Optimus Flow - Feature Requests & Feedback

[Mod-JakeM]

To follow up on previous responses, we have previously developed Profit/loss target alerts and Time in Trade alerts within Optimus Flow. See below:

As mentioned we currently have two alerts that can be configured:

1. Profit/Loss Target Alerts
2. Time in Trade

Once the user defined criteria is triggered, an alert will populate within the platform giving you the option to liquidate any open positions or orders for the said product. In the example below, i have an alert configured to trigger when an ES trade is +$250 in profit:

Once the criteria has been triggered, the alert is then automatically disabled and the user is prompted to flatten their current trades:

The time-in-trade option works similarly, but instead of being entirely based on profit or loss, this Alert is based on the time of the trade (you can also filter it to trigger based on whether or not a position is currently positive or negative):

In the example above, my trade lasted for one minute (Position P/L configured to any - so regardless of the PNL of the trade after 60 seconds was up the alert was triggered) and then the alert was triggered:

We touched on this previously along with the additional risk configuration settings that Rithmic has in this thread here: Daily Loss limit

Reporting a bug I’m seeing. I’m using a Logitech G700s mouse and discovered that it was sending double-clicks instead of a single click. I was using Chart Trader with the order entry buttons on the chart. I had a 6-contract position open. When I clicked “CLOSE POSITIONS” the double-click resulted in two sets of orders - i.e one sell to close the position and another order that went short 6 contracts.

This should not happen - even if the mouse is faulty or if one intentionally or mistakenly double-clicks the “CLOSE POSITIONS” or “FLATTEN” buttons

If the chart cursors could have different sizing/thickness options, that would be great!

Hi there. I have just opened a futures account and downloaded Optimus Flow, going through tutorials to get the hang of it.

My suggestion is to add an option in chart settings to invert (or flip) the data on the chart, so the chart is displayed upside down. It comes in handy when doing analysis on inversely correlated markets.

The “Bind” feature is nice, it would be even better if we could Group the panels that are bound. I tried it but it didn’t work…

[Mod-JakeM]

Thanks for your feature suggestion and feedback, @Rollo_Tape.

For binds, you can first create a group of different charts and features. Once you have your panels grouped together, then you can combine multiple groups into one bind.

You can accomplish what you are trying to do, however, you need to do the opposite. First group panels and then bind them!

Thanks,

A couple of quality of life requests:

-Please add a shortcut to show/hide the crosshair, or at least a toolbar icon for this. I am finding annoying having to right click, scroll through options to view, access a new dropdown menu only to show or hide the crosshair.

-Please add an option to either hide all drawings on a chart, or “show only drawings of current chart”

Let me explain why: at the same time that I want to see the drawings of a chart being displayed in other charts of the same symbol, I also would like to have a chart or charts of the same symbol which do not display the drawings of the “master chart”. So far I could not figure out a way of doing that.

Hi @Rollo_Tape,

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We can talk to our developers about adding a shortcut to enable/disable crosshairs.

In regards to your second suggestion, we actually already have these customization options in our hotkey menu. To customize and add these hotkeys, right click your chart > settings > hotkeys as shown below:

Scroll down just a bit to General and you will find an entire section dedicated to adding/removing different indicators, drawing tools, and objects from your chart as highlighted in yellow. I know these customization options are in a different format than you are looking for currently, but hotkeys could potentially be a quicker option than a toggle button and something you can use in the meantime to accomplish this.

Also, we now have a new site that you can use to track the latest updates on Optimus Flow. We also have a feature requests section. If you would like to make feature requests in the future, you can also post them directly at this link: Optimus Flow Feature Requests

Thanks again for your suggestion!

Hello Jake,

The problem with “hide all drawings” is that, yes you gonna hide the drawings from the “master charts” on it, but then you can’t draw on that chart anymore either…

A better solution would be an option in chart settings like “hide same symbol drawings”

Regarding the crosshair shortcut, Quantower replied to me and said that by clicking the mouse wheel you can hide/show crosshair.

Hello. I want to report an issue with EMA clouds. I have attached an example from today’s MES 5-minute chart but I have seen it happen in past days.
The trend is bullish, therefore, cloud is bullish (yellow). But sometimes due to pullbacks the cloud has a tiny bearish twist (encased in a square in the image attached), then a bullish twist. Cloud is bullish but now has the bearish color, and it can throw you off.

I deleted the EMA cloud indicator, re-added it, set the same colors I was using, and the wrong color will still appear. I found you can refresh the chart and the cloud color will be fixed then.
