How can I prevent lines/capsules associated with the trade fill symbols appearing on the chart? I only want the symbol.
-
I have both a 1m chart and a tick chart positioned side by side. On the 1m chart, I have order types and saved orders visible. I'd prefer not to display saved orders on the tick chart since it would occupy too much space (specifically, four rows in my setup). Nonetheless, it would be useful to have the option to display order types independently. The tick chart offers a more magnified view compared to the 1m chart, giving some advantages when it comes to using order types with mouse-based trade entries. Is it possible to separate the order types and saved orders, enabling each to be displayed through its own command?

Thanks - not quite sure how I overlooked that ...

The red circled area used to have a box for entry of share size - and this would be visible when the toolbar was minimized.
The toolbar is too big keep open all the time and having to open it every time to confirm and/or change the share size is going to be inconvenient.

1) QTY is entered on the TRADING tab on the chart's toolbar
2) on SETTINGS / TRADING / ACCOUNTS select the account in question. on the right side on the Quantity tab, you can set the min/max to be the same value and then MT will just always use that as the default
Yes, I saw the QTY in the trading tab. But opening the trading tab is inconvenient and it also takes up a lot of screen space. There used to be a box for inputting QTY that was visible when the top ribbon was minimized. Have you changed this function in a recent update? If so is there any convenient way to enter share quantity number and have that visible on the chart?
-
I reloaded a layout and have managed to recreate the set-up I had before. But with a couple of exceptions:
1) I used to be able to enter the share quantity in the top line at the top of the chart. I can't find a way to do this now.
2) I want the share quantity for chart trading to be a fixed number. At moment it is calculated based on a dollar amount.
How do I change these?

Hi,
I am trying to make a hotkey with an initial stop order to get in and then 2 profit taking orders. The problem is that I want each PT to have half the quantity of the initial stop order. The hotkey at the moment shows each PT with a full quantity, not half. What am I doing wrong?
Also, is there a way to modify this by adding a stop loss order (i.e. a bracket order with 2 profit targets)?
-
That's fine. The charts are easy to see - they will be very useful.
-
I see. That is nice. Just a few suggestions. Would be good to do have simple customization, eg just have a price line without any fill. And also allow a single MA indicator (can then see possible set-ups). And drag and drop functionality to drop a symbol from outside into the grid.
-
Yes, this is an issue. I have set my mouse click sensitivity to low. But often a simple click on the portfolio will bring up a new chart. I guess it's my mouse - probably time to get a new one.
-
I would like a way to more easily visually monitor a large number of charts. The small thumbnail charts in the Watchlist column are too small to be really useful. I can put intraday charts together but there is a lot of wasted space which limits the number that will fit on screen. What is needed is a single customizable grid allowing a few columns of around 10 rows allowing 20 or 30 line charts + moving average indicator (color). Each chart can be changed by dragging the symbol from a watchlist. For my purposes I really only want to see the price in relation to the 20ma so probably X,Y axis labelling/ticks are not even needed.
-
I have a grid of 3x4 small charts placed together. I noticed that each chart location has many charts (same size) of different symbols stacked on top of each other. This must have been caused by clicking symbols in the portfolio window or else by typing symbols by hand. The charts are not symbol linked. How can I stop this happening?
-
Yes, that would be fine. In fact I noticed that in the majority of cases I only see the time shown (so I guess I don't often have alerts for more than one day).
-
I have 12 small charts that I like to format the same. The quickest way I've found to do this is to apply a saved template to each chart individually. Is there a quicker way to do this?
-
Can you let us configure the date/time column in the alert log so that we can prevent the date from showing? At the moment it shows both the date and the time. I don't need the date - it takes up useful space that I would prefer to use for the alert description.
-
Yes, this would be useful. I previously used 4 watch lists but it wastes a lot of space so I have combined into a single list. Something to make the divisions stand out is needed.
Also be useful if we could label each division.
-
Would be nice to have this in MT.

Define "long-term uptrend (not necessarily monotonic)" algorithmically. Maybe "in the last 30 candles, at least in 20 of them the EMA went up"?
Same with "short-term downtrend" for candles? - "In the last 6 candles, at least 5 were up, and the last one was up"?
You will find that once you define these things for yourself, writing the scan becomes a lot simpler.Ok, this was easier than I thought..
-
Any help with constructing this scan would be appreciated. I want to detect a candle close that approaches to within a specified % of the 190-length ema (eg candle crossing below EMA+0.02*EMA). EMA should be in a general long-term uptrend (not necessarily monotonic). Candles should be in short-term downtrend.
-
My scan has a column with this:
SetScanResult(2, String.Format(new ScaleFormatter(), "{0:######K}",BarVolume[1]/1000));However, it's not sortable. How can I change it so that I can sort in order?

I was wrong about my Edge browser - in fact it is not working. I have added the MT exclusions to Kaspersky.
-
I've had a repeat of this problem just now. My Edge browser is working ok as far as I can tell.
I was using my phone as a hot spot. Switching over to my house wifi and restarting MT still gave the same error. Reinstalling a back-up has removed the error.
Is it possible that using a phone hot spot is causing this issue?
-
Reinstalling WebView2 didn't help. But importing one of the automatic saved backup files solved the problem.

I haven't been able to connect MT to TDA since yesterday. I get an invalid username or password error message. I could connect ok 2 days ago and I haven't changed any MT settings since then. The same username and password can be used to log onto TDA's android app - so it seems they are still valid. Is there anything in MT that might be causing this issue?

Do you mean the Trading Settings in the Settings section of the ribbon? There is an option there to Show Filled Orders. If I unclick this I believe that I won't see any marker for buys/sells. I need to see these - so I don't want to turn them off. What I don't need is the capsules and the lines. These pile on top of each other and end up totally obscuring the candles.
Everything was fine in my old layout - but my system crashed and the saved layout file I loaded obviously doesn't save all parameters as quite a lot has changed.
