  So that could matter. Thanks.

  I have one myself. I am not 100% sure, but it looks like all the AutoTrade orders don’t show their gain any more. And otherwise it is at least “often”.
  … Yeah, I have a video from Feb 2 where the gain shows. But I am fairly sure that this showing-without is from longer ago. So on and off ?
  Even better, the video shows both situations, I see now.

  This is what I see happening in V12, only IG (about my “Trailing” subject from a couple of posts back).

  First picture is 1 second to go before the next minute enters (TF = 1 minute).
  Second screenshot is at second #60 again, thus 1 second later. This is not the spread, as I have watched too many trade endings. It is also not the trailing making a too large jump so the price is crossed and you’d miss the happening because of that. Side note : this would always be visible in a frame by frame video.

  So it is as if the label is one minute behind; In this case we see the label disappear from second 59 to 60, but I have also seen occasions that it was a minute off the screen before the trade exited for real. I can not prove this latter (no screenshots, no videos).

  So we’ve moved to a Last Update of 9 Feb 2024.

  Because it’s mostly muscle memory and what you’re used to doing and seeing (perceiving, there you go Gra :P), the first thing I did was hit 200K units this morning and no go, very very ordinary GUI feedback, certainly not the granular resolution it’s been over the journey – any customised indicators are either off screen or lack-clarity-reference-anchors to give the gist of what they’re about, so in fact of less use.

  There’s a 2 day outage window scheduled in AUS, longest I’ve seen I think, is possible that it’s an error too (outage window size) but will see what comes of it.

  One  thing to note is,  going from 24 JAN to 06FEB last night (last v12 update) all but eliminated me blowing past 12GB ….. so good there and back to SOP since allocating 12GB to Java.

   

  All good here Gra, just taking the piss further on up, there’s millions of ways to skin a cat and sometimes we need to tweak workflows to get around limitations, mostly our own. For me PRT offered a better 1sec interaction and only very recently did it change. Interestingly enough tick was also very similar years back but I dropped that because of similar changes-discrepancies – that were never resolved. Perhaps it’s as PeterSt says, go Premium or go home.

  Irrespective of how many sec and units calculate out (200,000 ~>2days), there’s clear variation across indexes and others for example (as noted last night) by way of what is ‘viewable’, so there’s some issues underneath that  might be ‘resolved by PRT by ‘reducing’ what’s viewable across the board. If they begin to do this on granular TF they may as well become an EOD provider built for systems traders who need 2days 1sec and hose the rest but given they do 1million sec ticks across Premium perhaps there’s hope for Complete customers yet.

  I can’t say what’s come about and I can’t even reproduce components of my ticket where removing weekend data would increase 1sec data – ‘what’s totally viewable’. It was on-off as I was on a call with IG and so was asked to ticket it and that other’s had similar complaints, so not alone here just on my island home 🙂

  Cheers All and thanks for being a sounding board.

  Hi All again,

  What I was trying to get at was, you’d have a 5min chart, followed by a 1sec chart. Drawings-labels etc etc can be configured to display on an inferior timeframe, all good, no problem.

  Problem now it would seem is, viewable area on 1sec is reduced and the closest to what it once was, until the other week (maybe), is a 10sec chart expanded.

  Scroll wheel has very little effect on 1sec, it will blow up (zoom-in) the current session (which might be down to what Gra has said already) (with 200k units @1sec – 2.2days). But only last week, you could scroll-zoom out proper, see ALL days available. I have historical charts showing this but have included a basic form of what’s being seen now in the attachment.

  There’s no rocket science here, vanilla, vanilla. Apologies for not explaining better. Still not sure if I have.

   

  Attached is as close as an example as I can get when looking at yesterdays sessions for AUS 200.

  You used to be able to draw-lable-study on a 5m (or higher) and have those studies appear on lower TF and easily read-accessed by using 200k units on 1s and then zoom in-out with a scroll wheel.

  Scroll-wheel would zoom out the entire available dataset on 1sec.

  The scroll wheel won’t get you there now on 1sec – higher TF no problems. In TCP terms you’d say the queue or buffers are a bit shallow @1sec.

  So as a general gist you’d have a 1sec chart below a 5min and they’d – almost – marry, displaying the ‘drawn items’ across multi-TF and when you needed to adjust you’d simply zoom in/out which on 1sec isn’t doable now.

  Effectively you no longer see the 1s chart data plot on the chart (if you move to where the drawing is), close bar and scale prices are in play but not any ‘future’ bars (clear chart ahead)(as seen in the bottom chart).

  Thanks again everyone, hope this clears it up a little … fingers crossed 🙂

  Hmm … This is IB, same Feb 6 2024 version – main account. It unexpectedly starts up in 1m40. Really good enough.
  Detailed Report for 8301 (I suppose full) trades (fishy) presents itself in 2-3 seconds (more fishy) but no complaints really, unless it is about 400 trades less shown than with V11.
  Whether its contents makes sense – I have no clue because I never have seen it hence could not track it in 4 years or so of time. Glancing at it from of last January 4, it seems to be OK. But how to know what really happened with AutoTrading ? haha, that is really another kind of “problem”.

  Observing the individual Instruments, I can find only one which makes sense and seems to be fine. The other Instruments show rubbish. I can’t tell whether this is from AutoTrading failures, but at least partly it looks like that. In this time period from of Jan 4 I miss a lot of trades in individual instruments that I can see. Btw, this is a real issue all along with IB and AutoTrading Systems kicked out – that messes up statistics (Detailed Report content).
  Hey, when writing the text below, I now suddenly see that the content for MES (S&P 500 Micro) shows the trades from EUR/USD. Aha. Not good of course, but it explains the unrecognizable mess I see.

  For the totals (All Instruments) since Jan 4, only the “All Trades” selection makes sense. Differentiate that to Manual and Auto and it is mess. Tbh, I don’t think this is V12 – it is just a destroyed database; complaining about this for a full year now (countless tickets without any response). This is with IB – with IG all is fine.
  Otoh, why 400 trades less in V12 than in V11 ?

  The happy surprise is a novelty : the Order List now also shows the gain for the closed trades !! Yeah, this is great. Maybe I just did not look at that for a long time (Live Trades) ? I hope Backtesting does that too.

  Then finishing off this post : Look below. This is supposed to be the ES (S&P 500 Mini) and NQ (Nasdaq Mini), but the trades shown are from the respective Micro versions (the gains and times all match with those). To me that seems a smart failure. But hey, I wasn’t complaining about the relatively fast startup of the platform, right ?

  Not much to report back after maintenance window.

  DAX improved on 1sec, AUS 200 not on 1sec but tick yes.

  DAX however now will lose ‘compared’ instruments when flipping to – tick TF – going back to 1sec or greater will not restore compared items back – a reload will, so too – reselecting – the chart template if one has been saved. I’m thinking that maybe because I have NO Tick TF chart template all is reset – if so, why are other indicators still present and only the compared instruments that are missing.

  When reloading via Chart Template you are warned about whether you’d like to save or discard template changes (aka your saved template). Some instruments also won’t appear on the chart ‘panel of indicators” (but are charted), jumping into ‘Indicator Labels’, under ‘Labels and Watermark’ cfg will restore upon bouncing between ‘Always” and ‘Panel minimized”, yes, ‘allow tiles to use multiple lines’ is set. Resizing the window restores all as well.

  Unfortunately we’re now back to a situation of ‘inactive’ indicators flagging errors again as per very early days v12 for me.

  I am not sure what is going on and perhaps I’m hitting limits of what’s doable – I’d hate to think that using features available is creating this problem – features I’d never used before on v11 (granular TF chart templates and studies).

  Looks like there mightn’t be Tick price comparison or I’m lacking a bit of edu.

  edit:

  Just applied 1s chart template to Tick chart and ‘all’ came across.

  When adding price comparison to a Tick chart would flip the chart to 5min.

  That looks logical to me; we can’t compare ticks as such – but we can compare time periods.
  Flipping to 5 minutes or whatever (I know of situations that it becomes 1 day) could be annoying, but something has to be set when the user is not able to imply it (like in your given example). Setting it to 1 second should be doable, although not all can work with that granularity (I did not test it).
