  2. User-defined Audible Sounds No Longer Working

    in Bug Reporting - Public

    Posted

    I just upgraded to bug fix version 1.1.9230.2 x64.

    User-defined sounds, which exist in a user-defined folder, no long play when alert-triggered from within PaintBars.  Nothing has been changed by me code-wise to warrant this

    However, default system tones, e.g. "Tone", continue to play properly, when triggered.Here are some sample settings:

    Here is a sample setting of a user-defined sound alert that no longer plays properly:

    Sorry for all the attachments.............can't remove them; only look at this first one please.

  3. Strange Mouse Behavior on DOM when moving Trailing Stop in Active Order

    in Bug Reporting - Public

    Posted

    OK, I think I created this new issue using Sim Trading as follows:

    StopLimit OTOCA Buy Order with Limit Price and T-Stop$ price executed.   The T-Stop$ price shows up in the Transactions tab of the Account View Window for that Transaction, so IB has sent it back to MT OK.

    Next, if I attempt to move the T-Stop$ price lower (not higher), I get a scenario where T-Stop$ subsequently moves up/down along with the market price movement.  Note that if I had moved T-Stop$ higher (not lower), this new issue does not occur.

    I'm assuming that behavior is the same on the Sell Side as well.

  4. Strange Mouse Behavior on DOM when moving Trailing Stop in Active Order

    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.

  8. User-defined Indicator / Way to display values in Chart

    in Support

    Posted

    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.

  10. User-defined Indicator / Way to display values in Chart

    in Support

    Posted

    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.

  12. Strange Mouse Behavior on DOM when moving Trailing Stop in Active Order

    in Bug Reporting - Public

    Posted · Edited by Doug Hayman

    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$.

  15. Bitcoin Symbol

    in Support

    Posted

    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.

  16. Undo symbol(s) delete

    in Feature Requests

    Posted

    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.

  20. Range Candles and Heiken-Ashi Combo Behavior

    in Support

    Posted

    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.

  22. Paintbar Synchronization Across Multiple Timeframes

    in Scan and Paintbar Help/Discussion

    Posted

    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.

  24. Trading (and other) customizable Hotkeys functionality suggestions needed

    in Support

    Posted

    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:
