  1. I would suggest  folks get on Schwabs case Re: this news thing. Which is a big deal . 

    Ask them why they think degrading the service Ameritrade had offered is acceptable.

  2. For reference, the Dashboard opens up immediately. 

    Looks to me like loading of the alerts is taking  up more time than it should .

    If I rename the Alerts XML temporarily  to test this , will it break anything ?   I wouldn't think so but just making sure.

     

     

  3.   I was given that email as a contact by the agent I spoke to in tech support.  Typical run around, though  the reply seemed  to indicate they knew exactly what I was asking ask they said  NO.   If they thought  the question should have been kicked to another dept, they would have said so, presumably.

      They did have an extended period of time to test the new api, and they do have a tremendous amount of  support staff.    When you or I have to produce and debug working code, it doesn't take a year.

     

  4. The reply I got was curt and unpromising

     

    Clearly the best interests of traders is not a priority at Charlies, as evidenced by this and a broken level 2 when they had years to prepare.

    I know the api is free, but still.

     

  5.   I know you have bigger fish to fry, but  this is a long standing issue, that maybe you can look into .

      I have quite a few alerts , maybe  125 , some active , some not.

      It takes at least 4 seconds for the editor to show after being invoked.

      Most other  operations in MT much faster. 

       Even loading it , closing, and reloading it immediately is slow.  

     

     

      Feels like something isn't optimized.

     

     

  6.   Clearly , the best interest of traders is not high up on Schwabs list of priorities, at least with regard to third party api

      I'll complain directly to them

      The TOS news feed is the same , with limited  scrollback (ridiculous) and even more ridiculous,   NO SYMBOLS  on the headlines ,and no alert system for keywords

     

     

      

     

  7. They have  the adv /decl indexes but not the combined for some nutty reason

    The $add is still good on TOS

    I tried doing a two symbol  X-Y thing, which seems to work for stocks , but oddly , does not produce the CURRENT day, only previous days ( backfill)

    That two symb subtraction does not work at all for $index's

     

     

     

  8.   Wow.  Thats very bad news.   How come this is the first we hearing of it , doesn't anyone trade off news ?

      I don't know what their reasoning is,  its very low bandwidth compared to quotes.

      Another nail in the coffin .

     

      TOS news is fine.   Why dont they just push that feed , and do away with the ridiculous 'subscription to symbols' policy.

     

     

      PS Yesterday $ADD seemed to work and today its dead.

     

  9.   Yes, the login faults, and warns after two tries that it wont try again to avoid  getting locked out.

       There is nothing on the internal MT login  to accommodate   the 2fa code.

       Whats causing the Etrade login screen to appear ? (that screen has the  2fa field)   I thought that if it stayed on screen long enough to be used,  you might be passing the auth back to MT .   Since it flashes and vanishes, no way for me to tell if thats what you intended

  10.  The internal Medved login does not have a 2fa field , so that wont work.   If does fail using only user/pass.    I have to use 2fa logging into  Etrade

     So theres a flash of the the Etrade  site login page that appears, but as I said, that closes on its own instantly.
