Alert display: Seting the default to "Always"

Postby arjfca » 17 Oct 2013

Hello

Is there a way to set the Alarm Display time to "Always" as the default value instead of 5 seconds that is set actually. I could change it manually, but would like to have the choice.

Hello Arjfca,
  1. In the Format Study window on the Alerts tab you can change it manually to "Always open",
  2. In the same window at the bottom of it you can check "Use as Default" box and all new studies you apply will be set to be displayed until you close them.
Unfortunately there is no way you can do the same for all already applied studies on your workspaces, you will have to reset them manually. To make it easier you can create study templates first, then follow the steps is described above and you will save some time removing all studies and applying them back to charts.

Andrew, I can't select the "Use as Default" button

Any reason?

Well... It a bug. :-D But already a fixed one. Please download the latest MultiCharts 8.8 beta 2 from here (32 bit) or from here (64 bit), install it and you will be able to do what i recommended in the previous post.
