If you wonder why Options Strategist doesn't work.

— If you try to use Options Strategist in MBT Desktop Pro and it crashes with "run-time error 0" check your Windows' Regional and Lenguage Options. "Format" in Format tab should be English (United States). I had "Russian" and Option Strategiest didn't work. I changed Windows date & time format to English (United States) and Options Strategist works now.

Decrease minimum candles width from 3 pixels to 1 pixel in the charts

—

Currently, the smallest width of candles in Nav Pro is 3 pixels. It would be VERY nice if you allowed candles width to be 2 and 1 pixels in future releases, to allow seeing more information in the charts without making the charts a mess. Let me illustrate what I mean:

GTC Day+ orders (equities)

—  I want GTC orders for equities that are active not only in regular hours but also in premarket and afterhourse trading, i.e. they should be active since 4 AM to 8 PM. This is definately possible - for less liquid stocks I can see the same orders active in ARCA since 4:15 AM each and every day. Also if I place an order to ARCA in the morning with a "Day+" TIF, it will have the same effect but only for 1 day. The next day I have to place the order again.

The idea is to place a GTC order that will be executed if the trading at certain level occurs no matter when: in regular or extended hours. Often the most extreme price levels are reached in premarket or afterhours trading. For example, I sold VXX at 36.66 on 05/21 in premarket. This level wasn't visited in regular trading neither before nor after that for many weeks. If I wasn't in front of the computer in premarket I would miss an excellent selling point. GTC Day+ order would solve the problem.

Automatic switching of visible session (premarket/regular trading) in

— It is quite boring to start each and every day with turning on  "all sessions" in every intraday chart and then switching all charts back  to "main session" right before the open. I miss an "auto session" option which would work similar to "Default" timeframe in Quotetracker:
1. for the previous days show only main session charts.
2. for the current day show premarket session until market opens ("all sessions" option in MBT Nav)
3. once the market opens switch to "main session" and hide premarket trading from the charts.
4. once the market closes, NavPro should display afterhours trading but still hide premarket trading.

News stories

—  It would be nice if Nav Pro provided access to news stories about stocks.  In particular, if you could right click on a stock and say "See recent stories".  This would show a list of all recent news stories about the stock - including earnings news.  You could choose any story and pull up the full text to read.  Other brokers (e.g. Schwab) offer this!

Filter of bad ticks

— I suggest implementation of a filter to remove bad ticks from the charts (filter could give the option of removing ticks that are a certain percentage offset away from the last valid traded price).
In alternative, a method to manually remove bad ticks would be appreciated. read more...

Allow Studies like a Moving Avg to overlay Volume (not just Price)

— Traders using Investor's Business Daily need to track the 50 day moving avg of Volume. Can this be added?

Currently Nav Pro will only overlay a Study or Formula over the price pane or a new pane. Can you amend this to overlay onto the Volume pane? How about adding a drop-down box called 'Display onto' with the following choices: New pane, Price pane, Vol pane or Existing study pane.

Thanks for offering us a great charting program! Keep up the good work.
