ThinkTrader 4+

I absolutely LOVE the app, it has been the key determinant in my trading success along with the proper education, but I am begging you to update the version on MAC to the version on windows where you can reduce the size of the trading history section so that there is more screen real-estate for the chart showing the currency pair. Please I find it so annoying that there is a massive chunk of the screen not being used where it can be replaced by the chart and this does make a huge difference, please make it so you can reduce the size of the bottom part so that there is a larger part of the screen showing the chart, then this app will be perfect, I will still give it a good score, since it totally deserves it and the windows application doesn’t have this problem. Thankyou for the great app hopefully you will change that small part.

The platfrom is great but constant updates to the platform would be highly appreciated.
Lots of bugs still yet to be fixed which haven't been fixed for a couple of years. this is concerning as developers are not paying attention to the details.
overall grade- good
could do better tho

Initial impression seems fine. So far I was able to add multiple basic indicators, mainly Moving averages both simple and exponential, was able to set a couple of those to averages of the highs and lows. Indicators seem to be unlimited which is important to me - on other packages you seem to be limited to 3 exponential Fas and 3 simple MAs which seems crazy. MACD also looks how I would expect.

Trendlines work nicely, they automatically project forward in time but not backward (which is nice) and it’s easy to duplicate them for channels.

Another requirement I have is for multiple charts showing the same instrument but different time periods, I was happy to find this ability in “Chart schemes” and I was able to link the charts so when I choose say a different currency, all the charts change to show that currency but maintain their timeframe.

Cons (These are things that perhaps are possible but I couldn’t work out quickly):

—————

- Drawings, trendlines etc. do not appear across charts for the same instrument.

- There are no tooltips on buttons below the charts so you have to guess what they are, or click on them. There’s a magnet symbol which I have no idea what it does. I click on it but as far as I can tell it does nothing. (Later I worked out it’s a snap tool, i.e. a trend line will snap to a high or a low of a candle)

- The inspector does not work across charts. e.g. I would like the cursor to appear on the candle of a 4h chart, when I have the cursor over a candle on the 1h chart.

- Later when trying to copy a trend line I get a “Failed to copy” tool error. Creating a new line and duplicating it immediately did however work.

Summary

————-

So far, it’s the best native MacOS charting package I’ve found, doing 95% of what I need out of the box. The stuff it doesn’t do, I think I can live with.
Cross chart cursor sync on the same instrument would be really helpful, as would cross chart annotations.
The chart schemes functionality is adequate but it would be better if you could also configure how many charts you have vertically and horizontally. e.g. 4x1 for 4 charts across the screen instead of being limited to one large chart across the screen and 3 below (or 1 large to the left and 3 to the right). I would like to have from left to right: 1w, 1d, 4h, 1h for the same instrument. It doesn’t seem to be possible to change the relative size of each chart.
