Switching Symbols in Scanner doesn't load symbol in chart

Postby FutureTrader » 21 Jun 2013

Hi,
I'm using 8.7 beta 2. (problem also exists with older MC versions)
Data Feed TS.
I have a scanner linked to a chart window.
Symbols:
@FDAX (or any else, e.g. @ES)
DE:$DAX

Loading DE:$DAX never seems to work. Putting the symbol directly in a new chart, is loading the data in the window.
What is going wrong?
Can someone reproduce this behavior?

Hello FutureTrader,

Please specify the exact issue you have. Are you unable to load data for DE:$DAX in the scanner window? Compare your chart and scanner instrument settings (right click on the symbol in the scanner->format instrument->settings).

The settings are the same.
I also see data for DE:$DAX in the scanner window.
Example:
When I click on @ES in the scanner, the chart window updates to @ES
But when I click on DE:$DAX the chart window doesn't udpate.

This behavior is just with symbol DE:$DAX, all other work.

Just give it a try.

Hello FutureTrader,

This issue has been confirmed. It is caused by symbol prefix (DE:). It will be fixed in MultiCharts 8.8.

There will be no 8.7. beta3. This week we are going to have MultiCharts 8.7 Release. This version will not include the fix for this issue. It will be fixed in MultiCharts 8.8.
