Financial Problems at TS???

Well folks, they're now charging credit cards but not providing service. It may be time for all to bail and find another charting service. These people have not responded in four days to my renewal request but they've managed to charge my credit card for this month. It's time to warn all ET members.

MC Stops Working On New Session

Every morning when the session starts at 8:30 MC hangs and does not update prices as the market moves. The attached pic illustrates the problem. The only workaround I've found is to restart MC, which of course takes 10 minutes since it has to backfill from IB. Is this a known problem? Is there anoth...

Trendlines/Channels

Please provide the option to turn off the popup helper window that appears when placing/moving trendlines and channels. The window does nothing but get in the way and frequently hides the very price points used while aligning channels. Also, please add icons to the Drawing toolbar that represent up/...

No More Gaps

I was looking at my long term charts and realized how clean they looked, then I realized session breaks no longer appear as gaps on the chart.

Mojotrader, Session breaks don't affect indicators and your screenshot proves this fact: if we draw a line from the session break you will see a hole in the indicator indicating the place of the session break. We agree that such holes are unacceptable and it is fixed in the current MultiCharts vers...

In addition to the visual distortion of charts, the session break gaps DO affect indicators. Note in the attached chart (28,800 Volume on ER2) each session break gap forms a point on the indicators below. Just get a ruler and draw a line down from each session break and you'll notice that the indica...

In this case the pop-up window doesn't hide the cursor and if you move it to the place where you want to put the trendline the pop-up window will move synchronously and won't cover the area pointed by the cursor. Thanks for your feedback. We'll consider the possibility to add a setting that will hi...

Mojotrader and Nick, Could you post screenshots illustrating the situation when the popup window 'gets in the way' as we failed to reproduce this? This isn't the best example but it was easy to reproduce. This is a Down Channel that I'm trying to move by grabbing the top trend line between the two ...

Popup Window While Moving Channels

Is there a way to turn off the popup window that appears while moving or adjusting channels? The window gets in the way of where I'm trying to locate the channel especially while on the right edge of the screen.

Thanks,

As a follow-up, Ensign Software's IB refresh also failed. I had to update using their DTN feed.

This is definitely an IB problem and I don't think there is anything MC can do to resolve this, other than display charts with available data.

This pacing violation is an IB innovation and it means that after a number of data requests IB stops processing the incoming requests and after some time starts again. So for now after some time IB begins to return data in MultiCharts. We will take this into consideration and try to adjust to this ...

Dear ~mojo, I'll comment on each of your issues one by one. DEFECTS 1. If you use one chart you can compress, expand, move up and down it without clicking on it, all is set up by default. If you have several charts first you need to click on the necessary chart. 2. The settings you mentioned are no...

mojotrader,

check your settings for pricescale in QM. I bet you'll have 1/10000 (the standard for Globex). Change it to 1/100 and you'll need 50 for a 5 Tick Range Bar (5 if you change it to 1/10).

Chris
Thanks Chris, that worked.

5000 Point setting for 5 Tick Range Bar on ER2

There seems to be a problem with range bar (Point) settings on MC Beta. A 5000 Point setting displays a 5 tick (1/2 point) range bar on ER2. I use .5, 1.0, and 2.0 point range bars in ensign. The imposed limit of 10000 won't allow me to produce 2pt range bars in MC

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick response Kate. I can't access that timeframe on my ensign charts since I wasn't keeping more than 5K bars, and I inadvertently refreshed my ensign charts using DTN, which wiped out my IB data. The anomaly has appeared several times today and occurred last week as well. I’ll use ...

Problems with Volume Charts

Please see the attached pic for problems with volume charts on MC Beta. It appears too many bars are printed when compard to other charting software such as Ensign.

Both charts are 450 volume using the same IB datafeed. Note pic has been mislabeled. It should be ER2H7.
