Issues with new version 1.0.53
Issues with the drawings in the new version of ProTrader (v1.0.53):
1. Sometimes the white blobs that mark the start and end of drawings stay on the chart, no matter what you do.
2. The white blobs appear automatically when a new candle is printed. Also, they appear once you load the workspace.
3. I now have highlighted boxes around all the drawing nubmers. This obscures the candles on the chart. Is there a way to get rid of this highlighting?
4. I would still like to see the start and end point lines of Fibonacci retracements and expansions. In the new version, they only appear once you hover over the lines. Sometimes you hover over the lines and they never appear!
Can you please let me know if there are specific settings where I can change this behaviour?
Please see the attached chart below.
Regards.
Thanks.
Also, the combination of the big white blob + the new "hand" cursor obscure the candle's end points when you want to place the drawings. This might be fine if you're zoomed in, but if you're zoomed out far enough, you will have a tough time trying to figure out where to start / end the drawings.
The previous versions of the program were much clearer.
Regards.
Here is a list of further issues:
1. Sometimes the program locks onto a chart object and doesn't let go - even though there are no white blobs to be seen. Right-clicking anywhere on the chart will keep bringing up the context menu for that particular chart item. You won't ever get back the context menu for the chart itself.
2. More likely than not, you won't be able to find Fibonacci Expansion / Retracement start / end points even if you hover over the lines or anywhere else on the chart. The only way to locate it is through the object manager.
3. If you have a grid and you initially load the workspace, all the charts will show their "magnifier glass" thing that you normally get when you hover on the horizontal scroll bar. You have to physically visit each chart in the grid to get rid of them.
I will post more issues as and when I discover them.
Regards.
Hello, AminderG!
We want to quick fix problems, but we can't reproduce some of your bug. Do you have Teamviewer? We would like to look at the problems online.

Hi, AminderG
Thank you for the feedback, glad to get it so fast.
Concerning the 3d point: going to modify drawing settings with highlight coloring.

4. I would still like to see the start and end point lines of Fibonacci retracements and expansions. In the new version, they only appear once you hover over the lines. Sometimes you hover over the lines and they never appear!
The behavior should be next: you draw the fib retracement specifying start and end points (you observe them in real time mode). After appearing on the chart: if you would like to see them at some moment, simply select a drawing by left click.
Is it working this way?

Hi,
I've used join.me in the past. We can do it that way if you like.
Regards.

Hi,
As explained earlier, sometimes you hover over those drawings and the start/end drawings never appear, even if you click on them. Plus I would like to see those lines on the chart regardless as they give me a visual indication as to where I drew the Fibonacci Retracements and Expansions.
I think things were much clearer in the older version. I find these new changes as step backwards to the otherwise a wonderful charting / trading package.
Regards.
Finally installed the latest version (1.0.100). Found the following issues with it:
1. The new version should have taken into account the current text settings and retained those. It was tediously painful to have to go to my setup of 300+ charts with many objects per chart to sort out the text background, colour and font sizes individually. It wans't fun! I'm sure there are better ways to announce new and exciting features to the existing user base than to enforce it upon them. NOTE: If anybody else is in this situation then the quicker way to do this would be by going to the object manager for each chart rather than double-clicking on each chart object separately.
2. Should be able to double click on text labels to bring up the property dialog box.
3. If the Fibonacci retracement's start and end point candle are the same then the horizontal lines representing different Fibonacci levels disappear. This problem has been carried over from the previous versions.
4. If the Fibonacci expansion's second point and end point candle are the same then the horizontal lines representing different Fibonacci levels disappear. This problem has been carried over from the previous versions.
5. As with the workspace file, the user should be allowed to save the .ini file (which contains all the drawings) without having to close the application first. The reason for it is this. If there are two different instances of ProTrader running on the machine and you create some drawings in the first application and then close the first application followed a short while later by the second application then the ini file updated (automatically) by the first application will be lost and along with it all the drawings.
6. I have requested this in the past on another thread. I would still love to see a "refresh all" button on the grids. All too often the last few candles on a given chart go out of sync. You then have to visit all the charts in the grid separately to refresh them. This might happen if for instance you put the computer to sleep overnight or if you load a new symbol into the grid that you haven't looked at for a while or for no apparent reason whatsoever.
Other than the above issues, everything looks pretty good.
Regards.
Also please re-introduce the small blue mini-blob while drawing / modifying the objects as it used to serve as an indicator when it latched onto the highs and lows of candles. Currently, with the cross-hair there is no way of telling where the start / end points are going to be.
Regards.
