  1. The "Symbols" filter is only on the "All News" window.
  2. 1.1.9500.100 (2022-01-27) ADDED - NEWS WINDOWS - Filtering
  3. Over the years broker-provided data has not met the bar for me personally. Consider inversting in dxFeed - https://www.medvedtrader.com/dxFeed for your data needs and use the brokers for trading only. It's been smooth sailing the last year and half for me using dxFeed + TD Ameritrade + TradeStation + Interactive Brokers all through MT of course 😄.
  4. They are an interesting organization with a lot of grumpy employees. My advice is to use them for intra-day trades only and get market data from dxFeed.
  5. From a data source perspective, dxFeed has been one of the best investments for me and a HUGE thanks to the MT Team for also investing in the integration!! For trade executions, I'm using TD Ameritrade, TradeStation, and Interactive Brokers. I hope the move to Schwab doesn't reduce the service level currently provided, which has been actually quite excellent.
  6. CTRL+= brings up the Indicators menu for me, so there may be something for Mike & Jerry to look at here. To that end, CTRL+0 also works to bring up the custom frequency, which I find is faster (Left hand CTRL, Right hand 0 on number pad).
  7. For good measure, initialize AboveHigh and BelowHigh to a known value (i.e., -1) in order to avoid situations where those variables reference 0 or 1 unexpectedly.
  8. Do you have a link to the YouTube video you were watching? Based on the description provided, the horizontal line could represent many different values both absolute (Last, Bid, Ask) or calculated (VWAP, EMA, SMA, etc.)
  9. When SIZE is greater than SECONDS, you have division by zero since C# is implying int as the type on that ratio. Division by zero will have unexpected results in general and looks like MT is showing that as infinity. Change all var to double and you'll be in good shape.
  10. You are correct, should be Stop Market in the OTA. Forgot to switch that in the screenshot, sorry about that! 😑
  11. Yes, that is generally possible but may depend on the broker you're using. For TD Ameritrade, you could do the below. 1. In the Trading Ribbon, set the Quantity and Time-In-Force (TIF). I'm using GTC so that the order stays open overnight and executes during regular trading hours. 2. Select STP (Stop Market) as the order type so the order does not trigger until the price reaches the level desired ($305). 3. To attach a stop loss to the order select the OTA conditional order type and set an offset to reach the desired stop level -8.00 ($297). 4. Click the Buy button and drop the trading capsule on the chart at the entry level, the stop loss will be placed at as well. 5. Click the Check Mark icon on the trading capsule to send the order to the broker. To recap, this is a Buy Market Stop order to trigger at $305 with a Stop Loss at $297; a Buy Market Stop is needed since the current price is below the desired entry price. NOTE: There is no profit exit in this example, be diligent 😄.
  12. One would think, but it doesn't appear that Unrealized P&L is calculated correctly in the condition of close and reopen a portion of the original position multiple times. For example, the "Paid" column correctly calculates the trade's break even price; however, when the price action reaches that price the Unrealized P&L will still be at a loss for some ticks beyond that price. I've tried to fool with the "P&L Calc. Method" setting under accounts, but still doesn't really do anything; I'm using "Average Cost Basis". Can you tell us how to configure MT so that the "Paid" and "Unrealized P&L" columns are in sync? Are these columns calculated by MT (or in my case TDA)? Perhaps something needs configured on the TDA side.
  13. @Mike Medved it's not always an "odd lot" that causes this situation. With a true tick feed like dxFeed, we're going to get late prints and inter-market sweep orders on the tape which will cause these undesirable spikes. Is dxFeed flagging these ticks in the data they are sending you so that we can have an option to hide such orders? Do they print with an alternative timestamp to consider? Example below, where an ISO or late print took place causing extra wicky ticks. Spike filtering is a challenge since the percentage would be 0.0067% and not a valid entry for MT.
  14. Seems fine to me, although I don't have any news flowing right now.
  15. 1. The up/down arrows do not function, could make them increment and decrement? 2. For the Clear After setting, could you make an option for "Candle Close"? Since an alert could trigger at any minute within in a 15 minute candle for example, a static value here does not work well if there are other automation working around the alerts.
