I opened up MT and get a whole lot of portfolio alert notifications - with the trigger time being many minutes (eg 10 minutes) previously. Is there a way to avoid this so that alerts will only be triggered from the present time onwards?

BarVolume doesn't return the volume. What am I doing wrong? Also, this is for a portfolio, not a chart. So what time period is used for the bar? Can I specify this?

It would be useful to see the recent volume (and to be able to sort by this). Is there a way to include a column with the volume for the last completed bar (eg 1 min)?

Could this be possible? Eg I would like to add a volume condition to various alerts as a lot of alerts are triggered when volume is low - and hence any significant move is unlikely.

If I set the both the chart and tradeticket windows to GTC+Ext and then click on a ticker in the portfolio, the chart tif stays the same but the tradeticket tif changes to DAY.

If I change the TIF on my chart it will remain the same even if I change the ticker. But if I change the TIF on the tradeticket then it will revert back to the default after I change the ticker. I would like the tradeticket to behave the same as the chart in this regard. I am using TDA.

Is this possible? The help mentions conditional orders with 2 or more legs but I think 3 legs is the max - so just a single bracket OTOCA, right?

Yes, that was it. The Account window was appearing on another monitor so I hadn't noticed it. Thanks

Yes, the hotkey can be executed on tradeticket. But why does the tradeticket window become deactivated? I press the buy button on the tradeticket window - and don't click anywhere else, so I would expect the tradeticket window to still be active. Something seems to be deactivating it.

Thanks - working ok now.

I bought using the trade ticket buy button. The order is filled and I can see the change in gain on the chart. If I then press my sell hotkey nothing happens. If I mouse click on the trade ticket window then the hotkey will work. It seems as if the window becomes deactivated after clicking the buy button. Is there a way around this?

Log file sent. The broker is TDA. The completed order was filled - I could see the capsule with the changing gain value. Thanks

I have a problem with the hotkey pasted below. I buy 50 shares using the trade ticket - bracket order. The completed order appears on the charts. Then I click on the tick chart and press the sell hotkey below. The quantity in the tick chart is 100 shares. I get a message saying that my position will be oversold/bought. No sell is made. I then press the same hotkey again and it sells 50 shares. What is going on here? Where is there an overbought/oversold message? And why does the hotkey work on the second click?

I can see why this is useful but I would like the option not to have the quantity box (eg in chart trading / trading ticket / etc) default to current position. Is it possible to set a default share size that will remain the same regardless of any existing quantities?

👍👍👍

If I hold down shift then the cross-hairs disappear completely. What would be nice would be to toggle easily between "Freestyle" and "Snap to Candles" modes.

The chart has crosshairs which snap to the close of a candle. This is a nice feature but it would also be nice to have the ability to quickly toggle so that the cross hairs are centered exactly at the mouse cursor.

Great - thanks.

P/L can be seen on chart with the capsule when chart trading. But can a P/L text box be an option regardless of how the trade was initiated, eg trade ticket / level 2 etc. Could be a text box on chart - or a stand alone text box. I know the P/L is available in Account but it's hard to see if there are many open tickers.

And now it's gone again...

Has anything changed? Yesterday I couldn't see the BRKT option on chart trading (TDA account with advanced options activated). Now I can....

Ok, I reread the instructions - it works ok now

This is with current day and 5 bar padding. But clearly there seem to be many more padded bars.

For the 1m chart: There is a large gap between the current candle and the Y-axis. If I slide the X-slider all the way to the right then no candles will be in view.

I have a tick chart and a 1m chart. The tick chart has the current candle positioned at the far right of the X axis - i.e. right next to the Y-axis. I would prefer there to be a space of about 5 or so candles between the current candle and the Y-axis. The 1m chart has a different problem: the current tick is too far from the Y-axis and if I move the X-axis slider all the way to the right then I can't see any candles at all. How can I adjust the candles to get them into view when the slider is all the way to the right?
