Well ... sorry to hear that ...

I've used Medved Trader for years and have no (spelled 0) interest in using anything else. I am also running Windows 7 on my computer, and have no interest in upgrading that -- if it's not broken, there's nothing to fix; and if I don't leave it alone, I might break it.

As I have MT set up, MT updates are installed automatically and the only way I can tell that is by checking the current version's serial number.

That said, I don't know what caused my "recent problem" with MT; but whatever it was, all my windows (historical and intraday charts and options windows) suddenly had semi-transparent borders (which really annoyed me since the screensaver background image showed through every MT window border). Very annoying! I really wanted solid borders but I couldn't figure out how to do that. So I called MT but they seemed to have little interest in helping me, so they left me dangling (not a great business strategy!).

So I complained to a friend of mine as he might know what I am doing wrong in terms of border selection. He might be able to fix my display problem because when he has a problem with anything he spares no expense to solve that problem. So he invited himself up for a visit (I live way out in the country about an hour away) and he brought along a book that is about four inches thick. He knew nothing about Medved Trader, but he took a half-minute look in his book then sat down at the computer and it only took him about another 30-seconds to fix the problem. Before my friend came up I spent a few hours on it and got nowhere.

All that behind me now, I still wonder how MT managed to change border transparency without my assistance.

Jerry, Need help. Still running Win 7 and tried downloading the latest version of Medved. It keeps telling me I need .Net Framework 4.7.2. However, it will not update the .Net framework. Now I every time I attempt to start Medved is says I need the Net Framework and no matter if I say Yes or No I cannot start the program.
Thanks, Jeff

Man o man. I sweated that for 9 months. Thanks for letting me know.

[JLS]

No, you don't need to be concerned.

I accidentally sent it to the wrong address.

Sorry for disturbing you.

Will Fidelity be adding a data feed and better interaction with Medved Trader?

Which brokerages do work well with the platform?

[farooq]

Complete restart of the computer fixed the problem.

[farooq]

System not updating stuck on Fridays Quotes.

[Steady_T]

Is there a way to overlay one chart on top of another?

[farooq]

There is issue in charting it has phantom prices on candles and it is every day and on most charts if it is gap opening. Look at TNA, F, SPY those prices never touched but candles shows it and in next candle also. My Data vendor is TD. It affect all technical aspects. Could you please look in it.

[Steady_T]

It appears that the Medved website is down. Anyone else seeing this issue?

[Steady_T]

I am unable to login in to TDA with Medved this morning. I have reentered the login id and PW to no avail. I loaded Edge browser and was able to login with Edge on that same computer. Medved was working fine yesterday.

Any thoughts?

[farooq]

Could you please guide me how I could have a scan on TA base.
Like Stock crossing MA 5/8 cross over up word or down word on daily and 30 min charts.
Could they be included in next update.
TIA.

[Steady_T]

I just searched the help files for VWAP and got no hits.

Is there any plan to add VWAP to the LVL II screen or anywhere else in MT?

Thanks

[mypenneys]

Jerry when I open the Raw Data Window I can't see the Ticker Symbols because of the transparency. No matter what colors I select can you make the Ticker Symbol Larger and do away with transparency and allow to have a white background and a bold select for the Black Symbol. I'm looking at a bunch of raw data windows and can't read what stock I'm looking at. Are we trying to make things USABLE HERE or FANCY.

[Jerry Medved]

All chart templates are just files. I think you mean the "History" that is shown in the dropdown under the load chart templates options. don't know of any particular reason that would get cleared unless your settings got corrupted, but if you select the file from the Open File Dialog, that will add it back to the history list

[golf nut]

Just noticed my saved chart templates are gone. When I have chart up and go to load template it opens up Docs, Medved Trader, with a Backup File Folder and a Medved Trader File Folder. Need help. Jeff

[Jerry Medved]

Yahoo stuff changed - the location that we were getting the news from no longer works, or more accurately, just returns headlines up to end of August. We changed it so MT does not scan for news from Yahoo, but does retrieve it if you open the news for a particular symbol

We also added CNBC news option if you get the beta version

[stevo51]

the yahoo news bulbs things stopped working on the 29th any reason for that thnx much

[Jerry Medved]

sorry for the late reply. That is a BS message from Chrome any time someone tries to download an EXE. Ignore it.

[Steady_T]

Jerry, when I try to download Medved I get a message that says MTsetup.exe can't be downloaded securely.

What is that about? Do I need to be concerned about that?

Thanks for update.

E*Trade - I just posted an update on the situation here:
https://forums.medvedtrader.com/topic/3573-etrade-quotes-update

[Jerry Medved]

No, charts are always topmost or basically at the same level as the Level II and raw data as far as on-top priority. Windows does not give us very granular control over that.

[farooq]

From last night it is giving message on Etrade login
"Etrade US faulted Market data will not update"
it does login for 30 second or so and than this happen and data stops.
TIA

Jerry is there a way to pin the level 2 screen and the Raw Data Screen to the Front of my intra day chart so every time I click on anything on the chart my raw data and level 2 don't end up behind my chart. Thank You

[mypenneys]

Thanks Jerry I will definitely try that. I will create a Alert with the symbol RVVTH and News Selected and leave both boxes empty.

[Jerry Medved]

I see, when setting up the news in your case, you can just specify that the alert is for RVVT symbol. Then, don't put anything in the filter for the SOURCE. You don't care about that. If you want to only be alerted for news that have particular keywords in the headline, then put that into the HEADLINE filter. Otherwise, if you want to be alerted for every news headline on RVVT, leave the headline filter blank as well.

NOTE: you will want to also set it so the alert is automatically cleared after X seconds. Otherwise, if the alert triggers and not cleared, it will not trigger again if another headline comes in

[mypenneys]

I know about Bulb that pops up on the portfolio that I understand I use yahoo for the source there. I don't sit in front of the computer all day. I would like to know that I can have it sent to my phone so I can trade on News if need be. I have pivot points set up and Price Moving up or Down set up all trigger nicely to my Phone as Text Message. But I'm anticipating news on RVVT when they announce Clinical Trials for COVID 19. any news on this stock and it's moves. So knowing I use Yahoo for my news. Original question would I put the symbol in the first box and Just Yahoo in the second box. Since I don't know what news source it's going to come from.

[Jerry Medved]

if you just want news, you don't need to setup alerts. Just turn on news on SETTINGS/DATA SOURCES/NEWS - for whatever sources you have access to. MT will automatically get the news and will show a bulb next to a symbol when it gets new news.

The alerts mechanism is for triggering other alerts on a subset of the news items. You don't have to specify the source unless you want the alert to only be triggered on news coming from a particular source. You can see the text of the source column on any news window.

[mypenneys]

So Jerry if I want News on RVVTF. I would put that Symbol in the Headlin and Source for info would I put Yahoo.com. Or Just Yahoo

[Jerry Medved]

As far as security software, if you are using Windows Defender, refer to the following URL for instructions:
https://medvedtrader.com/wd

news alert - headline and source filters let you specify when you want the alert to trigger. So for example, if you put in "split" into headline, then it will only trigger for headlines that have the word split in them

[mypenneys]

How do you set up NEWS ALERTS
Do I have to enter info into
HEADLINE FILTER and SOURCE FILTER
And how to set time so I get News Just hitting the Wire
Anyone can answer thank you
Also my Medved needs to have script put in because of virus software doesn't like Medved
Can some one show me how or where to put the script into windows 10
Thanks. I have a investorshub account for private messages also

[farooq]

Thank you so much.

[Jerry Medved]

go to SETTINGS / CHARTS / COLOR SETS. Click on SUNNY and then click COPY button on top.

Now modify the copied color set - rename it, and change the candle up/down colors to whatever you want.

on the chart, switch the color set to your new color set.

[farooq]

Thanks I figured out where was my mistake. Your post was help full.
Now second Question if run a Heiken Ashi candle chart in Sunny color scheme could I make black candles in Green?
Could I change colors of the candles?
TIA.

[Jerry Medved]

you should be able to get it with just a simple Paintbar. Here is what the advanced looks like:

if (EMA_Line(3).Crosses(EMA_Line2(8), 0))
{
SetColorAndShape("Crossed", PBShape.Default, Color.White);
}

Jerry I want a Paintbar where it Shows EMA 3 and 8 crossover over the chart, I tried but it only shows up I want it show when it cross down also.
Thank you.

[Jerry Medved]

farooq, not really sure what it is that you want the paintbar to do.

[farooq]

Is there a paintbar script already in Library with moving crossover which can show result on chart like up or down arrow?
I try to edit but it does not show on chart.
Could you help Please?

[Jerry Medved]

gap - no way to tell without seeing your data.

[farooq]

Why etrade feed does not show gap in intra day chart?
They show it on Historical.

[farooq]

Solved it by resetting to default than change template.

[farooq]

My TQQQ chart is messed up, For one day chart it is showing 70 to 37 price range which making candles not noticeable. I clear the data, cut the symbol. add the symbol but it does not solve problem. all other charts are fine.
Any help is appreciated.

[farooq]

TY Jerry, always on top of the problem.
Spiral helping a lot.

[Jerry Medved]

E*Trade connection update - I found that their DNS for the streaming server returns 2 of 4 different IPs. Only 1 or 2 of them fail. I put in reconnect logic that tries other IPs. Seems to fix the issue.

Get the latest update

[farooq]

Thanks.

[Jerry Medved]

the issue with E*Trade is not login. Basically, it is the connection to their streaming server. When you see that, MT is unable to make the connection. We have seen it a lot over the last couple weeks :(
