15.0 build 26125 fails to get latest free and ascii quotes

Postby cwelch » 09 May 2024

This got broken for me when I upgraded to 15.0 26125.

Take a simple free quote index, like the NASDAQ ^IXIC and chart it. I used to be able to .rld it during the day and it would pick up the latest quotes so I could see the index evolve as the day goes along.

This doesn't work anymore, it never displays the current data with .rld. I have to close and reopen Multicharts for it to pick up the latest quote. I now have this problem with both Free and ASCII quote data sources.

I go into QuoteManager, right click and use Edit Data and it also is missing the current quote for both Free and ASCII data sets. I can open the ASCII file and see it has a more current quote than what Multicharts picks up. It doesn't get loaded. Multicharts seems to get stuck on what ever it picked up when I opened the application.

This worked in all the previous versions of Multicharts that I've used.

Is there anyway to correct this? I use this a lot so I'm going to go back to the version I was previously using if this can't be solved.

Thanks in advance.

I've tried using .rld, .rld glob and View/Reload/Reload All Data (Ctrl-R).

All fail to get the latest data, it remains stuck on the data that was loaded when it was first started.

.rld glob works late in day, I ran it around 7:00 PM, but doesn't show latest quotes while markets are open. Multicharts version 15 build 26125 has to be closed and reopened if I want to see updated data during the day. I monitor a lot of stocks, so this isn't practical, it takes a lot of time where as I can just do a simple .rld with the previous release I used and everything works as expected.

I've reverted to version 14 build 25793, the previous release I was using and .rld or Ctrl-R works fine again.

The problem I'm encountering is a bug with version 15 26125.

Double check your chart with another source after a refresh as you may not be seeing the latest quotes if you are using ASCII or Free quote sources. I only use ASCII/Free sources for monitoring indices, but can't see the latest quote values while the markets are open.
