Seeing consistent high cpu in the last week, probably since the last build. Seems to come and go, but overall much more usage than normal (35-50% cpu for long periods)

Here's how I use it. I have mini charts for all ports that I have open, so I need the backfill for them. I often start late in the morning, so I don't have the data . As for Scan, well, I'm having to remember to turn it on every day. I thought computers were supposed to make life easy ? I don't care if there's a delay before you autostart , but don't see why we can't do that, if the user requests it. I don't have 100's of stocks on display, so in my case the load is minimal.

no comment?

Maybe I missed it , but don't see how to automatically activate the loaded scan. Have to remember to manually turn them on . How about a setting for that . Be nice to automatically backfill open ports when MT is started as well, instead of having to HOTKEY each one. See no reason why that can't be done. If its server load, then why not just do it staggered on a delay. Don't have to make that a default, but an option.

Thought the latest beta might fix this but no. Started recently, the LASTVOL column flashes the value and then goes blank again. Ameritrade only, not IB

I have been using Dexpot, for MANY years, a very good virtual desktop program, that isn't really being supported much anymore (afaik) but works quite well on Windows 7, and probably Windows 10 . Pretty near everything works with it including Medvedtrader

Just to answer, no, seems to be a prob with all symbols. I'll try to get the log sent

No , only a few L2. Some days much worse than others, can't really say what the trigger is. Often , the L2 data will populate but NOT the L1 data. The data box above just stays at zero, no price or volume data

I've seen a pretty consistent issue with the loading of an Ameritrade L2 box for some time (years). I often have to re-enter a symbol more than once to get the data to load. It's as if the first call to the server fails. Timeout? Only L2 Ameritrade seems to have an issue, no other problems on the platform resembling that. Wonder is anyone else has seen the issue.

I think its even less than that , really a trickle. I'll try a subset , maybe the s&p 500, and see if it works any better I take it thats 2000 in total. Shame you cant access the same streaming news that thinkorswim uses.

two sets of comma delimited, seems to total 4886 , or at least thats the number showing in the SOURCES screen under NEWS Overload at that amount? Would it totally break everything, and not cut off at some number?

Having trouble getting news to deliver much of anything from Ameritrade. Have large symbol lists (1000's) that are supposed to cause news for those to print. Very little actually flows . I assume thats the DJCNEWS source., Probably getting less than 1/10 of % of the news that shows on the thinkorswim platform feed Yahoo seems to work. And the new ally news, also , very little from that . Got a blast when I started up , and then nothing for 4 hours. I know this isn't right ..

Right, I knew I needed advanced. I'm confused as to the format of how to compare timestamp to a specific time of day. IF (timestamp > 9:00 ) do something I tried something that and was getting errors but not enough info to know what was wrong.

I see you don't expose bar time in the simple editor ( as far as I can tell) , so I'm trying to get the TIMESTAMP variable to work , but not being a C programmer, and there being few examples here, I'm running into brick walls. I know this is simple. Need to compare bar time to a fixed time or range of times. Don't need date.

Funds showing today in MT. Strange though, seeing the "D" indicator on quotes even though they are actually realtime (compared with my other rt feeds)

works. Don't need that for the others, so who new ?

Tried a bunch of permutations, cant get the Russell 2000 RTY to quote on IB . Shows on tws, other futures are fine on MT @RTYM18 , the description popup knows this is the contract, just no data

Thanks. I'll let you know if the funds don't show up in MT by tomorrow.

getting quotes on a port, restarted, still free version The account is enabled in MT , but isnt pulling any funds data. Just funded today.

Ok, funded the account, added it to MT, but still not premium.

Ok, thought maybe switching to the full version might need some switch. So just add the Ally account and MT automatically goes paid version? Didn't fund yet or I'd just try it .

Yo! Long time. Been using the free version for some time , but just opened a new Ally Invest account so will be enjoying the full blessings of all the features . What's the best way to migrate over to the new user login. Do I just start from scratch or is there a better way .

Didnt think so.

Notice quite a few L2 failing to update last two days. Is this you or them? Random symbols. just looked at pahc , loads but no updating

pretty sure that volume tweak is the problem . volume IS updating, so not sure why the issue, but I'm sure you'll nail it.
