PRT V12 Bugs

Question

Posted

I have been using PRT for the past 15 years or more, indeed I was partly responsible for introducing many of my clients to the platform in 2007. So, I suspect like many others using ProRealTime (PRT) V10.3 charting platform were more than happy with it. So simple, so easy to use. I had a look at V11 and decided some time ago that I wouldn’t change to it until I had to. Then shock of shocks, Friday’s login I knew I wouldn’t see V10 anymore.

V12 took most of Friday to find my way around. I’m old school so I don’t need any fancy gizmos to aid my trading. Now I find that even the simple stuff has lots of bugs. I sincerely hope that someone has been working over the weekend (PRT HQ in France) to at least straighten out some obvious programming issues.

In the older version (V10), if I wanted to configure something I could click a button and up popped a box with easy to alter item, periods, colour, lines, etc. click another button and save the changes. Now with V12 I find that some of the items changed do not hold the requests, e.g. take a straight line, yes you can alter the thickness, but ask it to hold a new colour and it stubbornly stays the same colour (yes, I have discovered how to configure something and make it stick and now I have to type in what to call the change, why? There’s annoying number of items that refuse to stick. Take the text box, it will not hold the requested border colour, there’s lots more bugs I could mention, but you get the gist. Worst of all despite saving all the work I did on Friday none of it has not been saved, so I’m back to where I was when I first logged in on Friday 01-12-23. I won’t be doing all that again in a hurry until I know the platform has been reprogrammed, I’ll trade elsewhere for now!

I can’t believe that PRT would release such a major overhaul of this previously excellent programme without testing it to distraction before the release date and why change something that was once so easy? If it ain’t broken don’t mend it! Maybe you’re expecting IG clients (et-al) to do that for you.

Finally - IG, why were we not told of this imminent change in advance? Fortunately, I take screen shots every day, so I do have hundreds of trading examples from the past. I thought we - your traders - were your valued clients? It doesn’t feel that way.

Hi @shaggy99 -

I totally agree with you.  PRT 10.3 is what I still use.  You can get back to 10.3 by clicking the "previous versions" part of the button instead of simply clicking through to v12.  It seems you need to keep the old launch app installed as the new one does not seem to be backward compatible.  For now we are still being offered both previous versions but I see no advantage in going to v11 because candles fade to near invisibility when the chart is zoomed out past a couple of clicks.  This makes a historical chart useless.  So I'm not surprised that v12 is a complete shambles. 

If anyone from IG reads this, could you please take some time to interact with this thread with a view to making the charting better, possibly by finding a better alternative to IG charts than PRT?  IT-Finance (PRT charts) seem to be getting worse with each new version of their platform.

    • Lately I’ve been following AIXBT by Virtuals for a bit, and I’m not gonna lie, it’s making me wonder about the direction AI is taking in the crypto space. Kinda seen a lot of hype around AI lately on X and different forums. So here’s my take, instead of just applying AI to the usual market analysis, AIXBT is talking about AI agents that could actually be co-owned and tokenized like digital assets that interact with games, social platforms, and even manage wallets. More findings in the whole co-ownership thingy, which is a great idea especially with the blockchain aspect. A lot of people are talking about how AI could help boost revenue across different platforms, but I’m still skeptical about how this will actually work in practice. These agents are supposed to be able to do things like pick up a sword in Roblox or interact on TikTok, but will they actually change the way users engage with digital spaces? Couple of top exchanges like BINGX already listed $AIXBT which is a big deal, imho as it’s gaining some real traction already.  Notwithstanding, still thinking if this is the future of digital assets, or is it just another trend that’s getting way too much hype?
    • With Clanker native token recently listed on Bitget and already trading above $68, some people have start speculating that this AI-driven token deployment platform on the Base network could increase adoption on the blockchain due to some various reason such as; 1. Ease of Token Creation: Clanker simplifies the process of token creation to the point where it's accessible to anyone with basic social media skills. Users can deploy tokens by simply tagging Clanker on the Farcaster platform, describing their desired token, thereby lowering the entry barriers for token creators and potentially attracting a broader user base to the Base ecosystem. 2. Community Engagement and Viral Potential: The integration of token deployment with social media platforms like Farcaster encourages community participation. Memes and viral content can naturally lead to increased attention and, consequently, adoption. Clanker's tokens often become memes themselves, which can drive speculative interest and trading volume, furthering the network's visibility 3. Profit Sharing Mechanism: Clanker's model includes sharing a portion of the fees with the users who request token deployments. This financial incentive could encourage more people to use Clanker for launching tokens, thus increasing activity on Base. The promise of earning from the liquidity pool fees makes it an attractive proposition for users looking to participate in the crypto space in a potentially profitable manner. 4. Innovation in Tokenomics: By introducing tokens like LUM, which were autonomously created through AI collaboration, Clanker showcases innovative tokenomics. This not only promotes the idea of AI in blockchain but also piques interest in how tokens can be generated, possibly drawing tech enthusiasts and investors curious about new token models. 5. Fostering Decentralized Social Interaction: Clanker's operation within the Farcaster ecosystem highlights how blockchain can intersect with decentralized social networks. This intersection can lead to new forms of interaction and economic models where social engagement directly correlates with token creation, potentially making Base a hub for such activities.  6. Market Activity Boost: The surge in transaction volumes due to Clanker's activity indicates its substantial impact on the network's activity. High transaction volumes often correlate with increased interest and investment in a blockchain, which could lead to greater adoption as more participants are drawn to where the action is.   Is obvious that these factors could increase adoption to base chain but what do you think?
