  1.  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.

  2.  Looking at it right now and its set to 9:30AM.  When I exit and rerun, that setting will be gone.

     

     Just did it. the Custom period resets to last day, and the from box  no longer contains 9:30am but is reset to default 12:am

     

     Have you tested this with the same symbol.

     

     As for Current Day,  that wont work for me as I have Extended Hours set to Always on Futures so ALL data shows.  Current Day starts at the prev days open when set to Ext Hours always.

  3.  Thanks.

     

     Another color issue, will mention it here rather than start another thread.

     

     Wondering why we can't customize the Portfolio scheme color in the same manner you allow for charts.  Is that something you've just not gotten to or is there some reason for it. I know you didn't allow for easy mods in QT, but it could be done by hacking the ini file.

  4.  Hasn't done it at all today. No explanation.

     

     Only change I made was updating IB's TWS platform.  No idea what that would have to do with it.

     

    EDIT: spoke too soon. maybe has something to do with moving around in the Alert Log. sets off some issue.  just reaching.

  5.  Still seeing very heavy cpu usage .  Disabled alerts. same .

     

    Using 2 GIG ram????? 40% average CPU.   not good.

     

    Drops off at 4PM as soon as the quotes die off.

     

    Maybe the throttle you talked about needs tweaking.   At this rate , the cpu runs hot.  Running an i5-750 quad core,  8 gig ram Win 7 64bit

  6.  Just tried a close chart on AAPL, reopen , which seemed to save.

     

     When I shut down MT, the AAPL chart opens , with the custom time saved.

     

    I think stocks are working, but not working with my FUTURES charts for some reason, they are not saving . Using IB symbols.

     

     

    EDIT: I see where you are saving the data in the XML, but somehow its not restoring properly on reload.

  7.   This is why I waited to adopt MT.  Guess I didnt wait long enough . :o

     

       Some weird bug where the log jumps from realtime scrolling to  an older time and stops scrolling.

     

       I watched it do this for no apparent reason.  Sorting on time reverse.

     

       No idea what it is. Happens every  10 min or so??

  8.   Talking about the options to select time of day.

     

      Selected 0 days ago at 9:30 AM on a bunch of charts.

     

      When MT is restarted, that setting is gone and the default time of 12:AM is there.

     

     Using this setting for futures, to see only data from the open .

     

      Not sure how you want to handle one session to another, but at the very least, each chart should save the time entered (9:30) in this case so it doesn't have to be redone

  9.   not really a 'bug' but a usability issue.

     

      Depending on the color scheme, and the color used to highlight a row on an alert,  some of the columns(net change, $ change) become unreadable, until the alert clears.

     

     Since you probably want to see the net change when an alert is triggered, this is not a good thing.

     

     Suggest altering those columns to a contrasting color , when an alert is triggered ,and the user has highlighted the row
