4:27 pm:*** LS_Bill has joined us
4:35 pm:*** Cliff has joined us
4:43 pm:<Cliff> I'm seeing nothing here at all beyond 437; am I doing something wrong?
4:44 pm:<Cliff> I do see a message at 437 saying MOTD file is missing
4:45 pm:<fcat> you are Cliff
4:46 pm:<fcat> you are here I mean
4:46 pm:<fcat> Cliff
4:46 pm:<Cliff> Yes, I'm Cliff
4:46 pm:<fcat> hehe
4:47 pm:<LS_Bill> I'm here, chad's here, just waiting for questions :-)
4:47 pm:<Cliff> Slow day :^)
4:48 pm:<fcat> I got a question Bill
4:48 pm:<fcat> I think you know what it is already
4:48 pm:<Cliff> Chad, any thoughts on 1) vol on up/down tick as indicator and 2) trendline approaches/touches (vs. breaches)?
4:49 pm:<Cliff> that should have been alerts on approaches/touches
4:49 pm:<LS_Chad> Cliff...seperating VB by up/down ticks...coming in 8.6.2
4:50 pm:<LS_Chad> nothing done regarding approaching a line
4:50 pm:<LS_Bill> we're working on finalizing 8.6.2 fcat, I made a change in the way IRT handles session open housekeeping, that I hope will solve your issue
4:50 pm:<Cliff> Bravo! And thank you.

4:50 pm:<Cliff> Chad, have you been observing VB in uptick/downtick mode
4:51 pm:<LS_Chad> http://www.charthub.com/images/2007/01/30/Add_Indicator_Volume_Breakdown_2.png
4:51 pm:<LS_Chad> no
4:51 pm:<LS_Chad> but it's there if you want to ;)
4:51 pm:<fcat> sweet Bill
4:51 pm:<fcat> thanks
4:51 pm:<fcat> will give it a go
4:51 pm:<LS_Chad> I did briefly...seems to line up with bid/ask volume pretty closely
4:52 pm:<LS_Bill> fcat, I'm playing darts trying to solve this problem, I'm on the right track I think, but since I cannot easily make this happen in my environment, we'll have to see
4:52 pm:<LS_Bill> been through this before and the problem's still with us
4:53 pm:<fcat> understand Bill
4:53 pm:<fcat> I know it must be a tricky bugger
4:53 pm:<Cliff> Chad, I assume that if a trade is on a 0 tick (neither up or down) it takes on the character of the last trade that was either up or down. Is this correct?
4:53 pm:<LS_Chad> yes
4:53 pm:<fcat> or you would have got it already
4:54 pm:<Cliff> Thanks, Chad
4:55 pm:<Cliff> How about trendline alerts for approaches, touches; seems to me that trends reverse at trendlines as much as they continue and would love to have this alerting ability. Is this too much work though?
4:55 pm:<LS_Chad> any trade that comes in on or following an upticks is buy volume
4:56 pm:<Cliff> or uptick in the language of the new indicator I assume
4:57 pm:<Cliff> i.e., "uptick" volume
4:57 pm:<LS_Chad> I just consider it buy volume either way
4:57 pm:<Cliff> make that "Up Tick" volume to be precise
4:57 pm:<Cliff> I'm with you
4:57 pm:<fcat> fyi Bill...setting tick retention to one day has no effect
4:57 pm:<LS_Chad> buy volume can be uptick vol or ask vol...depending on how you set it up
4:57 pm:<fcat> disabling ticks that exceed 1m no help either
4:58 pm:<Cliff> Thanks for the clarification here, Chad
4:58 pm:<Cliff> still keeping my fingers crossed on those trendlines
5 pm:*** diver has joined us
5 pm:<LS_Chad> well....if there were room in that window for more stuff (trendline prefs window)...would probably be done now
5 pm:<LS_Chad> but due to that....it becomes much more of a project
5:01 pm:<Cliff> right, I sent you an email with some placement suggestions, but maybe they're unfeasible
5:01 pm:<Cliff> Is adding a button to a dialog box that open another dialog box a programming headache
5:01 pm:<Cliff> if not, it occurs to me that that might solve the problem
5:01 pm:<Cliff> open should have been opens
5:02 pm:*** IRT_USER has joined us
5:03 pm:<diver> How do I get rid of the annoying message to upgrade my version every time a start IRT? I froze at V8.1.4, and can't upgrade!
5:05 pm:<LS_Bill> go to Setup: prefs: mail and internet and uncheck the check for upgrade box
5:06 pm:<diver> Thanks, I appreciate the info very much!
5:06 pm:*** IRT_User241 has joined us
5:08 pm:<IRT_User241> i thought i read where in irt you can have market profile with overnight next to day session
5:10 pm:*** Chad has joined us
5:10 pm:<IRT_User241> can you make mini profiles in irt 60 min profiles with vol poc indicated nothing else and have letters change every five minutes
5:11 pm:<LS_Chad> yes and yes
5:11 pm:<LS_Chad> for overnight vs day session MP chart, you'd setup the chart on 24 hr session....and set it up with "custom duration, 1020 minutes"
5:12 pm:<LS_Chad> for the 60 minutes per profile chart, you'd set it up with "custom duration: 60 minutes"...and setup "minutes per letter" to 5
5:13 pm:*** PD has joined us
5:15 pm:<IRT_User241> if i am a market delta user and wanted to switch to plain irt with market profile do i have to delete eveything or just put in new passcode
5:16 pm:*** Chad has left
5:16 pm:<LS_Bill> you can just move your data_f folder over to the investrt folder where I/RT is installed
5:17 pm:<IRT_User241> how do i do that
5:17 pm:<LS_Bill> everything will move over, with the exception of the Footprint charts, they will be there but will be disabled.
5:17 pm:<LS_Chad> yea...install I/RT....and with both MD & I/RT shut down, move data_f over
5:17 pm:<LS_Chad> then start up I/RT
5:17 pm:<LS_Chad> data_f folder inside of mktdlta or investrt folders
5:17 pm:<LS_Bill> use Windows Explorer, copy the mrkdelta/data_f folder over to investrt
5:17 pm:<IRT_User241> ok
5:18 pm:<IRT_User241> makes sense
5:18 pm:<LS_Chad> if you're futures trader, make sure to install the I/RT from www.linnsoft.com/futures
5:18 pm:<IRT_User241> i never use those footprint charts
5:26 pm:*** diver has left
5:27 pm:<PD> When do you expect to put the 8.6.2 beta release out?
5:27 pm:<LS_Chad> tomorrow probably
5:28 pm:<PD> ok, thanks, looking forward to it.
5:30 pm:<LS_Bill> there will not be a beta for 8.6.2
5:30 pm:<LS_Bill> however, we will have a prerelease version available before it is generally released
5:31 pm:<PD> ok, well, I'd like to try that one when it's available
5:31 pm:<LS_Bill> we generally do "betas" between major releases, e.g. between 8.5 and 8.6
5:32 pm:<LS_Bill> the we put out incremental revisions til 8.6 reaches a stopping point, then we might have some beta testing of 8.7 with major new features
5:32 pm:<PD> I see
5:32 pm:<LS_Bill> generally, incremental improvements go into revisions
5:32 pm:<LS_Bill> while major new projects usually kick off a new release number with beta testing
5:33 pm:<IRT_User241> what is new in 8.6.2
5:34 pm:<LS_Bill> well, chart sharing for mac users
5:34 pm:<LS_Bill> enhancements to market profile and volume break down indicator
5:35 pm:<LS_Bill> some improvements in chart saving and sharing
5:35 pm:<LS_Bill> new display format 40ths
5:35 pm:<LS_Bill> session statistics enhancement
5:36 pm:<LS_Bill> lots of incremental polishing and fixes
5:36 pm:<IRT_User241> ok
5:36 pm:<LS_Bill> chad figured out a way for IRT to run more effectively under 120 DPI mode under Windows
5:37 pm:<PD> yay
5:37 pm:<IRT_User241> well thanks for your help
5:37 pm:<LS_Bill> sure
