How hard would it be to add a more sophisticated scan criteria to the Headline scanner. Pretty sure there are open source RegEx modules that can be plugged in without too much effort , would be helpful.

Not much in the way of explanation anywhere

Can we add a control for the color of the quotes. The red is too dark to be comfortable, if you keep the screen dim.

This might be the bug of the year Have an up and down audio file playing on alert . The up alert is fine . Plays every time The down alert only plays every OTHER trigger. Tried this manually (press play) . Tried swapping the wave file with the up alert wave . Same issue Seems to not be a problem in actual usage, thats what I was investigating. (sound does trigger at each event) . Never mind, merry Xmas!

Ok, the workaround is moving one of the small columns to the far right, so desc can be sized. I see you do a mouseover over the news with the new Stock Details app, why not add that to the alert box ?

pleased to report that a 10+ years old program not updated for 3+ years , works better at virtual desktops than MSFT's up to date code. who else is not surprised ?

Not really a bug, but could use a tweak. In the ALERTS LOG , when a news alert hits, you can see the headline in the alert, but only if you click on the DESCRIPTION column not so bad, but the clicking forces the description column to the left of the screen . This means you have to manually drag the scroller back to get the columns to the left of it back in view. Better if it didn't move at all. Even better, and possible I think , would be the mouseover to work without any clicking. Kill two birds.

So far , so good. 10000x better than the ridiculous W10 implementation, and haven't seen any of the issues I reported (yet) I think they actually hide the window off screen, not sure how W10 does it.

lol, tell you what, the built in VD is so heinous, I've loaded up Dexpot to see if it runs well enough to use Billions of dollars and they cant work up a usable VD product at MSFT They could have paid the dexpot guy a few 100k and had a world class utility

I was going to say, the problem is probably the MS code and not yours, but Virtual Desktops are 'supposed' to be transparent to the app I used MT (current!) and QT before it for a very long time using Dexpot , a Virtual Desktop utility. This was under Windows 7 So not sure what you mean by doesn't support. \ Running Thinkorswim and TWS simultaneously, neither exhibit this window jumping issue Problem is , Dexpot hasn't been updated for years, and I wanted to avoid using abandonware.

Actually, seeing this jumping around even when the window is not active.

Tried locking all windows, no help. Figured it out, what's happening is, when I move from Desktop 1 to Desktop 2, if one of your windows is active (selected), it follows the move . No good. See if you can duplicate the problem

Just went Windows 10 on a new build . Having some issues with SOME MT windows jumping from one virtual desktop to another, unasked. Not seeing this with any other app (yet) Is this something you've heard of or is it a new one ?

yep, black style . thanks

Loaded up the latest beta today. Any idea what the flashing blue border is on SOME of the open ports ?

Have a feeling the Min Volume param might need work. Seeing hits when volume is a lot less than what I've set

Seems to be working as intended This is a good scan, surprised we didnt thing of it sooner 😂

tried it twice and got the error . just tried it again after toggling the OCA to none, and no error. Tried OCA again, and no error. So it's something flaky. That was the first trade attempt today, if thats any help

Just tried entering an order off a chart, and got an unhandled exception error sending the log now

Still not working . You cant enter a decent value for % increase, like 50%, it reverts back to a much lower value. 5% max!

ps, I know there's a keyword alert already . I use it Is there any way to have multiple phrases is the same alert. ie comma separated . I dont think that works now, so a separate alert for every keyword is needed. Correct me if Im wrong.

There is a LOT of noise in the news stream. A keyword filter for exclusion AND a highlight method to flag items of interest would be HUGE

def confused on this since I rarely need to use it , I wont worry about it now.

here's what i did i had to change the default source to IB , and use their symbol. this worked should be able to select IB for only THIS symbol as alternate without changing default, but thats not working as it is, have to go back in and change default to 'smart' again, after backfilling

That site switching issue seems not limited to this symbol . ok , i see whats happ. you have to change the default source to get that to work. thought you could do that on a symbol basis ?? dont want to change the global default ??
