MW 7

[igor.s]

The 7 is getting better and better with each subsequent release. I like the precise graphics that 6 could not provide. The new feature "Add Drawings" is really great. I use it a lot on a daily basis.

cheers.

I agree, it is ok now. There are still some bugs, in the main app and in SDK7, but it is very usable now if you build your workspaces/charts from scratch

Agreed, have been using for a few weeks now and the last few releases made it stable.

I upgraded 6 to 7 and at first it was fine. Now the past 3 days I get data gaps in the charts that are not there. Im going back to 6 for now. Maybe switch to other software. I'll decide in the comin weeks.

DO NOT UPGRADE to V7.

I've upgraded twice and downgraded twice. I've filed 3 bugs with Motivewave Support!!! only one was acknowledged and subsequently fixed. Support is slow, have a hard time reproducing bugs; fail to acknowledge bugs,

On a Mac with Apple Silicon:

1) The upgrade forces a beta Rhithmic API upgrade. This is a mistake because the new API does not work properly (which they acknowldge)! The fix is to create a new workspace with the old C++ API and restore a backup.

2) The Profit/Loss widget had a bug where the P/L calculation was not correct if you were cross trading ES (it still thought the instrument was ES), This was fixed in 7.0.6, but only after arguing with support (denied/could not reproduce the bug at first).

3) in V7.0.9 they introduced a new bug. The DOM Ask counts (on ES) are incorrect when using Rhithmic (the Rhithmic data is fine), but the the display of the Ask column is wrongly calculated/displayed wherever price has traveled. This is still outstanding. Have a look below at the comparison between the Bookmap DOM and MV v7.0.9.

I'm a software engineering veteran (35+ years in the business) and what I notice is that engineering releases software as if it's software as a service (SaaS) in the cloud; Assuming people will roll forward and stay there. This is simple wrong because support/engineering is not agile enough to find and fix bugs quickly.

MotiveWave MUST provide easy access to previous releases so that we can change back quickly when things fail. I was fortunate to have saved a v6.9.12 pkg file locally since it's not available on their website currently.

We, users, MUST HAVE release notes that detail ALL changes made in each release. As far as I can see, MotiveWave does not do that.

Same here up to 7 and back to 6 twice. Last week was lost fiddling around hoping it would work. IM back to 6 now and already considering other software for long term use. Frustrating indeed. Time for solutions .. version 6 is fine for now. I've posted download link for 6 in one of my posts. Feel free to use. Its the best version at the moment.

Thanks! I was fortunate to have saved a v6 pkg file (and have a backup), so I'm good, but man, this V7 quality is ridiculously bad.

Brian says this has been fixed in v7.0.10. It would be nice if someone could confirm that ... I'm certainly done with QA on V7
