Cant use the new alert log indicator, get errors as soon as its added to the chart . I sent a log a of this a while back.

Forgot you could do a portfolio alert, never use that. Not a bad solution

Very nice, wonder why I didnt think of it .

Very hard to control price spike/move alerts , as the sensitivity of low priced stocks is much diff than high. So a 3% alert on a $1 stock will trigger all the time, but rarely on a $100 stock. I know this can be done in code, but I like using the built in global alerts where possible. So , a price range filter in the $ and % alerts would be useful.

That explains it . Not a big deal, probably just leave it as it .

My account has direct routing enabled, and I can place a direct routed order using TOS, but Medved is throwing this error

ok .

Seems no way to use the user defined color sets, they dont show up in the dropdown .

yes, its up .

any work around for this

All of a sudden can't log in to Ameritrade. medvedtrader.com is also down. Any connection ??

I bet. I can handle it fine , just prefer not to capture 50 million data points I dont need.

Ok , I see it working now. Binance feed is insane though, who needs all those transactions flying through . Wouldnt want to have that running all day for btc and eth

cant seem to get a quote on the FTT token , tried a few things including #FTT.USD

Source of confusion seems to be the tag when CREATED. Didnt realize it could say DST or STD. I cant be the only one 😐

This was a 3:58 pm alert that got adjusted to 2:58 with DST checked. Is this wrong, or do I not get your explanation as shown

Still running perfectly since the rebuild. When i get a chance , might try reloading the suspect layout to see if its still broken .

Since rebuilding from a blank layout, none of that problem can be seen . Much more responsive overall. Let's see if this continues . If so , pretty clear there was some corruption on that well worn layout

Of course I'm already using that , and can't remember why I even asked this . 🙄

Looking to pass values/text from a scan to the alert system . Seems a simple thing 😉

The backups that are automatically made contain the layouts and their old positions. Try restoring from a backup .

Just sent a log after this issue cropped up again . Did some testing . I closed and reloaded MT (same layout) , same problem. I thought I had narrowed down the problem to this DEXPOT virtual desktop thing I use, but sadly, its not the issue. At least as far as I can tell. I just tried a number of things . Reloading. Rebooting. All these still had issues of various severity. All displayed lagging in the way MT responding to mouse and keyboard. No error messages or crashing was observed. The ONLY thing that 100% cures it (as in the past ) is going back a few days to another layout. So I have to think something is being saved internally to these bad layouts that is causing this. I seem to have eliminated external factors. PS Just tried this. After loading the GOOD working layout from a few days ago , I restored ONLY the "CURRENT LAYOUT" from the bad save, Problem immediately recurs. Did the reverse,reloading the CURRENT LAYOUT from the known good save, and it was fine , once again. This might help focus your debugging.

I just reloaded that entire 'bad' settings file , and it seems to be running ok. Now I'm mystified. The only thing thats not the same is the DATA (quotes) which have been changed since that file was created. Dunno, some bad ticks got in there and were cleaned ?? Any theories as to what could cause those not responding errors that I get from time to time?

Didn't start a new thread since it was the same actual problem. Yes , I should have sent the log, would MT know that it's windows were hanging and log that ? Thought you might be able to duplicate the problem with only the settings. I assume you tried. I'll try that reload of the bad settings, though I'm pretty sure I've done the equivalent of that by rebooting and loading them (still fails) , then reloading an older set to get back to normal. Since that issue , no problems at all. Sleep , wake, everything fine. This is something that has happened a number of times over the years, and it seems to be some random thing. Only thing I do that's out of the ordinary is run DEXPOT a virtual desktop program, that does some window manipulation that might aggravate something. Using that for well over a decade daily, so its pretty robust. Curiously , sometimes, like now, running cleanly, I get this in Task Manager for MT. When that HANGING problem occurs, I get that blast of many (all) windows showing in TM , as pictured in the first message.(42 ) . Might be some clue to something.

Dont want to hijack my own thread, but the problem might be unrelated to sleep. Have had this happen a number of times before. Something corrupts on its own , and the window response becomes very lagged. Dropdowns refuse to work , or take crazy long to appear. No error messages, just those not respondings as pictured above. This time , as in the past, the only cure it to reload a SETTINGS layout , using restore, from a few days before. So don't know why, but some garbage is getting into the system and breaking it. I saved a copy of the broken layout, if you want to look at it . Sending it by email .
