They changed their login process. Jerry is working on changing MT to reflect that. Will notify here when that's done.

C# is one of the languages that requires a variable's explicit declaration (unlike something like Lua) So, before the line public void MainCalculation() you need to add this line: DateTime LastTriggeredTimestamp = new DateTime(0); that would declare the variable and eliminate the error.

True range: Max of the three values: Candle High - Candle Low Absolute value of Candle High - Previous Candle Close Absolute value of Candle Low - Previous Candle Close Average it either by using SMA or EMA.

I will add a few pixels to the current position so that it is distinct from the top / bottom of the candle.

Don't get me started on big companies' management....

JerryS - those kinds of kinks have been worked out in modern programming environments, mostly. Nowadays, if you get a bug, there is a very remote possibility that it is not your, programmer's, fault but the OS' or driver's etc. fault, but that kind of thing is a zebra. You don't go looking for zebras Our problems are often in dealing with extremely multithreaded environment. If everything was running in one thread, oh what a wonderful bugfree world it would be. But the program would not be nearly as fast/responsive. Although the option chain bug does not seem to be related to threads. As Jerry explained, we cache chains, because getting them is expensive in terms of server access and speed. But the problem with cache of course is if you have bad data in cache. We do sanity checks of course but... As an aside, I started programming in ALGOL-68 on Minsk-22s - . See those white threads in the back? That's punched tape. Fun stuff.

The answer to your (2) - in QT, Settings/Charts, in the Miscellaneous section, "Allow to scroll charts".

Will change it to 10000. "Sanity check" is the right term, though.

Place indicator "Horizontal Line" on main chart. Pick value "High". Do again, but pick value "Low". Can optionally do "Show Only Last Day". There are a bunch of other options.

As always, comments/suggestions are welcome.

From your wikipedia link: "The Donchian channel is an indicator used in market trading developed by Richard Donchian. It is formed by taking the highest high and the lowest low of the last n periods. The area between the high and the low is the channel for the period chosen. " When someone says "last n periods" that *usually* includes the current one. Thus my confusion. The stockcharts link does show, on the charts, that it is not including current one. It also says (and I guess I missed that before) "The Price Channel formula does not include the most recent period." Thanks for the correction. I will change the code. Will be in next beta. (By the way, we do credit Donchian in the desciption (the little info button) of the indicator).

Probably Price Channels? The definition reads "It is formed by taking the highest high and the lowest low of the last n periods." Can you point me to a web page defining them as you describe?

Good to know, mdr. People ask us all the time if Medved Trader runs on Macs. Well yes it does - but it costs a bit. Parallels is $80. Win10 is $120 So it's $200. Cost with VMWare is same. But you get the capability of running all the Windows programs (not just MT). Historically, most stock market software concentrated on PCs. Probably because of PC market share. MT is written in C#, and is not easy to "port" to IOS. There are some methods, but they are incomplete. It would be a LOT of work to do it, not sure if it could be done fully, and what's the point when you can already run it on a Mac using the above software.

This will be fixed in next beta release. Thanks for the report.

... will fix

rocarr, you realize you can remove watermark from charts. The option is in Settings/Charts/Display, right on top.

Open a historical chart (not intraday). Put up a horizontal line indicator. Edit its parameters. The second param is "Value" - it's a combo box (selection). I believe the "Prev Period" ones are the ones you want.

Basically - in MT the Historical Charts' "Horizontal Line" can show monthly/weekly/yearly O/H/L/C. I could put an option there to "show next period" - which would show the previous month's close/low etc. in the next month... Would that do it?

Is this for hist chart or for intraday?

Paintbars are coming. Then indexes. Index stuff is similar to ticker tape. But frankly, ydfah, through the years with QT, I very rarely saw anyone saying they used QT's tickertape. Of course, since my interaction with users was mostly through tech support emails, maybe it just worked so perfectly and intuitively that no one emailed us about it.

Direct SMS is problematic, but there is always SMS-thru-email. So once we do email, all you have to do is find out what your provider's SMS-to-email gateway address is (there are online lists galore or you can ask them) and send an alert email to that gateway.

We in general try to add options sparingly. Show too many options, and no one will use them. It's the TL;DR principle.

We aim to please

"Compare Symbol" indicator.

Yes. Basically the TDA discontinuing the feed for QuoteTracker has nothing to do with Medved Trader. On edit: ok, after talking to Jerry, we will need to update your version (I presume it is 1.0.8588.0310) to use MT ID when getting authorization from TDA. It will be done in the next few days.
