I often want to use the VP drawing tool only on a few bars. However, in the Properties tab the width adjustment only allows for 100%. Can you release this limitation so I can use 200% or 300% or more so I can see the VP I draw properly instead of being squashed to the few bars its drawn on.

In that case would it be possible to access Value Area High, Value Area Low and POC with power language reserved words in the Volume Profile. Should I post a feature request or is that in the road map?

It would be important to be able to have TPO profiles for periods less than 1 day, eg 30 minutes or 60 minutes etc. Is this on the roadmap

I don't think so.

Thanks Arnie. I didn't understand what you meant by "different" but I now do. The other volume delta platform categorizes range bars as the number of PRICES in the range so a 5 tick range bar there has 5 prices and may have a high of 6 and a low of 2 while in MC a 5 tick or Point range bar...

Thanks for your help Arnie. I appreciate you helping getting to the bottom of it. When looking at the VD bar with the cursor it says the same height.

For me it is a problem when a regular point (range) bar of 6 Points (ticks) has a Volume Delta bar that has an interval of 6 Points but draws the bar as 7 Points.

Point Bar Size Error

With an interval of 6 Points the beta drew a Volume Delta bar of 7 Points. Also, when TEXT colour was changed from WHITE to BLACK the colour stayed WHITE.

Edit: I've just found the bar size issue exists in 8.8

Volume Delta: Improving the information on Volume Delta is great but you are missing the most important info: Comparing the number of contracts traded at the ASK versus the number of contracts traded at the BID rather than comparing volumes at the same price, See the link. http://www.MD.com/blog/201...

My sound files were recorded as .wav files using native Windows 7 Sound Recorder. That seems to have been the issue. I recorded new files using my phone and then used a file converter to convert them to .wav. These files worked fine.

Then is the answer to my question is that MC is NOT aware?

momentum

In the new beta, will MC be aware of the price at which an order is filled?

I am seeking to enter and have a true profit target of entry price plus profit amount in order to avoid profit slippage. Will this be possible?

momentum

You can also just import the TS version from woodies forum. there atre heaps in the TS section

.

momentum

There is no other value. Either it is filled or not at what was the closing porice of the bar when condition1 was met.

Will MC send a Limit order to IB at bar close if condition1 is met?

momentum

I am re-writing my strategies for the forthcoming beta that supports limit orders.

Will the following send a LIMIT order to Interactivebrokers at the price of the close of the bar that met the condition:

If condition1 = true then BuyPoint = Close;
Buy 5 contracts next bar at BuyPoint Limit;

momentum

I have bad data and went into Quote Manager, selected contract, righ clicked Edit Data, loaded data, highlighted data to delete, hit Delete, then OK, I then Cleared cache. When I created a new chart, the bad data was still there.

What am I missing?

momentum

Many thanks. Really appreciated.

Can someone tell me how to code a stop loss where the stop is one tick away from the High or Low of the Bar of Entry? I do a little easylanguage coding but can't get my head around this.

Thanks in Advance.

Check how you set up the symbol.

For DAX, I use a price scale of 1/10 and for a range bar of 5 points I input 50 for my compression setting when I charts. 12.5 is the Euro value of a tick.

How do you delete just the daily data?

momentum

This feature is much needed and would bring a lot of traderfs to MC. It is the killer feature for discretionary traders.

momentum

Are LIMIT and STOP and STOP LIMIT orders supported?

momentum

With the huge cpu loads of todays trading, I really would like to run eSignal on its own pc and access it from my MC workstation that runs MC only.

Is the fact that we cannot do this at the moment an eSignal licensing issue or a technical issue.

momentum

Of course its checked!

Will re-install MC.

momentum

I can't get any FX into MC although I can in TWS. In QuoteManager OK
1 minute charts
eg
EUR.GBP
EUR.USD

momentum

Should I be able to get intra day FX data from IB? I'm getting a NO DATA message. Symbol seems to be setup OK in QuoteManager. I can draw FX charts in TWS OK.

momentum

Loading a chart with, say, 1 tic data and 5 tic data produces a different Volume Profile? Why? I 1 tic the widest volume is around 8017 but is about 8021 on 5 tic

momentum

Just download the TS eld from woodies forum and import it into the MC Power Editor and compile it.

momentum

Resolved

How can I leave out some of the indicator from the Crosshair HINT. I have some 30 indicators on my chart and only want about 5 of them in the HINT otherwise it is too long.

momentum

No problem with IB connectivity and autotrading here

momentum

This happens to me too. I have an indicator that writes a text signal. I have to switch the indicator off and on again for the text to reappear. Later, it disappears again.

momentum

I want to create a stop loss that is the low and high of the bar of entry into the trade: Low for a long and high for a short.

Is there a way of defining this?

Thanks for any help

momentum

Is IntraBarPersist (intra bar order entry) currently supported? If not, any ETA?

Thanks

momentum

Andrew, is there a separate list of these EXTRA words and what they do?

momentum

I'm getting another PC and need to know how close we aqre to Vista compatability.

Thanks

momentum

The COMMENTARY window is VERY necessary. There are a number of third party apps that use it extensively for trading signals.

momentum

From what I can find out so far, the two IB feeds will have different symbol formats. I don't know whether both feeds are, by default, presented to TWS or whether a user needs to turn it on or even subscribe.

momentum

Happens about 80% I think. What I did each time was to add a new INPUT to the signal in Power Editor and make a change using the input, hit F3 and MC would crash.

momentum

Making a change to a signal in Power editor when the signal is in a chart in MC causes MC to crash.

momentum

Are you guys preparing to make the new IB data feed available in MC? This is pretty important as many MC users are IB customers too,
