Some users report when the BC is minimised a problem can happen.  We are having trouble duplicating in the office.

 

Re Metastock - can you explain more as you may have mentioend to someone else.

1. what version are you running
2. did it start with the new version?

3. can you send a screen capture to brendonl@weblink.com.au

thanks Brendon,

re Metastock Data:  I get hourly updates during the day, but to get BC to read the data after getting the update, I have to close BC, then Re-open it. Whilst this works OK (ignoring the freezing bit), it's just fiddly more than anything else.

What would be good if there was an option to force BC to re-read the Metastock data, and therfore re-fresh the charts, without having to close, then open BC.


RE the Template issue, the problem only started happening with the new version. Screen captures on the way!

Also forgot to say thanks for the product - great job.

Its all to easy to advise whats wrong, but they all generally fall into the 'icing' category.

Great product and support! Thanks.

Can you please send me the templates you are using as I can reproduce - brendonl@weblink.com.au

Re:the freeze problem. I have this occasionally too. I am on dial-up and have found that when I try to close BC via the topright X while connected to the net it sometimes freezes. If I close the net connection it then shuts down straight away?? But it does seem worse the longer BC is active.

Previously I had the "Save different Intellichart for each time period" checked but  "Use IntelliChart" unchecked. Then after seeing Brendon's reply I thought maybe this has something to do with Intellicharts. So I unchecked "Save different Intellichart for each time period". Then problem solved!

It seems Intellichart still has some influence unless you uncheck both buttons.

 

Have fixed in the next release 3.2.1 due soon.

Since updating Bullcharts, I can't edit an existing Tradesim code. 

The backtest routine still runs OK, but if I now try to edit, an error occurs saying that the "entrytrigger" parameter (referenced in the exit tab for the purpose of defining a trailing stop loss), is unrecognised in the exit tab.  This occurs even if no actual change is made when in edit mode.

What's the deal here?
