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?
-
bigdec, the question I posed was: where would MT take the value of the 50 daily SMA from? It cannot calculate it from the intraday data. It can only calculate it from the historical data for the symbol, and there is no guarantee that the historical data is there or that it is up to date. If you never opened a historical chart for the symbol, and never backfilled on the historical chart, or if you did that, but a few days ago and not since, MT would have no way to calculate the value.
What *you* could do, if you wanted to, would be to open a historical chart for the symbol, put a 50 day SMA on it, note the value, then put a horizontal line indicator on the intraday chart with that value. Yes, it is a bit of work, but you would only have to do that once per day.

bigdec: here's the problem: where will MT get that info?
Granted, if there is up-to-date historical data stored for the symbol, it could be calculated from that. But there is absolutely no guarantee that there is.
-
bigdec: what does "daily SMA" mean in this case? MT can show you a lot of days of data on intraday charts. A session for a stock is 6.5h = 390 minutes. If you do SMA(1170) on a 1-min chart, that would be a "3 day SMA". If you have 20 or so days on your chart, that SMA would be pretty accurate.

gidielle: social media. Twitter, facebook, instagram, stocktwits, email, etc etc etc. PITA.
-
Thank you DavidE. Jerry and I are discussing what the most graceful way of resolving this is.
-
ydfah, if you do, we will happily include the color scheme in MT. The problem with letting users edit it in general, as Jerry said, is that the colors need to be finely balanced with each other. Charts are easier
-
Changed Events indicator, allowing to show Letters E D or S instead of star, and setting placement of indicator. Will be in next beta release.
-
Send me (support@medvedtrader.com) a pic of the indicator from that other system on some stock - let's say MSFT 1 day historical chart. Make sure to use the "high/low" setting on the indicator. Tell me what the parameters are. I will check on it.
-
I am pretty sure that in MT, if you choose Volatility Trend indicator with the High/Low period of 1, and SMA or EMA type of smoothing for ATR, you will get that indicator.
-
To add to Jerry's post, the reason *why* the chart trading capsules snap to certain increments are:
1. There *has* to be some granularity otherwise you cannot drag the price precisely to the value you want.
2. Brokerages reject orders where prices are not on certain increments.

I will look into this. Thanks for the suggestion.
