Low and open quotes of the day

[Jack690]

If I take the example of GDSI, MT gives a low at 0,0055 but a open at 0,0045. The open is wrong and this result in a to low candle on the historical chart. However the next day the candel from the day before becomes right with a low at 0,0055. This appens every day with a lot of stocks. I suppose the reason lies with Yahoo? ( I have delayed quotes from Yahoo ).

by default, MT is set to get real-time updates for the historical charts. What that means is that the last candle is computed from the intraday quote's OPEN, HIGH, LOW, LAST values. NOTE: from the quote, NOT from the intraday charts.   What you described means that either the quotes are not updated or are incorrect. Do you have a portfolio open and getting quotes with for that symbol?

 

[Jack690]

Yes, my portfolio is open. And it shows for GDSI : OPEN at 0,0045

 

The value for "OPEN" is not right. The open was 0,0063

you have "Use HTML Quotes" checked on SETTINGS / DATA SOURCES / CONFIGURE ACCOUNTS - with Yahoo selected.  With HTML quotes, MT does not get OPEN data (it is not on their quote). 

[Jack690]

Jerry, send you a email with pictures. And Yes HTML quotes are chequed. I had to do this because the course did not properly responded.

[Jerry Medved]

with HTML option selected, the OPEN will not be updated, so the open you have is from whenever it was last retrieved.  

try turning off the HTML quote option.  should work OK. MT will automatically switch to HTML quotes for symbols that it knows need that. 

[Jack690]

Ok, I turned off the HTML option and push the refresh on the portfolio. Nothing changed.

I will see tomorrow what gives, but earlier this week it gave problems without the HTML option.

[Jerry Medved]

if you are having problems without the HTML option, then set the log level to 200 (bottom right of the main dashboard. Then refresh the portfolio, then go to FILE / Export Settings. 

Leave the checkboxes already checked, and also check LOG FILE.

Export, then email me the exported file and the YAHOO*.HMTL files in the following folder:

C:\Users\<Your Windows Login here>\AppData\Local\2GK\Medved Trader\Temp\Streamers\

btw, I know what went wrong in setting the log level at 200. I typed 200 in the field instead of using the pulldown menu.

[Jerry Medved]

got your files. There was a general issue with the way MT was parsing the API quotes from Yahoo. Fixed and sent you a version.

Thanks. Looks good now.
