When I try to plot a Compare to Symbol indicator using Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) it won't plot past Sept 2009, after that it's a straight line at Zero. When I try the S&P 500 Index ($SPX.X) it plots to July 15, 2013 and then straight lines at Zero. Using the Dow Industrials the plot also stops...

Think of Swim doesn't seem to have a separate volume bar study, one where you can change the colors of the bars, or their thickness. All I've found is the ability to have volume bars either in a sub-graph, or in what they call "over-lapped" mode. Over-lapped just means that the bars show up on...

Will the Event data be posted on the charts?

I can also confirm that BigCharts just stopped working for backfill. Too bad, I've used it for years with few problems. Jerry, when you're setting up MT I hope you'll keep an eye out for data feeds that include more esoteric sentiment indicators such as NYSE 52 Week New Highs and NYSE 52...

Trader mk, If you can't fix it, save everything and re-install QT. That has saved me many times.

hey billyjoerob, I'm trying to use blocksite but can't find any lists of good websites to block (for the purpose of speeding up Firefox). Where did you get the names that you posted, and are there any blacklists available to be imported into blocksite?

I just pulled up earnings.com, it's still there but seems to have segued into the "new" earnings.com . It still has a lot of information, but I don't see what I was originally looking for...the % comparison of this quarter's earnings to those one year previous.

The portfolio/watchlist windows keep their original size after I minimize them and then open then again...they don't go to maximize size automatically. But I was just trying again with the chart windows, and when I minimize a chart window that was in a Restore Down (non-maximized) size...and...

I seem to have the maximize problem on two different Win2000 computers with QT, so maybe it's an OS problem. It occurs when I minimize a Restore Down (not maximized) chart. Then when I open the minimized chart again, it goes to a maximized size. Since I usually have only intraday charts in a...

Thanks Chartie, I thought I had looked everywhere but missed that Misc section. That fixed the problem. I wonder if you know how to make the charts default to the not-maximized size (aka Restore Down). Every time after I minimize a chart, when I bring it back up it goes to full screen...

I just made a new installation of QT, trying to figure out a problem that was causing crashes all the time. I've applied the patch bringing it up to 3.9.8a and 60 days backfill. So far everything seems to be working. I've only imported the portfolio file from the crashing installation. But...

If you have a low cost data service (IB, or TD Ameritrade) you can use Quotetracker and easily create multiple watchlists(also called portfolios). But you can't scan and do much sorting with them. When the new Medved Trader is released, hopefully it will have more scanning and sorting...

Jerry...in looking at the log file, is it always the last line that would/might be connected to a QT crash? Or could it be any line within a certain time period. John

Hi Jerry...could you refresh my memory on exactly how to start up QT in LOG mode. QT is still locking up 5-10 times a day, I've tried deleting (or renaming) SNEWS.DMP and SDATA.DMP and even replacing stocks.exe (3.9.8a) with a newly downloaded version, but still have the problem. It usually...

Hi Jerry...could you help me with this problem: Every so many months QT will start locking up or crashing on me. In the past I think I've deleted certain files and the problem has corrected itself. But it's been long enough now that I don't remember what I did exactly. Are there certain QT...

I actually hadn't heard of earnings.com before this thread. Are you saying that they have a section that shows earnings for the most recent 4 quarters compared to one year ago? I checked the link you included but it only showed the current quarter earnings and compared them to the actual...

Are there any earnings websites that show the nearest 4 quarters and their %change from one year ago?

I also had the problem when I first added the patch, only had 20 or so days on my intraday charts. The real problem was IB which limits the amount of backfill, so I couldn't just fill in the 60 slots I now had available. I had to accumulate data, without clearing it, and now I have 60 days on...

Here's one more report of success with the new patch...both IB and TDAmeritrade backfills working again. And with the bonus that market holidays are updated to beginning of next year. Good job, mystery person!

Even more effective would be a petition with 100 or more QT users signing. That might catch the CEO's eye. Up to this point it's only scattered individuals complaining, easy to dismiss from a financial point of view. Especially since the complaints seems to go no further than the tech support...
