The developers of 'True Trendline' have a huge number of options for their lines (unnecessary in my view), but might give some way to approach this?

I don't think that I had seen the above quoted link in the earlier post. Nice.

OK, I see what you mean now.
-
ha, I still like this idea... but now wondering if a different right-click menu in the empty area could cause confusion.
-
If I enable "Show Watermark", the <Symbol> on the caption becomes redundant, and the space could be used for something else. Screen real estate is really important.
God point

Will you be adding a simple alert for the price above or below a given value? When a price has crossed a set amount when MT is not active the crossing alert will not trigger.
Hi, I am curious, you would like an alert to be activated when MT is not active, and I am assuming by 'not active', you mean that MTis not running?
-
yeah, that was a nice feature indeed, but I also realized it disappeared at the same time AMTD scanner died.

hahaha. Thank you very much Mike!

I really like the idea of 3-touch auto-trendlines, but I have been trying this out and not sure I am finding the advantage/clarity I assumed it would yield.. as yet.
If you guys find a few stocks that you can see reasonable use of these lines, please feel free to share them if possible, that way I can examine more closely. I have subscribed to the thread just in case.
I should ask.. are you guys using these for intraday charts or just daily?
-
I'd say keep it simple - for example; call the main chart area the "Main Panel" and, all other panels, whether above or below the "Main Panel" would be referred to as a "Sub Panel". Sub Panel means subordinate to, and not necessarily, physically below, the Main Panel. So you would always have the Main Panel along with however many Sub Panels you want, either above or below the Main Panel.
The indicators could then be placed on the Main Panel, or in their own separate Sub Panel either above or below the Main Panel as you desire. On the Chart Indicator Selection Window, you can group the indicators as "Usually on the Main Panel" or "Usually on a Sub Panel".
I thought of that approach, but I think I found myself hung up on the idea that as a rule, sub sends the message of being inferior or below, and using that may also cause similar confusion that they seem to be running away from. If it can be argued that the immediate interpretation would be clear, then ... sounds good to me!
On the other hand, regarding ehjump suggestion, it seems also that they are trying to make it clear that indicators can be anywhere on the chart, 'almost' without limitation, and so in that case, saying indicator panel and main panel may be counter to what I seem to understand is the goal.
So, unless I am confused, how about 'Main Pane' and 'Secondary Pane', and so... 'Usually on Main Pane', 'Usually On Secondary Pane'.
Note: I also think that 'Pane' is the more accurate term. Now, please understand that this is intended to be gentle feedback I wanted to share.
Thoughts???
-
so you want a single reference name for these parts ... A and B in the picture? How about 'Panes'?
-
eg: VBP on the historical chart has an option for the 'period' as 'visible'. Such an option for SRC would be nice so that one does not have to manually calculate the period in terms of days the way we currently have to in QT, as well as MT.

Have you looked at poker? What are your thoughts?
-
I would think that most of us would never have our portfolio list 100% populated, thus always leaving at least an empty area below the list.
So, any thoughts to placing in the right-click menu, some of the functions one may want to expand/show the ribbon to see? Currently there is no function there when right-clicking.
Suggestions right away for this are list/portfolio related:
-Manage portfolio and symbols
-Symbols (The function under 'add symbols and delete' that takes one to the edit symbols window for current list)
-Select portfolio
-Backfill all
I think it is instinctive to know that if one right-clicks on a symbol in the list, that options may come up relating to the symbol, but right-clicking in an empty area would bring up options for the list as a whole or said window.
-
I know you likely mean all of the color sets but it would be helpful if you speak of a single one that you like to use and see if work could be done on that single one as a springboard.

Just a personal perspective:
I am really a daytrader overall. I personally operate in watchlist mode. This is so because I watch a whole lot of stocks and they change daily.. Being able to directly type a note in the row of a stock in a watchlist could be very useful. As a matter of fact, I do not ever really use portfolio view.
-
sorry Mike...I love JERRY, not you
%age subtotals there today
lol, I really wanted to see this continue
-
I just wanted to place a reminder here for when this is possible in the future. This would be nice for the folks who do not really need the dashboard present on each launch.

I think it woud be very powerful and useful to be able to directly edit the 'note' field when looking at one's portfolio or watchlist. The way it works currently, one has to choose to edit portfolio or watchlist, then make the note.

I pretty much use the watchlist feature as opposed to portfolio list. For watchlist views I see no such option. Ameritrade is my backfield source.
Even so, if I am scanning stocks, which I do, by entering them onto the charts, I would not have them populated in portfolio nor the watchlist. Is there no way to have this automatically adjusted unless the source does it? And if so, do you know the sources that may do this?
-
I have had the issue with QT and now MT where stocks that have had a reverse split are not adjusted on the charts. Instead they show up as gapping to current levels.
-
I am sorry but actually, I just confirmed that it does not work for MT, but works for other programs. I also do not like wasted space so I usually decrease those things overall in windows, but looks like though the title bar text etc were changed, MT keeps its size.
You can see for yourself:
right-click on desktop, select personalize,/windows color/advanced appearance settings and just click on the areas you want to re-size. eg: You can try active title-bar and menu bar are size is 15, with the font size 8. Scroll bar width is 10.

@Saty,
You can reduce that yourself in your windows setting and it will be applied to all windows.

we are trying to satisfy both the mouse and keyboard people. The keyboard shortcuts are mostly a secondary way to access some command. It is pretty rare for it to be the only way to access something, In the case of the crosshair, I really don't want to make the user have to click on something in order to bring it up. User has the option to have it always on, one way or another (the choice has been added to the next version). The keyboard shortcuts are only used to temporarily toggle the selection.
As for right click menus, I mentioned before my apprehension of overcrowding them again. I do plan to add some user customization for that in the future.
This is GREAT.

Stephane,
I am confident that these guys are not going anywhere and this product will be around and developed for a very long time.
You should check their history with their other product called Quotetracker, which was bought out by Ameritrade. Their level of support and persistence should give you an indication of their commitment to support and development.
Again, I am confident that you will keep seeing development and maintenance of this product for a long time.
BTW... I signed up for the beta releases which come very often. You can sign up for beta releases ..... SETTINGS / APPLICATION / GENERAL - there is a checkbox there for it.
