jjevans Posted November 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Yes I have an account but just was looking for the process to enable the feed in Medved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 it should work - Change the quote so to TS on top of the PORTFOLIO window toolbar Change the quote so to TS for the INDEX panel (if it is open) top of the PORTFOLIO window toolbar on the INDEXES tab Turn off TD Ameritrade NEWS on SETTINGS / DATA SOURCES / NEWS If you have any Level II windows, change source to TS on top If you have any option chain windows open, change source for those.

jjevans Posted November 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) Hmmmm...there is no user / pass fields to log in and if I click the door icon that brings me to the non working web site. The ameritrade has the user / pass fields. Edited November 6, 2023 by jjevans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 different sources handle login differently. With TradeStation, MT will popup a window showing the TS login window for you to login Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjevans Posted November 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Where do I click to get the TS login? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 it is automatic. For quotes, just select TradeStation as the quote source on top of the portfolio window, on the toolbar, MAIN tab. If button says START, click on it. MT will then try to connect and will login as needed with needed prompts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Medved Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 I don't know what API you refer to. You do not need todo anything with API in MT. I need to get the log file to see what the problem is. Please do the following: Go to FILE / HELP => Send Log/Settings to support menu (from Dashboard or Portfolio) And add this Post’s URL in the comment.

I have no idea how that happened. what was it doing previously? Not sure what the problem is that you are reporting - where do you expect the icon to be?

Jerry Medved Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 we don't control which monitor the icons show on. That's windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 1 hour ago, Xena said: The account shows up but the market data does not. I checked your log/settings - you changed your level II to TradeStation source, but all your portfolio windows are still using TD Ameritrade. You also have TD Ameritrade selected for news. Need to change that. For news: SETTINGS / DATA SOURCES / NEWS - Uncheck TD Ameritrade for Portfolios, you need to show the toolbar on each portfolio window (F11 key) then change the source on the MAIN tab of the toolbar. Also, one of your portfolios has an Index panel showing. on that one, also click on INDEXES tab on the toolbar and change the source there as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 in MT there is a setting for separate icon for Portfolio windows. If you uncheck that, it will hide portfolio icons. HOWEVER, if the portfolio is minimized, THEN it will show the icon on the taskbar. This is a change since Windows 7. Windows 10 changed how minimized windows that are not on the taskbar are shown. (or now NOT shown). And because they are not shown when minimized, if no icon, there would be no easy way to get them back it sounds like you may have upgraded from Windows 7 to Win 10 or 11.

Jerry Medved Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 on the portfolio window, if the toolbar is not visible, hit F11 to show it. Then on the MAIN tab, change the source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
