In fact, just as in QT, MT attempts not to over-extend the scale on volume too much. When "scale by max" is not checked, the upper scale is capped at 10 times the average of the visible portion of the EMA of the volume (even if you don't show the EMA). When "scale by max" is checked, the cap is not there.

From Jerry (he's traveling): "We have it implemented. Waiting for them to release the signup." he will contact them next week.

Please do the following to help us diagnose it: go to FILE / Export/Backup menu (from Dashboard or Portfolio) Select “To share with others” export file protection option on top right Leave the checkboxes already checked, and also check LOG FILE. Export, then email us the exported file to support@medvedtrader.com

edkal3: in the future, if you are having any problems, either post here or email us at support@medvedtrader.com We will respond quickly.

We have a feature in the pipeline that would allow users to "dock" a bunch of windows together so that when you move one you move the whole group. Once that is done, maybe we can add a feature where you can save/restore a dock-group.

That shows initial setup of Medved Trader and shows how to use the "trading from charts" feature in it. Full-screen the video in order to see it best. If you're wondering, the voice is Jerry's.

We're having an issue right now with our credit card processor. While this is going on, we have to hold off on any new registrations. We will announce once payment functionality is restored. MT will continue to function fully meanwhile

I am not sure what is happening - can you send us to support@medvedtrader.com the snapshots of before and after?

Hm.. As I am implementing it, I am pretty amazed just how little the "total return" charts differ from regular charts. I mean, yes, the values are different, but the general shape is basically the same. Even for REITs, which, I thought, would be most affected.

If you mean the chart that has dividends rolled into the price - no, we don't do that. Is that what you meant? We *could* take the available dividend data and adjust the prices with it (as an option). Can you show me an example of someone doing that?

I will look into this. Thanks for the suggestion.

That would be Volume by Chart shown for the visible portion of the chart. We're looking at that, it's in the list.

There is such a thing as too many features What you *can* do, today, is to "Sync Frequency" on all open intraday charts.

Opening range doesn't really look at High/Low of the candles. It goes through every tick for the opening period and calcs the high and low of it. Are you saying you just want the first tick's value and the last tick's? That's kinda arbitrary.

rotor: sorry to hear about your hospital stay. The sub button will start working by the end of the month

Hm, this on startup? Ok. Thanks. Will look.

rotor: I didn't receive it yet I don't think. If you like, copy/paste it here...

Thanks for the report, for now, yes, change the time. We will have to fix it so that the time is specified as local to you or to some specified timezone.

Lego is trademarked. Snap-to's?

ydfah: we are planning a "docking" system for windows so you will be able to dock several windows together and they will move around, hide and restore together as a group.

gidielle: the first thing you said you can do already. Do a Line Tick chart and set 3 min as the frequency. The indicators will be calculated on 3-min candles but the prices will show as a line tick chart. The second scenarios is much harder to do...

Yes, that's because the previous sequence ended "early" on MT. I will go look at code again, but I checked it pretty extensively before...

The only difference I see is in the second-to-last sequence, where MT terminates it earlier than Stockcharts. It may be due to some minute difference in timing of quotes. The rule for PSAR is that if the new point that is calculated on the upward sequence is higher than the low of the candle on which it falls, the PSAR switches directions. From what you're showing, that white dot is *right* on the low, so either that minute difference in quotes between the two systems has caused the condition to trigger or Stockcharts implemented it comparing it to close instead of low. Hard to tell. I also see the same boundary condition on one of the prior sequences. Could be same problem...

ok well that makes for a lot of complications. For example, are the invisible "tick candles" evenly spaced just like they would be if it was a tick candle chart? If so, displaying the tick lines would be difficult and a bit inconsistent visually, since they would have to stretch/squeeze into the candle widths. Alternatively, if tick lines were displayed time-based, but only the indicators were calculated on the "tick candle" points that were not evenly spaced, that would be even more difficult, because internally the whole machinery is set up to be on evenly spaced points.

You're saying instead of calculating indicators in MT tick charts on time-based (invisible) candles, do it on tick-based candles?
