re:"invisible" stock COA
re:"..Please post the strategies you are using or let us know your username."
Well, the TI window comes right up automatically on menu click just like Level II or Totalview window in Scottrade Elite without entering a username or anything. The test "strategy" is pretty straightforward though so here is a step by step of what I did:
TI "Tape reader" window
right click -> configure
> set alerts = x new high, 1 days, nothing else selected
> window specific filter = none ( all blank)
> exchanges = x nyse, x amex, x nasdaq
> symbol lists = "test COA" created from scottrade elite quote window menu, sym lists, create/mod sym list, contains only symbol COA
[ok]
TI- right click > history > time frame
start = 10-13-2006 4:00 pm
end = 10-11-2006 9:00 am
[ok]
TI right click > history > unselect [ ] realtime
all I get is 3 triggers for 10/11 3:53pm...nothing for 10-12.
A further experiment: added EDEN to "test COA" symbol list.
Need to select then deselct real time to get it to take sym list update. TI picked EDEN move up fine, nice screen full of (tradable) triggers for 10/11 and 10/12..
hmm.. also geting some EDENS for 10-16 and 10-17 . Seems like I shouldn't see those since time frame limit is 10-13. Yup. time frame still set (just checked). ok figured this little quirk out myself. Apparently if you don't reclick [ok] on timeframe after making a change elsewhere it didn't clear out all the realtime display completely (i guess). I redid timeframe [ok] and the extraneous EDENS went away.
Still no 10-12-2006 COA's showing though...
eden is nasdaq stock
coa is nyse
A bit more feedback chatter (sorry, piling on here this msg because I am limitted to 3 msg/day as new ihub user).
I seem to be experiancing a bit of trouble with TI retaining my alert settings. I felt I had to keep going back and rechecking that they stayed the same during the above testing.
When I first open the TI window it seems to default to some previous setup e.g. 30 min high checked. What is the right way to "save" settings?
Also, the hist/time frame settings are a little counter-intuitive. Normally one expects the "start" of something to occur before the "end", temporally speaking. A minor matter which I managed to figure out after a few trys wondering why it wouldn't let me check [ok]...<g>
thanks
