*** Latest BullCharts Version?? ***

The latest version of BullCharts that is released for general use is version 4.4 (earlier in 2017). You can see some details on the BullCharts home page, and download the latest version from the downloads page (and enter your User name and Password for your BullCharts data plan access).

And there is currently some thought going into the next version, to incorporate some of the items from the general "wish list". If you have a suggestion that you consider to be really very important, then please let us know asap.

Hi,

Regarding your post to have some input for the next version:

I have sent it earlier to bullcharts team but thought to make it available here as well. 

Therefore pl. find my top 5-7 suggestions that I would appreciate to have in next version. (no specific order but I think alerts are really important.)

 1.  Adjustable alert input window so you can change size (up to full size). Be able to post images and weblinks in the window. Like in scan description.

       2.2. An extra field in alerts in a editable drop down list. This so you can attach your strategy name for the specific alert in a swift and easy way. Also available as column in the alert manager.

3.      3. Implement global paths as described earlier so you do not have to change in watch lists etc. when you change location of Metastock folder.

4.       4. Alerts: created date and what time e.g. 12:11 the alert was triggered. Better control of old alerts and to know when during the day the alert was triggered. This as I use snap shots and BC ongoing during the day. New column in alert manager,

5.       5. To be able to set an alerts on indicators and not only volume, open, high, low and close. This is useful when doing e.g pair trades so you can see when they are triggered in the Bollinger bands.

6. Connect a hotkey to run alerts for better access to frequently used scans.

7. To be able to drill down to 1 hour resolution (perfect entry resolution for daily) for Metastock would have been great. 

NEW: 8. Add value to BC MS users to be able to work also with fundamental information. This could be done having just an excel file/SQL accessing the info from. You should be able to access the info from scan/detailed watchlist. Think you could do this without interfering with eventual subscription services that you offer. Infact this could be an eye opener to the mentioned service as it would be very light compared to what you offer here. For some markets e.g. Sweden you do not have this on the meny. 


That´s all from me. All metastock oriented as that is my use.

Good luck with the new version. Bullcharts rocks and is a fantastic trading tool. 

Best regards

Stefan

Thank you Stefan,
I have now also sent this to the development team for further consideration.
It is good to hear great feedback about BC.
I think it's true to say that many of the Melb user group members agree with your last statement "BC rocks...".
Cheers

I have one enhancement that I'd like to suggest and something that I feel needs addressing :

I like the fact that the ex-div date can be identified on a chart though it's confined to just the latest date. It's valuable in the sense that if the dividend is significant it identifies the reason for any significant decline on the day (and sometimes beyond).  I would like this extended further if possible to be able to see the history of prior ex-div dates on the chart. 

The one thing I would like to see rectified is the data corruption that usually occurs following a share reconstruction. The latest 'likely' example is stock code LYC which traded as LYCDA for 7 days.
I usually wait till sometime after trading recommences under the original code and then contact Bullcharts support to have this rectified.

Thank you Gordon7 for the input,
I will forward the details to the Development team.
(To implement retention of past ex-div dates would probably require a change to the database structure, which might not be simple, nor easy).
Cheers

Oops! - Latest BullCharts version?

Most of us are now using version 4.5.0.21.

Users can always download the latest version from the official Updates and Downloads page on the website - just go to http://www.bullcharts.com.au/ and click on the link down the left hand side.

For anyone in any doubt, the latest version of BullCharts is v5.1 (actually v5.1.15), and can be downloaded from the downloads page (requiring login using your BullCharts Data username and password).

Hi, 

Do you know the status of saving also scans to workspaces?
I am on version 4.5.0.21, that was the latest version this was possible. 
Since then you can only save charts in workspaces.

For me and I guess many others it is important to be able to get the charts and
scans that belong to each other in one go. 

It is a known bug by Bullcharts.

Any workaround if not yet there?

Thanks in advance. 

Best regards

Stefan
