1628 @Ensign_Kimball Each Wednesday we are going to have a 1 hour time period named, "Meet the Developers" In this room
1628 @Ensign_Kimball There will not necessarily be a formal class each week. However, it gives all users a chance to hear about new features and get some training as well as provide feedback directly to the developers. So, we invite you to come on Wednesdays at 330 Central Time each week. There is Voice training in the Ventrilo room as well at the same time.
1630 tradinoncoffee Paulo...just sharing...I downloaded 9/22 last night...ensign is making the audio noise that usually accompanies the access error we have been getting
1630 @Ensign tradinoncoffee, the audio from an alert object is controlled by the path and wave file selection on the alert object form. For the AutoTrends and Alarmed Lines, they use the sound selection made on the Price Alerts | List form where you can select Beep or play either of two wav file selections entered on that Price Alerts form. So if the sound is the same as an access error, it is just because of the wav file you have selected for the audio. You have the ability to select a different wav file to be played.
1630 tradinoncoffee Howard, thanks
1630 Test123 Hello Buffy I'm new. How do I save a layout so that it loads when I start Ensign?
1630 @Buffy in the workspace window you can check auto open - I do NOT recommend it. If that workspace has a problem it causes all kinds of problems when you try and open ensign. if you open to a blank workspace you can at least do something. Many do have a workspace auto open. Should have save prompt checked too.
Chart Objects Window
1631 @Ensign_Kimball The Chart Objects list has been changed slightly
1631 al_gorithm Hurray!!!
1631 @Ensign_Kimball When you open the Chart Objects List, it will remain showing, until you click on the Close button. This saves times. You don't have to keep re-selecting the Chart Objects list. There is a new 'Auto Hide' check box on the form. Uncheck the box if you don't want the window to Hide automatically.
Auto Trends
1633 @Ensign_Kimball The Auto Trends feature has some new features
1633 @Ensign_Kimball A mid point (50% line) has been added to the Properties window
1633 @Ensign_Kimball This allows you to display a mid Line In between the Channel Lines
1635 @Ensign_Kimball Also, in the Properties window for the Auto Trends, there is a new 'Close Only' check box.
1635 @Ensign_Kimball This will allow you to Trigger trades on at the Close of the bar, instead of with every tick.
1635 @Buffy2 that saves CPU right just like alerts?
1636 @Ensign_Kimball y
1636 @Buffy2 ty
1636 Termo how does one start auto trends?
1637 @Ensign_Kimball It is a Study. Click the Study button and select 'Auto Trends'
1637 @Ensign_Kimball If 'Close Only' is checked, then it will not trigger a trade if it closes below the trend line. Even though it may have gone higher than the line during the bars time period.
1648 Dennis how did you extend the lines
1651 @Buffy2 which can work very well - thanks

Support and Resistance Lines
The question was asked about why customer was getting different SR lines than what he was calculating.
Drawing arched trendline
1705 @Buffy2 could we have a refresher on how to draw the arced trendline please
1706 @Ensign_Kimball Use the 'Parallel Lines' draw tool, to draw Arcs.
1706 @Ensign_Kimball Place a check mark in the 'Arc' check box in the Properties window to activate this feature.
1707 @Ensign_Kimball The Tool can also be used to draw an 'Ellipse'
1707 dblue2 cool... can drew skewed ellipses that way too
1710 @Ensign_Kimball This is a sample from the Circles tool
1712 al_gorithm Howard, how can I have a midline of the days range drawn and updated dynamically intraday, as the daily price lines do?
1720 hobo2 thank you
1721 Dennis ty
1721 al_gorithm Thanks Howard...very nice improvements to EW. Appreciate all the hard work you put into it.
1721 @Ensign you are welcome
1722 @Buffy2 www.ensignsoftware.com/help/burden.htm
1727 LW43 Can anyone comment on what the idea behind the newly-posted Bressert template is?
1727 virt Howard, what are the "recommended" ram and cpu for a "power" user like buffy?
1728 Kent so the formulae is ((number of max bars * 75) * number of studies) ??
1729 @Ensign for general purposes kent, that is a ballpark estimate
1731 virt so like a one gig CPU and 512mb of ddr ram?
1731 MajorChaos time to upgrade that 286 virt.
1731 virt still have a commodore lol
1732 @Buffy2 so true Howard
