MOber Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Just bought the one year and trying to get everything setup. Ive created a Binance source and portfolio but notice the bid/ask coluoms are not updating?( last, change and chg% are tho) I added my TDAmeritrade portfolio and they update there so Im guessing there is Binance limitation maybe On the trade window I can get Last to populate the limit window but not bid/ask. Was looking in the docs but couldnt find the function of the MKT/LIMIT/STP icons in the upper left of a chart sorry for probably basic questions but Id rather ask than fight it thanks MIke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Binance - correct - they only return bid/ask data in their Level II feed not in Level I, which is why you are not seeing the bid/ask data for that. Trade window - this for Binance again? If so, same issue. MKT/LIMIT/STOP - those are order type selection buttons that show up if you have trading enabled on the charts. Go to the TRADING tab on the chart. there is an option there to enable trading as well as select the account and OPTIONS button that has stuff like "Show Order Types" which is what those buttons are. And definitely do NOT hesitate to ask. We really would rather you ask than waste time and get frustrated with the software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOber Posted April 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 KInda figured they were order type buttons( MKT/LIMIT/STOP ) however how are they used. If I click on them I dont see a order window or other action? Ive used TV for a year or so now and although its good it just doesnt lend itself for crypto trading all that well Next topic to learn is getting alerts from indicators, Did I see ref to a youtube video you did someplace?

Jerry Medved Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 You may want to do a quick look at the Youtube video for chart trading Basically, you would click on buy/sell buttons and that starts the process where you can drop the order on the chart. By default it would be a LIMIT order, but you can use the buttons to change the type of order that will be used. We have a bunch of other Youtube videos including for scanning and Paintbars (which is what you need for alerts on indicators) https://medvedtrader.com/youtube also can hit F1 in MT to get the help, then search for Scanner or Paintbars. Those are "advanced" topics - you are jumping in head first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOber Posted April 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Morning Quick question for you, started the morning off with a couple good trades. Have another platform that is trading Binance as well, I was happy to see MT pick up those trades and display them on the chart. However a couple of the buys were canceled but the order are still showing on the chart and in the Account View(Transactions). Ive tried the refresh and also canceling them but get a error of Cancel Order(s) failed for 4766329. Reason: Cancel Order(s) failed for 4766329. Reason: Either too late to cancel or Unknown Order Cancel Order: 4766329 thanks MIke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 that means the order was already canceled. on the Account View window, refresh did not update it? I will check on that. Could you send me the logGo to FILE / HELP => Send Log/Settings to support menu (from Dashboard or Portfolio) And add this Post’s URL in the comment. Basically, if it was canceled outside of MT and MT did not get the update for some reason, it would think the order is still open. Thus the error when sending the cancel.

MOber Posted April 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 on its way, not a biggy I noted in the log I just sent that I was adding in my Coinbase account this morning and after I finished noticed that chart had cleared those canceled orders but it had been quite awhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOber Posted April 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 ah sorry I had selected my coinbase account and they were gone on the binance chart. When I reselcted my Binance account the account was still showing those canceled orders Guess I have to get use to that. So does a displayed chart show valid data if you change the account still, and it just doesnt show the account activity that it was opened under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 the problem is that the order was canceled outside MT and for some reason, the notification of the cancellation did not get sent to MT based on the log. After you tried to cancel and it failed, MT should have known that it was canceled, but for some reason that did not get updated. still checking on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 fixed. will be in next update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
