Hello Marina,
The new beta has many new usefull backtesting calculations. I tried to find this feature:
''Backtesting-Chart Synchronization has been added. It is now possible to click on a point on one of the available Equity Curve lines or on a trade in the List of Trades and have the chart scrolled to the respective trade and have the entry arrow highlighted.''
but somehow I could not find it.
Could you please guide in detail what path I should click (a screenshot would be helpfull) to arrive at the synchronization feature?
Thanks

Hi Tresor,Hello Marina,

Attached, please find two screenshots. One is showing how clicking on a trade in the list of trades scrolls your chart to the specified trade and highlights its arrow.
The second screenshot is showing how clicking on a point on the equity curve, scrolls the chart to the bar with the same date (this bar will be the utmost right bar on the chart).
Hope it helps.

Hi Marina,
they are not protected.
You could try it with the attachement. It contains the 2 built in indicators
"Mov Avg 1 Line" and "Mov Avg 2 Lines". If you try to import them you only see 1 of them and without a name.

Lockup Issue
Hi All,
I just wanted to report a issue I have seen with the latest beta and see if anyone else has seen it. When I minimize the MC program and try to bring it back up after a while it seems to be locked up. By lockup I mean the screen is all gray where the charts would normally be and the cursor is a hourglass. I have left it for a couple hours and it never recovered. I am charting data from IB and Opentick with about 6 workspaces open. Overall I think the program has greatly improved and the developers are doing a great job.
Thanks

Make sure your computer is not going into Hibernate or power down mode. While your away. Check your power settings. If it does so, You will loose your datafeed connections and it may not be recovering from that when you wake it up causing the problem you are seeing.

Hi,
My computer is not going into sleep mode. I am sitting at it all day working on other stuff with MC minimized. I have run MC this way for the past 2 years, and watch for alerts to popup on indicators while I work. This appeared in the latest beta
Thanks

V5 beta1 has been known to have the following bugs at least:
[1] MC locked up after a while (maybe when Autotrading is on)
[2] MC does not generate signals after a while even though MC displays them on the chart and SPR
I hope these serious bugs get fixed as soon as possible because these bugs make MC unusable at all.
Maybe your bugs are stemmed from another causes but these bugs are what I experienced so far.

How often does this problem occur? Do you have any detached windows in those workspaces? What is the workspace set up? How many chart windows do you have there? Is auto trading enabled?
Thank you for the info.
Regards.

There is a bug when MC freezes on auto trading being turned off. It has been fixed. The fix will be availble in the next version.
[1] MC locked up after a while (maybe when Autotrading is on)
If this is the same problem that you described in your e-mail where you asked to explain how the synchronous works, the answer is: in the synchronous mode there is no convertation for unfilled stop orders.[2] MC does not generate signals after a while even though MC displays them on the chart and SPR

Hi SUPER,There is one instance when MC froze when I treid to swithoff autotrade with open positiion on IB, close positon dialoge window came live and on selection of close posiiton option an order was sent to IB and soon after MC froze. I had to powerdown my PC.
This is a known bug. The fix has already been implemented. It will be available in the next version of the program.
Regards.
=> No it is separate one. Synchronous mode email is to just ask how SA mode works.There is a bug when MC freezes on auto trading being turned off. It has been fixed. The fix will be availble in the next version.

=> Next version means 5.0.1781.202?

The problem of not generating signals after a while AA is turned on was confirmed by you that it is a known bug and said to be fixed in the next(which I thought 5.0.1781.202).
Is it fixed in 5.0.1782.202? Or Do I have to wait until next version again?

Hi Marina,
Sorry I did not get back to you sooner, I have been out. Here is the answers to the questions about V5 Beta 201
I do run a detached chart on the tick symbol from IB
I am NOT using auto trading at all
The going to sleep issue I saw with beta 201 seems to happen if I leave it mininized for > 2 hrs
The alerts still work even though it will not restore my screen
All I see is a gray screen
