Nicely done....many valuable fixes here.
However, why on earth would you do this:
"IQfeed: maximum length of a tick data request is now limited to 1 day."

What was the rationale behind incorporating that limitation ?

It's truly irrational this "new" limit
If I stay away for a week I can't reload and fill the data for the period I was away, even if I pay for them through 3 months back of historical data to IQfeed. Why this limitation ?

supposedly it's an improvement - i will wait and see if this is true. i have advised them that the release notes need to be changed because they clearly say only 1 day of tick data will be allowed.

Dear users,

The available amount of IQfeed historical data did not change. What’s new describes the improvement in the way we request the data from the provider.
Earlier the length of tick data requests was equal to several days. Now we are able to make the requests of 1-day length. Consequently, the number of requests increased. It means the data connection became more stable. Earlier, IQfeed could stop responding to a long data request at some point and data loading stopped without any error.

Thanks for the clarification Svetlana. However, perhaps the wording needs to change or to be enhanced a bit in the release notes.

Thank you Svetlana for letting us know. It explains why I sometimes see missing tick data when I download a whole week of data across 4 instruments together. I've reduced it to one instrument at a time and the issue never came back. This new feature will make sure the issue never arises again.

Dear Multichart, kindly

1: ad a possibility to "tag" symbols in quotemanager etc, so we are able to differentiate/subdivide for example SP500, SP100, NASDAQ100, SP500DELISTED/LISTED, SP500LISTED, Etc etc,
As of now its impossible to keep any form of structure.

One could use exchange names to keep a decent structure, but then mapping would become an issue, since to auto map bulk amount of stock symbols with IB correctly , as i understand it they need to be placed as SMART exchange, so to use exchange names as a structure is not an option.

2: Please ad a possibility to "select bulk of symbols" (perhaps already in QM) and then map all chosen symbols to same exchanges with IB.
For example this would help hugely when dealing with stocks and IB mapping since all would use the same SMART, NYSE, NASDAQ, etc etc etc.

3: be able to change/chose data provider for selected symbols all together in portofolio trader, and not just one by one. (reason is you perhaps need to deal with hundreds or thousands of symbols and changing one by one is not optimal or even viable)

As it is now, its very difficult to keep a proper structure for stocks in database (since when keeping a database for stocks you need to be able to to subdivide symbols, and not just name of exchange is important) and dealing with these symbols troughout MC, such as in portofolio trader be able to chose all symbols tagged with "NASDAQ100listed"

I am sure that these very very small changes could help us traders a lot, and help solving the known issue with dealing with bulk mapping and structure stock symbols in MC.

Thanks

Now when you import data from QMD file the datas are not equal.

I run MC R2 on realtime on laptop 1, i export data and workspace at end of day to laptop 2 , NOW chart are not same !

first i though renko with phantom bar, but first better to control data with QM.

on laptop 1

on laptop 2


Then charts are different now !

I always delete symbol before import datas on laptop 2.

I use MC 14R2 on both laptops.

can't give you export file, 2.3 Mo then link to this file will expire in 7 days...

barstatus(x)=0 is always not reliable at 100%.

This code is working at 100% on Renko charts and on data1, data2, data3 ...
just my 2 cts

Hello Smoky,

Database on your first laptop might have been damaged.

1. Please back up data on your first laptop.
2. Export the problematic symbol’s data in .qmd format.
3. Remove or rename the symbol.
4. Import back .qmd data you exported before.

If that doesn’t help, please come to the live chat Monday-Friday from 5:30 AM till 1:00 PM ET so that we could connect to your computer remotely and help you.

What happens if you use the ASCII format instead of QMD ?

I don't know i prefer to use QMD to keep all setup and format.

Hello,

Something a bit annoying in MC 14 when using Historical Download scheduler: it pops up 1 or 2 notification windows when done. We are forced to click on them in order to get rif of them, but then we have another window (log text or backup folder) that needs to get manually closed.



I scheduled a daily routine to update my datas, and everyday I unnecessarily have to click 4 times. Please make these notification an option, or integrate them to Windows notifiaction (so we can just ignore them).

Hello Mydesign,

We're planning to add this option in one of the future releases.
Thank you for your patience!

Always and always the same with MC popup messages! please make a "silence MODE" and use WIN10 notifications ...

No difficult to do and it's not take too much time to your dev team, intercept all of them and write them in the LOG files...




and add "Popup" Category

Dear Kate, when could we expect a new version release of 14 ?
I have not yet felt secure enough to update from 12 to 14, but hopefully in next release you will have been able to fix
the most concerning issues reported so far by multiple users, such as high usage of pc resources, freezing of charts, data loss, no updates etc.

Anyway, any date in the road map for a new release?

Cheers

Hello Salzburg,

We are working on it, but I'm afraid there's no ETA yet.

Once "regular optimization" has been run, if you switch to format objects and modify inputs, those inputs are not taken in the "current value" field of the optimization settings window once you get back to it.

This is a long time bug that has been always there (I already reported it). You'd rather get used to it and double check all your parameters before going for an optimization

Hello,

Thank you for the information. We have forwarded it to the developers. They will think how to improve it in one of the future versions.
