I think this V4 is a step back...
look at the thick bars... all the tips are rounded.
This was fixed ages ago... it is back again? WTF ???
to MC engineers:
This is a charting program. We need PRECISE charts.
i.e. when a bar terminates at 900, we MUST be able to see the bar ENDED at 900.
A rounded tip DOES NOT tell the precise price point.
DO YOU GET IT?
please see attached for illustration.

I, also, am noticing that I need to start, exit and then restart MC after I have freshly booted the computer. As if some .dll has not loaded yet prior to starting MC. Once it is running it is solid though.I am sad to report... this latest version has been crashing since I installed it last night...
right now it has locked up MC while uploading the log to TSSUPPORT...
I will try reboot again.

What is happening with the scale?
I appreciate the closer grids of this new version...
I trade ES... it increments at 0.25.
but I am getting the 1/5 scale... i.e. divided at 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80
and I can't change it or do anything about it !!!
it wasn't like this before in the beta versions.
p.s. is it that difficult to build the scale control like the Excel spreadsheet?
please see attached for scale problem illustration.

anybody noticed the ES volume is not quite right?
after reload, the chart is only showing half the actual volume.
I am using IB
p.s. I have just upgraded to MC5b1... the volume is corrected after a chart reload.
seems the problem is in MC4OR.
p.s. sorry.... I found the same volume bar problem in v5b1

Both ver 4 and ver 5 hang at startup due to one of the studies in two charts using global variables. If I wait to load the workspaces after MC starts, the program seems to load properly. Also, once I delete the studies from the charts, the program and workspaces seems to load properly at startup.

I have the same problem - Multicharts locks up when I click on the desktop icon. I use task manager to quit the Multicharts.exe process.
I then click the desktop icon and Multicharts loads.
I do not load any workspaces when Multicharts opens
None of my workspaces use indicators with global variables (I only use ones I wrote myself)
EDIT: I am running Version 5.0 Beta 1 (Build 1737)

The increment in your screenshot is 1.60. This step is calculated automatically depending on the window and font size.
Could you please tell us who excel spreadsheets address similar tasks?
Thank you.

We used to employ the following alogrithm to identify when a new tick from IB should be generated:
Every time a new batch of data arrived from IB, the program checked if Total Volume changed. If it didn't, a new tick wasn't generated. This algorithm resulted in the delayed quotes effect.
We changed that algorithm. Now, when deciding if a new tick should be generated, the program checks last size. This helped to get rid of the delays, but resulted in the wrong volume values.
Our engineers are now working on addressing this issue. You will see correct values in 5.0 beta 2.
Best regards.

Could you pleas send us your workspace, studies and the variables so that we could reproduce the situation on our end?
Please e-mail them all to mpashkova@tssupport.com
Thank you!

Just to make sure that we are on the same page:
MultiCharts does not open any workspaces on start. You simply run the program but it won't load the first time. But it will run the second time, after you have killed the MultiCharts.exe process? Is that right?
Thank you for clarifications.
Regards.

I did not know there is an Art and Science to build a simple volume histogram... no wonder MC's volume is always different from IB's... and different from NT, Ensign, Esignal, QuoteTracker....Hi TJ,anybody noticed the ES volume is not quite right?

My technical analysis depends heavily on volume data... please make MC's volume data the same as IB's.
Thank you.
