Something I've noticed for quite a while. Maybe you have an idea of what's causing it. Mostly see this in after hours, where the bid or offer is taken out, but does not get removed from the Amtd L2 box. I use the Arca/Nasdaq feed on MT and ib's TWS as a reference. IB is very accurate. So the stale bid or offer sits there on the screen until another trade update or something triggers a refresh Seems like either they are not sending the data or MT is missing it somehow. I've seen this many times. If you want a screen shot, I'll grab one next time I see it.

Should probably make use of that, but would have to append it to an exiting portfolio scan as you can only have one active scan. I know you said you were working on allowing multiple scans .

sent, forgot the url but described the issue in the message

New beta, looks like all the portfolios in the system are selected for NEWS and cant be unselected. Also , seems to have broken my Amertrade news symbol subs. Not working. May be related to above issue

I like the new Volume increase % scan. Should be useful. Two things. I think we need a minimum volume filter to prevent slow stocks with little overall volume from triggering on only a few shares traded., Notice you stop at 999%. No reason to really, Used as a global scan, might want to look for extreme volume over 10x . Thanks for the new features.

In the case of UBER, that's the official closing AUCTION print, which can sometimes be quite a bit different than the print just before 4pm Looking at the largest print within 5 seconds of the close would work most of the time ,but NOT always, to capture the official close. Closing prints are often delayed. Pretty sure that the closing price tag is sent over the Feeds, but not sure MT would have access to that data.

I got ya. I just recently started using the absolute figures , so that explains it

dynamic with padding is resetting to dynamic on symbol change don't think thats suppose to happen

shame, the native TWS is quite fast I know I used the DDE version to show ES depth some time ago , and it seemed ok. Surprised its so bad you can't implement it . Too much overhead ?

Just noticed Im getting full TOP OF BOOK on TWS market depth trader screen, but getting nothing through MT when source is set to IB Isn't this supported through the api ?

I knew something would break

I had Ameritrade switch me over to the 'advanced' server, and now MT is throwing an error for conditional orders Are you aware of an issue with that other server. I tried logging off and on , but didnt make a diff. Straight limit order is ok SERVER RESPONSE: Problem Placing an Order: Conditional Orders are not permitted for accounts in this segment. OTA LEG 1: BUY 6 CRC at LIMIT of 7.31 Day LEG 2: SELL 6 CRC at LIMIT of 7.56 Day

And I've used it, not sure why I haven't been making more use of it . So many features, so little time .

Yeah, really. This was not even a high volume name, and it missed quite a few of the blocks as I was watching . Maybe something like X volume increase over the last X seconds would work better. I know you dont store previous volume. Not sure how you'd do this

Wondering, would too many quotes possibly cause this ? Any way for the scanner code to be bypassed ?

Great. Thanks

Setting an alert for say, 400 shares, and a 5 second timeout. Getting frequent periods where the alert should fire but doesn't. Looking right at t&s . Seems the trades are being missed for some reason. Seems random.

😊 Why didnt I think of that Certainly tried that before bothering you . I use a 4k TV screen , so charts are relatively small. and no adjustment to color makes much diff. Probably because you chop a few pixels off the edges guess you could make that an option (Thick VolumeBars)

I assumed you were making the vol bars narrower for cosmetics . so is there any way to make the vol bars bright when displaying a full day or no ? not a huge problem, just wondering

p1 exhibits the low brightness p2 shows the same chart but showing fewer minutes so the volume bars expand, and don't seem to have a lowered brightness note the price bars are the same in both

I think even in your pic, the volume bars are dimmer than the price bars

Any idea why the volume bars are much dimmer than the same price bar (same width) ?? Colors are set pretty bright in settings., but dont get full brightness until I zoom out quite a bit. Makes them hard to see

Got the msg, haven't loaded it up yet.

might have something to do with them switching back to Nasdaq listing. backend issue works on TOS but not MT via api

I'm putting question here since its the same subject. Playing around with the Booktrader in IB and MT, it seems on an OTOCA order, you cant adjust all three legs at the same time. Am I right about this ? Wouldn't it be useful to be able to move the parent limit price and have the other legs follow along at the same original 'distance' ? Seems too obvious, I must be mistaken . 😉
