Is there anyway to have Medved make a sound when an options order is filled(sell or buy)? I usually use thinkorswim for this but I am still waiting for the api transfer, so don't hear anything now.

When you have an option chart open, is there a way to change the current expiry or price easily? eg. if I have .SPY_240205C495 open and I just want to change it to 496. I know you can hit "." and you can type out the full string, but is there any other way to have it populate with recent strikes or what is currently open? Similar to how TOS has the drop down. It's a pain to change strike prices quickly.

Is there a way to ad thinkorswim studies (code) into medved charts?

Ahh ok that makes sense. So I can use tdamerica for the options live during the day but not historical. What happens at night? Originally I did try to load an option but nothing showed up the chart when I used td as the source. Do you happen to know if td or yahoo would be better for live data during market hours?

Thanks Mike, I had to make yahoo smart source priority "high". In terms of trading real time is the yahoo data real time and the fastest available source? Also have ally (which pretty sure is delayed in options) and webull. Is there any noticeable delay when submitted option buy/sell orders and getting filled etc on either ally or td when using Medved?

So I was able to load my td account and I can see my current options listed in the positions. If I right click on an option and pick the intraday option for one of the options, a chart windows pops up but it is blank and I see the options info and in front the "there is no data to chart" T I have set option data to smart and also tried yahoo and ally and same results

Thanks for the reply Mike, Do you guys have a video demonstrating this? I have my options set to backfill using "smart source". Just to elaborate, so in medved I can trade options on the trading chart using options pricing similar to tos? Meaning I can put and move the buy capsules around visually. Below is tos and VALE options pricing charted.

Does MedVed have the ability to trade options prices visually on a chart like thinkorswim?

I just loaded one of my saved templates. Now when I put one of the buy buttons down and scroll up or down, the LMT changes. It use to be that the scrolling would change the amount of shares and price would go up or down. Also is there a shortcut to open a new chart window?

Hi, 1. Is there a way to change the default tool that is selected when loading a new chart? When I load a new chart the line tool gets reselected from the hand tool which I had previously selected. 2. When I load a new chart it is never loaded at the current price action section. I have some padding on the right not sure if this is the reason or not. I would like to load the chart at the current price action. Currently my chart defaults are dynamic with padding. I would like to have right hand padding on all charts when the load so it isn't flushed with the edge of that chart box in the visual chart section. 3. Future MedVed suggestion. Is there anyway you guys could add a undo function using ctrl-z and redo ctrl-y that would cycle between loaded symbols. When cycling through symbols this would be time saving. Thanks! This is how my new loaded chart starts out.

Just downloaded the beta.

I was using charts.

Hi Jerry, so I had an issue today closing a short. I got into a short (80 shares), and then when the price went down I tried "buy" the amount of shares with a limit order, that failed. I then tried buy at market again 80 shares and that failed. I then hit "close" on the symbol and even reverse and that didn't work either. I had to go back into ally and hit buy 80 shares to close my short. Do you guys offer a video tutorial on how to correctly accomplish this? I get I have to buy back 80 shares but couldn't get it done with medved. Called up the bank and apparently this ticker was on the do not short list. Somehow when I placed my original sell order at my target, the capsule had more shares then I owned. So the sell limit order was for 100 instead of 80. So when the target got hit, I bought an additional 20 shares and I couldn't get out of it using the buy limit order. Even inside ally a buy to cover didn't work, had to use a "buy" market.

Thanks for the reply Jerry, so I have to drop a buy tablet on the chart? Buy normal or Buy Limit?

Hi, searching help in medved for "short" and "selling" couldn't find what I was looking for. I initiated a short on a ticker using the "sell" limit and price. Order was executed as stock crossed price. Aside from hitting "flatten" how can I close the short sale? I tried a setting a "sell" limit at my target and that didn't work.
