Charts look terrible when zoomed out

several · Tue, 11 Jun 2024 23:24:37 +0000

There comes a point when zooming out where my chart goes from looking like a chart that’s easy to read and understand to looking like crap. When you reach this point it’s a huge jump and it’s probably the thing I dislike most about this software. See screenshot, this is the same chart simply zoomed out 0.01% more on the bottom one. Other apps manage to handle zooming out much much better(ie trading view, ninjatrader), I wonder why PRT cannot figure it out.

buttons not always registering clicks

I assume if you click again on the same button (so click twice) then it will register?

Maybe even wait 500 milliseconds between clicks?? 😉
I know the video was a demo to show non registering of clicking, but maybe you also click nearly that fast in repetition in real usage?

In normal usage I’m not clicking back and forward between the buttons obviously. I move my mouse to the button and click once just like any other button in any app or any website the same way I’ve done for 30 years. I’m using it not different to than I use tabs in safari for example. Sometimes the first click will register sometimes it won’t, it’s random. The 2nd and 3rd clicks on the same button also don’t always register but the percentage is higher.

The only way to guarantee it working 100% of the time is to move my mouse over the button slowly, wait, then press it slowly. But this is not normal. Other buttons in the app work normally, toolbar buttons, trading buttons for example so it’s difficult to change one’s normal computing behaviour to remember pause before pressing a button.

I agree, I adopt the above method for the red cross alongside an open manual trade when I want to close the trade, but it is frustrating as price runs away while I am waiting for the button to work!

This is addressed to the original poster (“several”) and also to the developers of PRTv12.

You are correct, several. But it’s not only other apps that can handle zooming out on a chart without this loss of OHLC information: there was no problem whatsoever in PRTv10.3.

The developers either do not understand what they are doing or, if they do, they are motivated by a desire to make life more difficult for their trading customers and, by restricting the trader’s access to information in this way, easier for the brokers to take advantage of them.

I’m really surprised that traders who use PRT are not up in arms about this.

So you signed up to express your concerns about this ?
Can you please show how this looks like in V10.3 ? … I forgot by now.
Thank you !

Yes, I did.

I’ve attached files labelled appropriately.

I’m sure anyone can see what I mean.

I must admit than I can only agree with you.
Thank you for the effort.
