Anchor time when switching Timeframes

#1 Postby gilben » Mon Dec 09, 2013 4:05 am

I would like to suggest a feature for History and testing mode chart User interface.

the problem:
when switching timeframe price is auto scroll to the back or begining time.
this make it very hard to investigate specific price action of specific time while drilling down and up with time frames

The suggestion:
To allow anchor time, that when switching tf, the viewable time on chart window will be as user marked.

another solution will be to bookmark dates to chart for fast "goto"

or allowing navigating to specific time by typing

Metatrader solved this nicely.


Thank you

completely agree. this is a must have feature for easy navigation.

I am working for a trading forum and support your software, even use it in some trading videos. the only complain we had about your (otherwise excellent) software was the inability to lock a date while changing timeframe like gilben describes above and is a feature all MT4 users are accustomed to. so please take it into consideration for your next update.
thank you

I completely agree with what Gilben wrote. I wonder why this IMPORTANT feature has not been implemented yet in this otherwise top-notch program.

Please do it ASAP :-)

Best regards

Hi, Thanks Gilben for bringing this issue on the table. I fully support this request and would like to confirm that this navigation tool has a key importance for many traders I know.

Dear FT Guys! I liked your Tester very much (purchased already few copies and used it together with friends..), however at the same time we straggled a lot with timeframe navigation! It was so inconvenient that we are already using FT occasionnaly only... Sorry to say that, but this situation is caused exactly by lack of this basic navigation feature! . (It is available in MT4 so I trust it won't cause you a lot of problem and time to fix this so we all could enjoy it).

Thanks and best regards

Misiov

Hi, I'm also missing this feature. Lack of it is one of the biggest annoyances with ForexTester.

Please implement it. Thanks.

Can you give us an idea please of when V3 may be ready?

We want to use it extensively in our academy, and this missing feature would make it perfect for our needs
