That's great news! Much appreciated.

I suspected that might be the case so I moved the trendlines inward with at least a 10 day buffer from the oldest dates, and well as staggered some lines ever further right, but that doesn't seem to help. The strange thing is usually the entire set of parallel lines are lost rather than just one or a few.

When mapping trendlines on extended intraday charts (using full 120 days), trendlines spanning close to the entire chart (over 100+ days) don't always save. When the program is reopened, the longer term trendlines previously drawn are likely to be absent. This doesn't happen all the time, but usually after a few exit-saves and restarts- but it is fairly consistent that eventually the longer term spanning trend lines will eventually fail to save and be absent when the program is opened. The interesting thing is when the trend lines vanish, all the parallel lines typically vanish as opposed to just a few lines on that particular trend line angle. I've also tried setting up one of the trend lines as an "alert", but that isn't a fail safe either. The shorter term drawn trend lines don't seen to be affected.

That's what I thought - thanks for confirming. I wanted to be sure my stock portfolios would still be updated without issue.

Interactive Brokers is ending the "US Securities & Futures Value Bundle for Non-Professionals" on March 1st: http://ibkb.interactivebrokers.com/article/2830 It will be replaced by "US Securities Snapshot & Futures value Bundle for Non Professionals" which will now only provide "snapshot" quotes for NYSE,AMEX, and NASDAQ data rather than RT quote stream as before. One will have to subscribe separately to NYSE,AMEX,and NASDAQ to receive their RT stream quote feeds at additional cost of $1.50 each. Since Medved Trader uses "smart quotes" which is non source specific, if one is trading stocks using MT's charts rather than IB's, and has sign ups with other brokerage accounts such as Trade King, Ameritrade, etc.., MT charting of stock data should be unaffected with just having IB's snapshot data feed package since MT will get the RT stream stock quotes from the other available sources while just getting the futures stream data from IB? I hope my question isn't too convoluted. =) Thanks!

1) Yes - snap to candles was selected. 2) So far so good with the BETA. 3) Will do. Thanks!

I'm now recently noticing (this week) on several occasions than when plotting trendlines on an intraday chart (1 minute freq) some of the lines seem to be drawn to lock in on nearby points rather than the exact cursor position. Also when a trend line is duplicated and/or moved to a nearby location, the line shifts and appears to remap to alternate non parallel points different from the original line or position/angle. On less frequent occasions, trend lines stop mapping, in that I can start drawing a line, but the endpoint won't lock and the line disappears. When this happens, I have to restart the program.

Thanks- if the slowness persists, I will send you the log files. I have my TK account set as a data source for quotes and as the trading interface. Does TK need to be set as the default data source?

I've never had any such slowdown in the past- this week is the first occurrence of such behavior with no change in my portfolio size. I have two futures porfolio's of about 24 symbols each, and one stocks portfolio of 45 symbols. I click backfill on only one portfolio at a time which seems to update only that portfolio rather than all. One a portfolio is done updating, I select backfill on the next. The slow down is happening with every portfolio, starting with the first one selected. " MT assumes you will actually be using TK. If TK is not used in MT for a while, your MT account subscription will expire. " I'm confused. The "Tradeking Promo" made no mention of being required to place trades through MT, or even on Tradeking. The only requirement was funding a Tradeking account and adhering to their terms. I also only opened my TK account a few weeks ago, so even if the account had a trading requirement - that would mean one is expected to place trades at least monthly or sooner?

I forgot to mention this anomaly that also happened Friday but will now include in case it's related- when I started up the program yesterday, I got the "using free service symbol/portfolio limitations" warning even though I had my Trade King account verified weeks earlier and was operating without issue. I restarted, and this time the program started up without a problem.

Data seems to load at equal speed when applied directly to a backfill activated on the chart. @ymz16 loaded at the same speed using dummy test symbol chart and actual symbol chart. The delay seems to stem from using "backfill all" on the portfolio window. I do portfolio backfills weekly, and up to this week, the backfill have been so fast, I had to double check to see if they actually completed, which they did. This is the first time I'm seeing it take so long to go through the process, and some symbols aren't getting updated.

Data goes back to April of this year for some. For others, just a few weeks, such as @ymz16,@nqz16,@ymh17, etc... @esz16 loaded after a while, as did @esh17, but others didn't on the first pass and needed multiple or direct chart attempts.

Hi, I was wondering if there are any noted current issues with backfill. Normally backfill is lightning fast updating all symbols. When I tried using it Friday and today, it's now acting very slow/sluggish taking minutes to process where prior it took seconds. Stocks process slow but completed. I had to initiate backfill on the chart directly in some cases for futures data. My data sources are IB, Ameritade, Tradeking, and Yahoo finance. This is the first time I'm experiencing such a slowdown. Update: This is the error message that was triggered- not sure if it's related: *********** 10/08/16 8:24:27 PM: MT.Util.MTErrorObj: Type=Error Severity=Medium Action=Log, ShowIndicator Code=OldOffsets Length not equal new offsets length 60 119 Message= Details=AppVer: 1.1.1700.2018 Err.Flags: Log, ShowIndicator

For premium accounts, how is the reversion to free handled? Will the portfolios and charts in excess of the data limitations placed on the free account just be "locked" to limit the view of data exceeding that range, or will data be truncated and lost?

Screenshots with explanation sent.

When I used the bottom scroll button to adjust the amount of time shown in the display (shortening), some of the drawn trend lines disappear. I'm not able to get a close up short term view of some trend line set ups. The lines reappear if I expand the time frame.

Congratulations on such a major milestone! As old as QT is, the majority of charting SW couldn't hold a candle to it. One clear example is your incorporation of trendline alerts that isn't part of so many other big name packages. I and others have asked Metastock years ago about including this feature as well but to date there has been nada. Of course now your upgraded MT is truly in a league of it's own. One suggestion on pricing- you could add the option/discounts for 3mo and 6mo subs as well, as that would provide more options for an extended commitment to use the system. As a forum user, will I have to also formally register on the MT website? Congrats again on bringing this new version to life.

Is it possible to import QT intraday data into MT? I'm missing some futures data beyond ten days and was wondering if I could use my saved QT data to fill the gap. Thanks.

I'm getting the same error message as well and can't log in.

Okay, if I clear all the data, how much back data will I lose on the update, or will all back data be restored? Thanks!

Hi, I noticed today that my intraday stock charts were missing a few days (6/22-6/25), but when I clicked the portfolio "Backfill All" button, the charts would update to fill the gap. However, when I click on individual charts within the portfolio and click on that particular backfill button, the chart gaps are filled in. I'm using TD_Ameritrade as my backfill data source.
