Ps. Wrong emoji in previous post! 😊

No need for quotes when we have IQFeed. It's Lightspeed's incredibly fast fills that are desirable when day trading, and willing to pay more ... $2/trade with the group rate I'm on now. 😤

Lightspeed offers settlement margin on their Roth IRAs; have they provided you access to their "new" API yet? Just sayin', for you and your friends... :-)

When setting up a linked window in Trade Ideas, you can select from a list of "methods" to perform the linking. Two methods that tend to work well are the "auto type to a screen coordinate that is an input box" and "auto type to a screen coordinate on a window" (those are my names, but describe the action). The first one works the best if you have MT's raw data window expanded to show the input box. If not, the second works well to land on a chart. What you are experiencing is an issue in the coordinate translation of what you've clicked and where that text should end up on the linked end (MT). I too have had this issue and can work around it hackishly by clicking at the very edge of a chart so that Trade Ideas drops the auto typing on MT. Historically, I've had the best luck using the "thinkorswim" Trade Ideas type to get the linking to work decently with MT. With all of that said, what we should do is submit to Trade Ideas an integration that works with auto-typing to MT and properly handles coordinates with multiple screens/resolutions. I've had on my list for awhile to run a trace and see what hidden key strokes are taking place in existing integrations in order to write a description of what we would need. But of course a "small mountain" of other priorities sit in the way

Another order definition that would be super useful is "BUY/SELL n% of buying power".

Hey Mike! Really excited to see this feature around the corner! My experience with hot keys and buttons has been with Lightspeed; there are two components (1) saved orders and (2) mapping the saved orders to hot keys and/or buttons. Some examples I use: Sell Order (Half Position Size, 2 cents below the ASK) - Position sizes are 100%, 50%, 25%. Buy Order (Buy 1,000 shares 2 cents above the ASK) Sell Order (Sell position 2 cents below the BID, used to bailout of a position) Hot Keys CTRL+1,2,3,n to get into a position depending on the size I want CTRL+A -- Sell All CTRL+S -- Sell Half CTRL+D -- Sell Quarter CTRL+Z -- Sell All (Bailout) CTRL+X -- Sell Half (Bailout) CTRL+D -- Sell Quarter (Bailout) Same letters used with SHIFT+, but the orders will be to the short side. ALT+Q -- Cancels any open orders that match the symbol of the focused window. For example if I'm focused on a level 2 window with AMD displayed, hitting ALT+Q will cancel any open AMD orders.

Hello, As an active trader, I'd like to have the Trade Ticket that is linked to a Level 2 auto populate the "Limit Price" field. The price would be that of a price level (bid or ask) that is clicked. A nice to have would be the same for the "Quantity" field. Thank you!

I don't recommend IQFeed's Level II feed as it does not quote anything on NYSE or AMEX. The combination that I'm using currently is: IQFeed for Level 1: TD Ameritrade for Level 2: $Free.99 That said, it would be really nice if MT could partner with someone like Sterling Trading Tech for market data -- https://www.sterlingtradingtech.com/products-and-services/platform-features/market-data/.

Would it be possible to add the "Shortable" field to the Trade Ticket or Level II Window (if provided by select source or broker)? When I pull up a ticker, I'd like a quick visual on whether or not it is shortable.

I'd like to have the Single Regression Channel indicator drawn for a dynamic period of time instead of a set number of last bars. Would it be possible to add these parameters? Current Day: The Single Regression Channel is plotted using all displayed candle data in the current day, market hours only Extended Hours: The Single Regression Channel is plotted using all displayed candle data in the current day, including pre-market and after hours Full Range: The Single Regression Channel is plotted using all displayed candle data (chart period) Thank you!

Working beautifully in the beta, love the new options for fill indicator as well! 😄

I just used the software 😁. For longs, the arrows start pointed in the correct direction. However, if the closing order is a LIMIT, then the arrows paint reversed, whereas they paint correctly if the closing order is a MARKET. For shorts, the arrows are always reversed. Making the indicator a dot/circle could possibly eliminate complex logic, then it's just a matter of color coding, which is always correct in my testing. Also... [FEATURE]: Place the filled order indicator horizontally centered on the candle

Would it be possible to implement the following? [BUG]: Buy order arrow should go UP; Sell order arrow should go DOWN [FEATURE]: Option to use Dot instead of Arrow? Also, curious if anyone in the community has created a color theme that allows the order arrows to stand out? I'm thinking moving the candles to more of a pastel and then keeping the order arrows/dots bright. Thank you!

Another way to do this would be to have the Historical Chart link to multiple other charts. Depending which is selected in focus, the historical chart would show that ticker. This way one can have say a historical chart on each monitor, which loads the ticker of the focused chart based on which link colors are associated. :-)

Bumping to see if this could be easily added? The idea would be to save space on the layout by having only a single window that switches to whatever linked window is in focus. For me personally, I'd have a 1 Min & 5 Min charts say linked together with Blue pin for StockA, then the same for StockB with Green pin. I would use a single Historical Chart that is linked to all/wildcard color/in-focus so that when I focus on StockA 1 Min or 5 Min, the historical chart flips to StockA. When I focus on StockB 1 Min or 5 Min, the historical chart flips to StockB. Other windows with this capability could be Level 2, Time & Sales, and Trade Ticket.

So wonderful, thank you!!

Filter - Not Open | Correct, anything not open. In my layout, I have an Account View/Transaction window that shows only my open orders and one that shows everything else (Filling, Partial Fill, Filled, Canceled, Expired, Rejected, etc.) Auto Scroll to Bottom | This will be used for the Account View/Transaction window that shows everything else. The default sorting puts new entries on the bottom, but the window doesn't scroll to show the last entry automatically. I need to be able to see what's going on without extra keying. With that said, if I show the Order Date column and sort by descending, I can see the latest activity at the top which while I prefer the bottom I can live with that. However, I don't want to show the Order Date column to avoid horizontal scrollbar and to save space on my layout. When I remove it, the sorting reverts to default, which is newest entries on bottom, but the window doesn't scroll to the bottom automatically. Level II - Thanks for considering, indeed I do recall the "Success/Failed" status popping up there. Can I assume these are in the next beta? Raw Data -> View -> Highlight when Last is greater or less than Bid/Ask Level II -> Trading -> Trade Ticket at bottom of Level II window

The beta is looking fantastic for the upcoming release. Wondering if you could add the following features to better accommodate the active trader? Account View -> Transactions -> Filter -> "Not Open" Account View -> Transactions -> View -> Auto scroll to bottom Raw Data -> View -> Highlight when Last is greater or less than Bid/Ask Level II -> Trading -> Trade Ticket at bottom of Level II window Level II -> Trading -> Flip Buy/Sell Buttons (Buy button is on the Ask side, Sell button is on the Bid side, Cancel button is centered) Thank you for the consideration!
