1. You are doing SymbolData.Volume. NOTE: this is the current, at the moment, volume for the day. NOT the volume at the time the candle is processed in the paintbar. For scans, that is usually not relevant since they are always run on the last candle, but in the paintbar it is important. 2. Another reason for discrepancies between paintbar and scan/paintbar could be if their setups are not same. When you run a scan, you specify what candle size you're running it on and the extended hours setting. Make sure they match with the chart on which the paintbar is.

Two notes: 1. This variable is calculated from chart's data. Which means that if you change showing extended hours, for example, the value will change to include/not include the premarket volume. 2. MT now has an option to ignore odd lot trades when constructing candles in charts. That will obviously affect this variable as well, since for some stocks odd lot trades constitute almost half of all volume.

It will be in next release. Variable will be CurrentCumulativeVolume - Current session's cumulative volume up to but not including current candle

Ok so if I understand you correctly, you want to have cumulative today's volume up to but not including the current candle?

Will be in next build.

Lemme take a look.

If it is a scan, you will always be looking at the last day, so you can just use SymbolData.Volume like below. Do you need something more sophisticated?

Will be in next beta.

Ok I am not sure what exactly you're doing. Is it a hotkey? Is it a conditional order?

I found a couple of flags in dxfeed i was not taking into account. Will filter those out.

I am sorry, yes, make it NOT include odd lots in candles on charts.

Did you check the "odd lots" setting in Settings/Charts/General/Miscellaneous? We find that the odd lots cause the big majority of spikes in feeds.

Ok now that beads are saved/restored ok - just a note that you have lots of charts and they are all set to 120 days. Switching is slow because it has to load all that data in. Do you really need 120 days? If you do 20, the switching of symbols will be quite a bit faster and the memory usage will go down.

Please send your settings to us - from Help / Send Settings option. Also - how do you change symbol - type it or changing the linked one?

Also - go to Settings / Trading / General - at bottom two Bead Settings - turn on the last one.

Huh. You may be using older ver of MT. Do you know what the link is to the latest exe? If not email support@medvedtrader.com and I will send it to you.

Beads - yes they go away when you switch symbols - that's how it should be since each stock has completely different prices. But if you switch back, the beads are remembered, right? Editor - hm something broke there will look.

Ok - for one thing it should be "Day_ext" not "Day_Ext" - capitalization matters for that one. Second - I fixed it so it works jerry will put it up.

hm ok i see. Checking

1. you see those red underlines for the StopPrice and LimitPrice on the second and third leg? They are there for a reason. Instead of bead(2) you should do offset(bead(2)-bead(1)) .. same for 3. 2. you set nTIF in variables but I don't see it used anywhere. You said you have some global var set - do you use it in this order?

Arg: it is not us IB requires all API connections to have their TWS or gateway running alongside.

can you export this particular hotkey/saved order and send it to me and tell me exactly what you were doing when this happened?

What if you stop/start the feed for that symbol without restarting MT?

Ok. Sorry about lateness of response but this we put in just recently - one cause for spikes is the "odd lot" trades. An "odd lot" is currently defined by exchanges as a trade below 100 shares. That's kind of a dated definition since for some stocks - like AMZN - 100 shares is 300K+, and a lot of trading (AFAIK, about 50%) for such stocks is odd lot trading. But odd lot trades often cause spikes, and the policy (and a lot of charting platforms follow it) is to ignore the odd lot trades when building candles. MT has never done that, but it was pointed out to us recently that it may be good to have an option to do it. So in latest few betas there is now an option to ignore odd lots when building candles. That option is in Settings/Charts/General/Miscellaneous. Try running with it on. The other automatic spike removal mechanism is in Settings/Charts/Spike Filtering. Try playing with those settings. The ( ? ) buttons when you click on them will explain what each setting does.

stock777 - we have changed some things for the expanded filter text box to work with the popup ribbon menu as well. Jerry will put it up.
