I discussed it with Jerry - I have the basic doc ready, unfortunately there are some issues that we have to resolve, as well as UI for it. It's not forgotten.
-
MT does write to disk quite a bit. It uses memory-mapped files, so changes it makes (as data comes in) get flushed to disk. Antivirus programs monitor disk writes and will slow things down.

zenlando, in QT, if you have two inline charts on the same symbol, they cannot have different "extended hours" setting. If you set it to never show extended hours on one, it will set it to the same on the other one.
In MT, you can set it to be different on two different charts for the same symbol. That is why you cannot do one trendline alert that would show up on both charts.
BUT. We are making it so that if you have two intraday charts that are time-based and have the same time frame and extended hours setting (but different frequencies, for example), they will share the trendline alert. Once done, it will be in next release.
-
Trendline Alert being unique to chart: imagine a trendline drawn on a chart that never shows extended hours, with both anchors set one day back. Then think of the same line, with same anchors, drawn on a chart that shows extended hours for the last day. The position of the continuation of the trendline on current day would be different between the two charts. So you cannot do a trendline alert that is not unique per chart - it would be ambiguous.
-
By this, do you mean take the last year's yields from historical data, add them up and show that as percentage of the "paid" price?
-
Once I finish the documentation of how to write indicators (working on it now) you will be able to do this and almost anything else you can think of.
-
In MT, click on Fib Fan on the Draw Tab, then draw it on the chart.
-
I have to sit down and spend a few days writing a doc about how to write indicators in MT... It's a big project
Will do that some time in the next couple of months.

Mid point - the bar in which there is the volume where volume above and volume below are equal
POC - biggest volume bar

Hm... We could, for all indicators, add the "fixed range high/low" parameter that would allow you to set fixed range for currently dynamic indicators or change the fixed range for currently fixed ones...
The only problem is complexity. This adds more "stuff" to that window. Users get scared when faced with so many choices.
-
The way we utilize SDATA.BIN file, unless you call up a lot of charts that have a lot of data, they do not eat up memory or slow things down. That is, data that is not being used (like showing it in a chart) just sits on disk, and doesn't figure into anything. So SDATA.BIN file can grow arbitrarily large and the only thing it will affect is when you export it or back it up...

Can you give me links to such indicators somewhere out there?
-
Ok thanks. That bug is now fixed and you will see the fix in next release.
Here's the logic MT uses:
1. For the same indicator (that is, if you link two or more of same indicator with diff parameters), the axis is reused
2. For others, it looks at ranges. If one range is less than 4 times the other range, same axis is used. Otherwise, it splits off another axis.
3. 3 maximum axes' values are plotted. The other axes would still work but their values would not be shown.
What you're seeing (some dynamic, some fixed) is just how each indicator is programmed. Some indicators have fixed ranges - like 0 to 100, always. Some are left to be dynamic.
-
will go look at that.
On edit: looked and fixed it. Same indicators should always share an axis now. Will be in next release.
-
Hmm
Can you give me an example of two indicators that, when linked, will show values on one axis and not spread it on two? That definitely needs to be fixed.
-
no, MT can show or the value of EMA or nothing
I will rephrase. I can possibly, in theory, show the values of EMA or the values of the pressure bars, not both (because it would be too jumbled together otherwise). I *chose*, when making the indicator, to show the EMA values because they are usually more significant.
-
I can show the values of EMA or the values of the pressure bars, not both (because it would be too jumbled together otherwise). The Pressure bars are too volatile - the values keep jumping - so the EMAs are more valuable to see. If you wish, you can set EMA period to 1 and then the value will be shown at the last pressure bar.
-
If you use Num of Trades as it is right now, put up two of them, set one to show "Only at Bid" and the other "Only at Ask" - wouldn't that do what you want?
-
1. Bring up a historical chart, for any symbol. Configure it the way you like it.
2. Link it by clicking on a little pin symbol in the caption of the window. Pick some color (let's say green)
3. Link your portfolio to the same color pin (that is, green)
4. Now clicking on a symbol in the portfolio will change the historical chart to that symbol.

Moving chart right-left - hover your mouse over the chart and use the wheel on the mouse. Zooming in/out - hover your mouse over the chart, press CTRL key and use the wheel on the mouse.

"Separate colours for Value (assume you are calling this range) and Mid"
Can you explain? I am looking at VbP on intraday chart, and there is a range color and mid color. And I am not sure what "Value" is - "Range" shows the two bars that contain the "range percentage" of all volume between them.
"Align RHS"
Do you mean mirror them so they are drawn right to left instead of left to right? I haven't seen them done this way, and the "extend" lines - should they still go to the right?
-
VWAP:
1. added Weekly - will be next beta release
2. The width of the VWAP bands is multiplier times the standard deviation over a specified period.
VbP
Added weekly and monthly - but really don't see much value in the "weekly" ones.
-
I think when we do the Paintbars, one of the conditions of paintbars may be time-based, and one of the coloring options would be background color...
-
Sure, just create a custom time frame that includes those periods, and show the charts using it.
Send us screenshots for web site gallery

I am currently in the process of building MT web site. One of the pages will be a Screenshot Gallery
Please email us (to support[at]medvedtrader.com) your favorite screenshots that you think highlight well various MT's features. Can be multi-window or one-window screenshots. If you have a multi-monitor workstation set up that runs MT, take that picture too (make sure all the Coke cans are off the table
) Please blur out all personal details from the screens - I will also look out for them and blur them out before placing the pics on the web site.
If you like, include a text blurb (not too long) that describes what's in the screenshot - to be included in the gallery.
Thanks
Mike
