NH11 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 How do I delete Data Sources that I no longer use. I've got datafeeds listed on the Source tab of the Dashboard that are old but can't delete them. It keeps causing error messages to pop-up saying I'm not connected to them.

Jerry Medved Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 if they are shown on SOURCES in the dashboard, then they are in fact being used. That means you have them selected for quotes on top of portfolio, or on the INDEXES tab of the portfolio window, or source on Level II. Also, a common one - NEWS. Go to SETTINGS / DATA SOURCES / NEWS and uncheck the ones you are not using. Once done, restart MT. If you can't find where a particular source is being used, send us the settings and we can check for you . Go to FILE / HELP => Send Log/Settings to support menu (from Dashboard or Portfolio) indicate in the comment what the problem is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave401 Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Ahh thanks Jerry. I was having this issue too. I didn't realize unchecking the "Show at top of selection list" was the way to turn them off. I had been trying to set the smart source priority to never, and unchecking all the supported functionality stuff. Didn't dawn on me about the top of selection list. I figured it was just a way of sorting the ones you could use. Perhaps adding a snippet to that checkbox in the future explaining that it disables accounts as data sources? To make it blatantly obvious for the technically challenged users like me 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 setting smart source priority to never would make it so that source would not get picked up when MT tries to determine the source for backfill or charts. That should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
