a separate chart, if I want to chart EMA deltas from candle-to-candle or maybe chart it as a 1-to-100 oscillator, those low values are not going to display properly in a chart via SetYValue that has chart symbol prices at high values (for example, @MESH21). I tried enabling chart option "Hide Primary Chart", which gets rid of the candles, but it still retains the price scaling for that symbol in the chart. Is there a way that I can have my SetYValues display in the scenario above in a different chart? Thanks again.
  6. Interesting Mike, but if I'm looking to display (actually plot) EMA delta values from one candle to the next in my Advanced PB-based chart, how can this display properly without a serious adjustment of chart scale?
  7. I'm assuming there is no way to create a user-defined indicator in MT. For example, I might want an indicator to graph the delta EMA value from one candle to the next. Alternatively, is there a function I can use in Paintbar logic that could display such a value maybe above a given candle at specified coordinate locations on my chart? Any other ideas on how I can get a graphic or numeric representation of a "user-defined" indicator like that? Thanks in advance.
  8. Jerry, Have you been able to create this issue on your end? Thanks, Doug
  9. Hi, StopLimit OTOCA BUY @MESZ20 order executes with Sell Limit Order profit and Sell Trailing Stop$ set properly on executed order, 5 point Limit Target; 3.5 point TrailingStop $. While trade is active, I find that when I try to move the Trailing Stop $ leg manually on the DOM with mouse upward to a given price (that is, to less than 3.5 points from the market price), it often snaps to the wrong price on initial try, but on secondary attempt, it moves to the desired price via the mouse. I don't get this behavior when I try to modify the Limit Target leg once the trade is active. I have the DOM set to the 2nd smallest Font Size in my setup. I have tried on the next largest font size, and still have this issue. Can you replicate this on your end? Thanks in advance. NOTE: Same behavior on a StopLimit OTOCA SELL, with Trailing Stop$.
  10. Excellent, thank you! I don't trade Bitcoin, but like to see its value as it correlates to my GBTC ETF in my 401K.
  11. OK, I didn't know that either. Yes, @BRRZ20 works fine. Any idea on how I could display IB's "BRTI" Index (CME CF Bitcoin Real-Time Index) ?
  12. I looked in your help file, and it said that Bitcoin USD symbol is "#BTC.USD". I'm using IB as my feed, and that's not working. Also, tried the IB BRTI Index as $BRTI and $BRTI.USD, and that didn't work either. Can you please shed some light on the correct symbols here? Thanks.
  13. For the 2nd time in a week, my focused symbol, which is tied to all my open MT windows, got deleted (or disappeared) from my active portfolio, but not sure how it happened. I didn't hit CTRL-X, right-mouse click Cut, or anything like that. It seems to have happened when I switched to another active program on my computer, by clicking on the Windows 10 task bar at the bottom of my screen, and then going back to MT, the symbol disappeared, and I was focused on another symbol in my active portfolio. I remedied the situation by going into Edit Portfolio, re-adding the affected symbol, and to my delight, none of the accumulated data associated with the symbol had been purged.
  14. Mike recently added the "MyPivots" Indicator on Intraday Charts (thanks again, Mike!). Is there any reason as to why they aren't available on Historical Charts? Thanks in advance.
  15. OK, I'll just have to get my head around that. Thanks.
  16. I like trading with Range Candles and found that introducing Heiken Ashi candles to the mix helps my trend trading with additional noise filtering. With HA active, and when using Range Bar Size=4 for MESZ20 contract, I noticed that some (not all) of the range candles exceed size 4. I was tipped off when I saw some of my Candle Countdowns displaying things like "-1.732 / 4.00r", as an example. I understand the Heiken Ashi formula for calculating traditional candles, but can you shed some light on HA Range Candle calculation please? In this combo environment, Range Candles no longer close out at the High/Low of the Range bar, so it is more difficult to trade with anticipated Buy or Sell Stops, for example. Is this a bug or intended functionality? Also, similar behavior for Kase/HA combo candles (although I never use these). Thanks in advance.
  17. OK, thanks for the sanity check. Yes, I use EMA indicator in that fashion, as the values are real close.
  18. I'm pretty sure that this is not doable even in Advanced Mode (C#), but asking in case I'm missing something: Is there a way for an Advanced Paintbar to access data from an alternate time frame? For example, I have a 5min Intraday chart for which I have Advanced Paintbar logic. I also have a 60min intraday chart open. Is there any way that I can access OHLC data from the 60min chart in the 5min chart paintbar? Thanks in advance.
  19. I missed the most important part of this thread; your google doc. I like the flexibility that this appears to offer. Yeah, the UI and the interpreter to check syntax correctness is going to be some work. Will this functionality be made available through Advanced Paintbars as well?
  20. I mentioned this in another thread referenced below, but a hot key to facilitate creating multiple Limit orders, to scale out of a multiple contract (or share) position would be nice. This would require some form of % or point setting definitions to be created and utilized: https://forums.medvedtrader.com/topic/3271-tutorials-for-conditional-orders-please/?tab=comments#comment-16619
  21. I noticed this while trading live versus reviewing a trade of mine via Advanced Paintbars: When trading live, the PB Horizontal Line Intraday Values for "Today's High" and "Today's Low" display chart-wise and indicate value-wise the correct values to date. However, I noticed that after reloading my symbol data, my Paintbar results (which sometimes are predicated on Today's High/Low values), indicated different results from my Live trade. Upon examination, my historical paintbar used the High/Low values of the entire day in its calculation, as opposed to the what the actual High/Low value was at the time of my trade. I tried enabling the "Reg. Session Values Only" flag in the Parameter setting for these 2 Variable declarations, but that didn't change anything.
  22. OK Mike, I WeTransfer'd file over - it's about 600GB. Thanks. It definitely gets wiped out on MT Export (when data is selected), and got wiped out on MT restart (but not all the time). Thanks.
  23. This morning, my expired contract, @MESM20, got wiped out again, on MT restart. So you're right, there is some cleanup stuff going on in MT startup, prob based on a date threshold. Uggh.
