which version are you using?

the older version does not have HSI and you have to manually add it yourself.

i have upgradeed to 7.2 and use TWS 920

but still no symbol, and i also discover another problem when using mc with my home computer

after i send order to IB through chart trader, e.g. buying order, there aren't any active order info on the chart.

i have check that i've already enable showing active order on chart function.

as i don't have these problems in all other computer i own, i would like to have a clean install see whether the problem can be solved.

is that i just uninstall the program, delete the MC folder in "program files", and install again should make it an clean install?

thanks a lot.

Hello John.
To make a clean installation you need to delete the Multicharts folder from C:\ProgramData\TS Support.
Please keep in mind that it will erase all your user data (studies and databases).
Please make a clean installation of MultiCharts and let us know if the problem is solved or not.
