[chart color set changed]

Weird. When I restored an even older backup my custom colors came back and now when I restore from the most recent

backup I have custom settings too.It is now showing "new chart color set" in menu when it didn't before.

So if I only want to restore color sets, would it work to uncheck everything except "user settings (roaming)" ?

[chart color set changed]

I have been using a custom color set for my charts for many months now but today all

my charts have changed back to the default color set view.

I have tried restoring several different back ups and even my column layout but the charts

stay the same.

What is the backup file that saves the color set view?

[amtd streamer stopped]

That worked. Thanks.

[amtd streamer stopped]

Jerry, exactly how do I re-install? I can't find an install program. I have tried deleting the files in the folder and logging in

and it seems to re-install MT but I still have the same error. Thanks.

[amtd streamer stopped]

I have tried exiting and restarting with no luck.

How do I reinstall and can I do it without losing my custom settings?

Thanks.

I was trying out a new computer build and I now get an error about AMTD streaming.

It was working on my old computer yesterday and still works with QT. Here is error details

[historical chart prices wrong]

I don't know how long it has been this way but the high, low, close prices shown on the

historical charts are not right for some stocks in MT.

An example is NLY. I bought it for 11.70 on 9/11/13 but on the chart it shows a high of

10.49 and low of 10.2577. 

I looked in QT and it showed a range between 11.74 and 11.48 which is correct.

Volume is different too.

[can't open MT now]

Deleting SNEWS.BIN fixed it.

I couldn't find SNEWS.BIN.BAK but when I looked again after MT opened it was there.

 

Thanks.

[can't open MT now]

I can't get into MT now. The first error box says:

An error occurred while opening the NEWS data file.

And then whether yes or no is selected I get

[Difficulty bringing MT Windows to front]

And one thing I've never quite understood

When clicking on the MT icon in the taskbar you see the dashboard and portfolio view but can only return to dashboard (clicking on portfolio does nothing) but at other times it will work normally.

[news not working?]

Under portfolios to monitor I have all portfolios checked.

I will send you the exported settings file but what is your e-mail address?

[news not working?]

I get "no news " for every stock now. I have Yahoo and Google Finance both checked

for news sources and I have tried restarting news sources

["total" row changed?]

When in portfolio view I now have the "total" row at the top of the list instead of

at the bottom where it belongs. Is there a way to move it to the bottom as dragging

doesn't seem to work. Thanks.

[settings backup]

Thanks for reply. Good to know all settings can be backed up.

 

The reason I got interested was because one of my portfolio views

changed recently. The column names and widths were completely different in

only one portfolio ( I have several watchlists). It has not happened again

so I don't know if it was a bug or a glitch in my computer. Will report if it

happens again.

[settings backup]

I'm a little confused about backups.

If I save a column layout in the ribbon it has a file extension of .PortColLayout.

 

Under file..load layout..it wants only .layout extension and will not load any other.

 

I was assuming that file... save layout not only saves column layout but all other

settings too but then what is the difference between that and the .MTExport file

you get when you use the export tab?

[settings backup]

What files should be saved to keep backups of column views, portfoilios and custom charts?

QT automatically backed up critical files but I dont think MT does.

[adding or editing portfolio]

The latest version ol MT seems to have a problem when adding to or trying to

edit the items in the portfolio.

I never had this problem in previous versions.

 

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

[request custom priceline thickness]

The latest update has fully adjustable priceline thickness and works great.

 

Thanks, Mike and Jerry.

[request custom priceline thickness]

I mostly use line charts and with 2 or more trendlines the priceline sometimes is hard to see.

In QT you could adjust the thickness of the priceline but I don't think MT has that.

 

I think one of the reasons QT was preferred by so many people was because nearly

everything was customizable.

[can't hide some indicators]

thanks

[can't hide some indicators]

I have SMA, EMA and DEMA for chart indicators and when I click on change/edit, hide indicator
it does not work for these. However I also have events, dividends and it will hide. I am able to
change the settings for the others but they will not hide.
I don't know if it has anything to do with it but I received a critical error message about a day ago
and restarted MT. Am sending a copy of that.

[value in portfolio view]

update again:  the columns are labeled chg$ and chg% instead of value change like it was in QT.

(love it when I'm smart enough to solve my own dumbness)

[value in portfolio view]

update:  I did find value in there (the column was resized too small) but still have not

found valchgn

[value in portfolio view]

I can't seem to find value and valchg in the columns when in portfolio view.

These would be a lot more important to me than some of the others in there.

[crosshair indicator prices]

 Thanks jerry.

I see how to change the font size in charts but is there any way

to set font to bold so it shows up better?

and is there a way to show the market index panel like in QT?
