Re: Backfilling InteractiveBrokers - very slow

If IB has hit a pace violation, with IB selected as active screen, hit CTRL-ALT-F on keyboard. It will cause srvers on IB to continue data without the pace violation wait. Kind of a pain, but will work unless you are trying to download huge amounts of data for more than one security.

If you have the 9XX number of the installation file, I may have what you want. I can't tell what versions I have without installing.

Re: Data Window Text Size

Re: Data Window Text Size

Thanks I did find that before. However, what I am trying to increase is the font size that is used in the pop up window that appears with a left mouse click in the chart. This pop up shows all the data for the time location of the mouse click. Hopefully there is a way to do it. Regards

Data Window Text Size

When hovering over a data point on a chart and using a left mouse click, a data window box appears. How do you change the text size in the data box. Have searched and tried many things, but can't find the solution. Help!

Re: Percent ruler with mouse

Attached minor modification of maxmax68 indicator. This indicator uses the left click mouse + ctrl key entry to initiate the data reference points on the chart. This prevents the indicator from starting a calculation with any mouse click on the chart. Also, an input was added to set the text size of...

Re: Price percent change charts?

Why is there such a resistance from Multicharts for adding this feature? This is an old thread and as yet it has not been added to Multicharts as far as I know. It has been in TS for a long time. It i a very useful tool.

Re: Limiting Exchanges

I only need one exchange which is IA Broker SMART. If I want to have a large list in pre-scanning, I have to go through the list and adjust each instrument to the exchange I want. Perhaps you have a way to do this in a more practical way.

Limiting Exchanges

If I want to limit the exchanges used, I believe I can delete them in Quotemanager. However if I want to restore some or all of them, how do I do it? Can it be done by making copies of the quotemanager files, then deleting exchanges in quotemanager, and use the file copies to restore if necessary. A...

Limiting Exchanges to a Few [SOLVED]

Is there a way to limit the exchanges shown when loading a new stock in a chart? Or is there a way to set a default exchange? I know you can delete exchanges in Quote Manager, but then how would you get one or more of them back if needed? I use interactive brokers and their SMART exchange for most o...

Re: Problem With Plotting from a Strategy to a Study [SOLVED]

OK---I found the problem. When plotting with the study and using NoPlot, I had the plot style type set to LINE. This then was plotting a line between the end of one trade and the beginning of the next trade when NoPlot was active. Changing the plot style type to point removed the connecting line. Wh...

"Screen shot? Where do you think is the problem? -- the value? or the plot/noplot?" The problem is not with the values. I can get both values wanted from the strategy to the study; namely the marketposition and the value of the trailing stop. I can plot each of these in the study,so I know that part...

Trying to use i_GetPlotValue and i_SetPlotValue and NoPlot(x) to plot calculated stop values from a strategy using a study.

Multicharts TWS version data limitation

IA TWS limits historical data for daily bars to one year. This is rather limiting for back testing on daily bars. Also Multicharts-TWS does not have a quote manager. Is there any way to add historical data from a different vendor to do backtesting without the Quote manager?
