My opinion at present

Feature Request

1.Indicator

*General issues

I cannot delete indicators smoothly and cannot edit. When I don’t use some indicators temporarily, I’d like to hide instead of deleting. So far delete only.

*Ichimoku

There is unnecessary line in chikou line (lag line), as I have posted already. I believe FT is synchronised with MT4. However, if possible, chikou line should be flexible regarding to the period as the other lines are available. I’d like to change the period of lag of chikou line. The default lag is 26, and I cannot change it so far.

*MA

H-shift doesn’t work.

When I put a couple of MA in 4H charts, I can put 8 and 20-period, however I cannot put 120-period MA in 4H.

2.Layouts

After I create a couple of charts, if I choose one of layouts options, the charts except first one I created are initialised.

I’d like to decide the position of each chart as drag and drop. So far, I cannot move and change the place of chart easily.

3.Charts

An option that “show and hide” are applied in all the charts should be there. For example, when I want to hide volume on all the charts, I must do it each chart. It takes time.

4.EA

I’d like to run my own EA on FTO. This is one of the most important functions.

5. Date and Time

On the monitor, the date and time should be shown like FT6. So far, I cannot know that the date and time of the price(real-time moving) when FTO is running.

6. Speed

It’s not clear whether “Speed 1x” means the real market speed or not.

7. The period of chart mode

There are no weekly and monthly period. And the custom period should be there. I sometimes want to use 9-weeks etc.

8.Save option

So far, I’m not sure if FTO is auto-save or not. There should be the save option.

9.General question

I’m not sure the brand positioning of FTO. So far, I feel that the main tool is FT6, and FTO is submain to use basic functions in multi devices. Because I cannot test EA on FTO. If FTO becomes full spec, that would be very helpful for me.

I’ll keep you updated.

Thanks

    Hi Daisuke!

    I'm Alex, the product lead for Forex Tester.

    Thank you so much for the detailed feedback you've shared. It's super valuable to us as we strive to improve our product.

    1. General issues - Addressing the flexibility of managing indicators is definitely on our radar. We're looking into adding functionality for hiding indicators instead of deleting them.

    2. Ichimoku & MA - We are aware of the issues with the Ichimoku's and the MA's H-shift not working as expected. Our team is investigating these bugs and will aim to resolve them promptly.

    3. Layouts - Multichart handling is indeed not perfected yet. We're actively working on improving how charts can be organized and manipulated, including drag-and-drop positioning.

    4. Charts - We're also considering adding a global option to show and hide elements across all charts to streamline the user experience.

    5. EA - Running custom EAs is a crucial feature, and it's definitely in our plans for future updates.

    6. Date and Time - We'll note your feedback about displaying date and time like in FT6 and consider it for our updates.

    7. Speed - The "Speed 1x" setting reflects how quickly ticks are processed rather than matching real market speed. We'll make this clearer in the user interface.

    8. Period of chart mode - The absence of weekly and monthly periods is a current limitation of Alpha Testing. We plan to include these and custom periods in future versions.

    9. Save option - FTO does auto-save your work periodically. However, we'll ensure this feature is more transparent.

    10. General question - Our aim is to enhance FTO's functionality so it not only matches but exceeds FT6 and becomes a robust tool for use across multiple devices as a web platform.
