  1.  Nice job  on the Alert color.

     

     Actually , I could live with it as it is, but was looking for user selectable colors on a per alert basis. Reason, for special 'important' alerts, the ability to make the line stand out. You go blind glancing at the scroll all day. I use audio alerts , but it gets noisy.

     

    Entire line colored would be useful as well.

  2.   Basically, I want the volume chart for futures through expiration.  I don't subscribe to IQfeed, I use IB's data.

     

     So I think you'd have to do something where certain symbols could be retained for a longer period of time.

     

    Otherwise  would have to keep data on 100+ stocks for 60 days just so ES & NQ can be preserved for that period.

  3.    I see that the sdata.bin had gotten to 900 meg.   I reduced days to 30 and that brought if down to <500 meg, as expected

     

      There's an issue with that though.  For stocks, I really dont care, but I'd like to save at least the consolidated bars for FUTURES symbols for at least 90 days.

     

      I assume I'll lose that intraday data after 30 days on the ES , NQ etc with the setting at 30 . 

     

     Is there some way to deal with this?

  4. Filtering is already off.

     

    IB datafeed. The Ameritrade feed I also use doesn't have futures.

     

    All I see at that time is about 10k worth of volume at 16:44-45, then starts up again at 16:30 with normal volume.

     

    Thats' why I think there's an issue, the chart is showing something else as you can see.,

     

    It's a big file, but could always send you the data to look at.

  5.   Saving of time seems to be fixed nicely but seeing another odd related issue.

     

     for ES only, NQ is fine.   9:30am is not displaying right. It was working previously. The chart  starts at 9:15, this is on a 1 minute chart. I've seen it start at other odd times, besides 9:30.   Tried clear/backfill, no diff.

  6.   Not sure how this behavior is what's intended.

     

      I customize the from time (the third line option, 0 days From 9:30AM) in chart XYZ.  During the session this is remembered and I can simply press '0' and get that chart to display as wanted. If I call up the edit box again, it leaves my modified time setting alone .

     

        Now , the next day , when this chart is reloaded, I would expect that custom time to be remembered and available to me without having to reenter it each and every day.

     

      Reselecting custom time popup using '0', should not arbitrarily  delete my entered values. It should simply enable editing them. 

     

      I explained why I need to use the manual 9:30 start , as the ES settings I'm using  dont start the chart there using the built in options. 

     

     PS , I see now that even during the session, if I modify the timeframe options , ie selecting  Last/Time (row 1 of the popup) it also deletes the custom time entered on row 3.   I'd seriously rethink  this design, as there is no benefit that I can see and causes extra work for the user, who chooses to vary the timeframe view.

  7.  Here's the problem   Looks to me like the time data is saved in current.layout,   correct me if  I'm wrong.

     

      If I send you the layout AFTER I enter the data, it will be there.  If I send you the layout AFTER I close and reopen it wont have the custom time data.

     

     Tell you what I just saw.

     

     I entered an odd time 9:37.  I closed and reopened MT.   I quickly pressed 0 on the @ES chart.  It was THERE!   And a few seconds later it wasn't. 

     

     Sorry, if I'm encroaching  on the debugging process, I really don't want to spend tons of time doing this, but these are obnoxious and hard to replicate problems and if I don't  bang on them here you're not going to be able to replicate them so easily.

     

     Here's what I've found. The data seems to be saved, but as soon as you do anything with the chart, select another timeframe, keyboard or use the ctrl-mousewheel, , I see an Unknown Timeframe message flash on the top of the chart, and the custom timeframe value is lost.

     

     See if you can duplicate this.  If you can't I'll record it.
