Trade Activity Log Disabled

Hi,

Every time I log in my trade activity log is disabled and my to/from dates for trade history resets. How can I change/fix this to have it stay the way I left it. I am having to go Edit>Untick Disable every single time I log in.

Thank you

When you save the Chartbook, the Trade Activity Log state is saved as well. So if you have it disabled, then that is how it will show up next time. If it is not disabled, then it should show up that way the next time as well.

If you do not save, then however it was at the last save will be how the window will come back up.

You should not have it coming up as disabled every time if you are saving the chartbook.

The reason this happens is because you are using risk manager mode:

So the file is suppose to show me Benchmark and VWAP and it's not showing up while before it was working fine.
Now it's just a plain chart with candlesticks no VWAP No benchmarks.

We do not know what might have occurred. First, is that a different chartbook? Did you remove the studies?

If necessary, you can recover a chartbook from backups that we make. Refer to the following:
Chartbooks (Workspaces): Accessing a Backup Chartbook File

Or, if that chartbook was from someone else, then you can ask them to send it to you again.

No i uninstalled the sierra chart and the reinstall so obviously i had to save the chartbook again to the data folder when i did it was not working properly like before.
So i deleted downloaded a fresh copy and moved to data folder again but it was not working.


The other problem i have is i have placed 4 keyboard shortcuts but they also are not working on my chart.

If you uninstalled and reinstalled Sierra Chart, then whatever setup you had in the original installation would be gone, unless you specifically saved the files.

Refer to Step #5 at the following link that gives the information on what files contain what information:
Transferring Sierra Chart Settings and Data From Existing Installation to New Installation: Transferring Sierra Chart Settings and Data From Existing Installation to New Installation

We can not say what is occurring with the Chartbook. You would need to talk to whomever you got that chartbook from to ensure you have the correct one and are putting it in the correct location.

no but usually when i uploaded the new chart book it works and works fine it has nothing to do with saaving data because the chart book it self comes with the all the settings in it so you just have to upload the book and everything is there.

Then you need to talk to whomever you get that chartbook from to find out why you do not have the pieces you are expecting.

We can not say why the chartbook changed. We have no idea. We have given the options above for how to help you resolve this, most importantly is the option to restore from a backup.

What is in the chartbook has nothing to do with Sierra Chart.

Check to make sure you are not running Sierra Chart in "Safe Mode". This should not have any impact on the studies you are using, but we wonder if this could be an issue. Refer to the following:
Sierra Chart - Software Login Instructions: Using Safe Mode

Given the above, resetting Sierra Chart will not help you. But, if you really want to do it, refer to the following:
Resetting Sierra Chart to a Default State / Restoring Backup Global Configuration File: Resetting Sierra Chart to a Default State

hi, just to ask you if there is any way to recover the or we can revert sierra chart to its default settings.

To recover a chartbook that has been saved in the backups that Sierra Chart makes, follow these instructions:
Chartbooks (Workspaces): Accessing a Backup Chartbook File

But - you state that you "reinstalled" Sierra Chart, so we do not know if you have the backups going back far enough.

To reset the state of Sierra Chart back to the default, follow these instructions:
Resetting Sierra Chart to a Default State / Restoring Backup Global Configuration File: Resetting Sierra Chart to a Default State

The chartbook has 3 windows the other 2 windows are working it's only one window which is not working propely. if the chartbook has a problem and all the 3 windows must not have worked but the other 2 windows are working fine it's just the third window which is giving me problem.
