Chart Alerts and Candles
I really like this platform and it works with Oanda a huge plus. I would definitely like to see the ability for Chart alerts or be able to program against items on the chart. So for instance if the close of todays candle is lower than previous that type of stuff. So for now still very limited but I really like it.

Dear Steve Brown
I really like seeing you being interested in PTMC platform! Indeed PTMC team is planing to implement such type of alerts with advanced setups in the short future. So please stay tuned!
However for now, such issues could be done programmatically by using API in developing custom indicators, strategy or plug-in. For instance :
Instrument inst;
public override void Init()
{
inst = Instruments.Current;
}
public
override void OnQuote()
{
if
(inst.Close!=0&&inst.Close<inst.PrevClose)
Alert("Kaboom!
today's close price is lower than yesterday's");
else if
(inst.Close!=0&&inst.Close>inst.PrevClose)
Alert("Kaboom!
today's close price is higher than yesterday's");
}
methods above are generated by default via AlgoStudio (a developing tool, which is coming in a box with terminal).
There are plenty useful features in documentation as well. Please check them at demand. PTMC with API by nature is very flexible tool with ability to unleash limitations. Cheers!
