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
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

sorry for the late reply. That is a BS message from Chrome any time someone tries to download an EXE. Ignore it.
E*Trade - I just posted an update on the situation here:
https://forums.medvedtrader.com/topic/3573-etrade-quotes-update
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.
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
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.
FYI - Medved Trader was working fine with TD Ameritrade accounts all week, both for market data and trading. TDA's issues were with TOS specifically and did not impact people using MT to access their accounts.
No need to switch brokers. Just install MT and select TD Ameritrade and you should be good to go. NOTE: Medved Trader also works with other brokers so you can trade multiple accounts in the same platform at the same time :)

As far as security software, if you are using Windows Defender, refer to the following URL for instructions:

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
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.
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);
}

farooq, not really sure what it is that you want the paintbar to do.
gap - no way to tell without seeing your data.
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
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 :(
Added spiral as an annotation (in the Draw tab of the chart's ribbon menu). Will be in next beta.
The spiral is drawn so that for every 360 degrees the radius increases by the Fib number - 1.618034. Is that what you wanted?
blocking Benzinga on news - no, not at this time
Multiple charts for the same symbol - sure, just click the NEW CHART button on the MAIN tab of the 1st charts toolbar
sorry for the delay - E*Trade Login - get the beta version:
https://medvedtrader.com/beta
Just added #Options trading for #Robinhood !!! Just updated for all setups. Select FILE/HELP => Check for Updates and let MT update all files, and then restart MT.
https://medvedtrader.com/robinhood
Spread the word!
click on the little gear icon on the upper right corner of the trace box. Uncheck the "Always Show" option
Farooq, the templates are stored as files, so there are no limits. You can rename files outside of MT. note that the stuff you see in the dropdown list for load/save template is just a history of the last few templates that you have used. you are not restricted to those.
to open a 2nd chart for the same symbol, click on the NEW CHART button on the MAIN tab of the chart's toolbar. Once open, you can change it independent of the first chart
TOS uses a different datafeed. Will let them know.
52 week low - was not aware. Can you give me an example? I can report the issue to them
No, don't have news display on Level II
oops, actually gave you wrong folder...
reinstall won't do anything since that does not touch the user files.
in MT, select FILE / HELP => About Medved Trader.
On the ABOUT screen, you will see a number of links to folders that MT uses. Click on the one labeled "ROAMING". that will open the folder.
Leave that folder open and close MT
Once MT is closed, just delete all files in that open folder. Next time you start MT, it should start as if new. all settings will be erased. Is that what you want?
you can close MT and delete all files in:
C:\Users\<Your Windows Login Here>\AppData\Local\2GK\Medved Trader
focus - just click on it so the raw data window is the one in front. Then, hit CTRL+Home keys. that should put it at the top. does it work? does it stay at the top
that should be automatic IF the focus is on the top row. Click on raw data. then hit CTRL + HOME keys
why win 7? update it to win 10 as soon as you get it.
2G is really too low to do anything. You should consider updating the computer. Can't really tell you why you would have a 2 min slowdown at open other than high volume of quotes starting at that time. if it continues, you can send us the log and we can check it out. FILE / HELP => Send Settings/Log to support.
1) How much memory do you have?
2) do you start MT yourself by clicking on an icon, or do you have Windows Task Scheduler start it? this might seem like a trivial question, but it actually has big performance implications
3) what datafeed are you using?
4) Do you have a lot of charts open? One thing that happens right at 9:30 is that the charts have to be fully redrawn to hide premarket data if the extended hours setting is set to anything other than ALWAYS or NEVER.
Hm, it should remember it for the window. are you opening it in a different window?
You can right click on the caption of the window and do "Set as default for all" but note that this will reset ALL Account View windows with the current settings for all tabs, so make sure they are all setthe way you want htem.
Order Date
As for Fills, there is a separate Fill Date column. Also can be made wider
already there. Just make the column wider
Ok, so click on MAIN. Clear button is on there
Clear Data - if you have the chart toolbar hidden, open it (can hit F11). On the MAIN tab you should find the clear button
deleting it does nothing at all. open the chart on it, then select the option to clear the data. Does that work?
there was an issue with TD Ameritrade data earlier this morning but it seems OK as of 8 AM Eastern. Are you still having a problem?
