  1. it works the same in MT - Backill all button is on the portfolio. We don't want to allow Backfill all for all portfolios because that abuses the servers and is not needed in most cases.  

     Ive wasted 10 years of my life pressing BF on all 5 or 6 ports I use. Every day , sometimes more if QT crashes.

     

     Really would like to see a BF all, maybe 10 years ago it was too much for the servers. today, not the case imo.

     

     Isnt the backfill only requesting  missing data or do you just ask for everything over again?

  2. MT does use a bit more. However, there are other things that can impact it.  Are you using Microsoft Security Essentials?

      A bit more would be ok, this is 5X more. not ok ;-).   Yes I do use MSE, should I exclude MT, I konw I did that with QT .  Is that why so high CPU?

  3.   Running QT & MT at the same time with basically the same data, much heavier MT usage vs QT, something I would not have expected to see .

     

     QT at 5-6%  MT 25%     seeing higher ram usage as well, not as big an issue.

  4.   Starting to recreate my QT setup under MT.  Slow going but I think it will be worth it.

     

      First suggestion, I set up a simple global 1% move alert.  Right away I get a notice for the NYSE-TICK symbol I have in one of the ports.

     

      Where a value fluctuates wildly all day, you wouldn't want a Global  alert to trigger. 

     

      So an 'exclude this symbol from future alerts'  on the popup would be a good thing to add.

  5.     I have MT installed  in a VM , and looked over the latest  build .  Some very nice new features , I like the mini chart view , and the mirror draw in particular.

     

        Nice improvements in the alerts as well.   Custom indicators coming eventually?

     

      

     Saw a mention of 'copying the folder' an another thread, will MT  work if I copy the folder to my production machine, or does it need to be installed from the original file?

  6.    Would be nice to have a "confirm" before closing a window feature.  Find it too easy to accidentally  close a window.

     

       Should be window specific (ie, feature selectable on a per window basis)

  7.  Still have problems using global in old QT. Thats why I stopped using it .  The alert processing thread crashes after a while.  Kills alerts, wont close cleanly on exit.  Also kills chart linking oddly enough .

     

     Yep, this has been an issue all along., too late to fix it I realize.

  8. alert in a text window - not just audio ??? MT trade alerts are not just audio. I am not sure I follow.  You can setup a global trade alert and have it do any notification that any other MT alerts are capable of.

     You know, I tried that years ago and either had trouble with it, or couldnt figure something out. Just tried it again, seems to work on last size column. Maybe I didnt do it right the first time and just gave up.  I vaguely recall some crashing issues with GLOBAL but it was a long long time ago on a diff computer. 

     

    I havent used the new IB t&s feature yet, apparently you open a t&s window and add symbols to it, it consolidates them all into one stream, as I suggested.

  9.  IB must read this board, they just added this feature.

     

     There's a few things MT needs to be world class.

     

     Consolidated t&s AND  block alerts /trade alerts in a TEXT WINDOW, not just audio.  The way QT does it you have to set up an audio alert for EVERY stock you want to track, and there's no TEXT alert to go with it.

  10. hi Jerry.  I must admit I haven't been using the new MT for daily use, waiting until 90% of the functionality is there, specifically custom indicators.  Are we there yet?

      Ok, here's something I'd like to see. This is a feature that was present in the old WATCHER Soes software I used back in the day.  

      They would show quote changes (of course , that was pre decimal, and pre hft) for the ENTIRE Nasdaq market.

      Now we don't need that , but it would be very useful to have a single Time and Sales  window for the entire live portfolio, filterable by trade size, so you could see important movement/action of any stock you are watching.

      As it is , spotting action is hit and miss, for anyone watching more than a handful of tickers. A single screen with all trades scrolling might be busy, but with a size filter you would only have to watch ONE window, not a dozen.

      I think daytraders would appreciate it.
