I can reduce History charts and I can reduce Intraday charts and I can even reduce the Options window, and I can expand them again one-by-one very easily as they are easily found above the taskbar. But I cannot reduce Portfolio windows. Attempting to reduce Portfolio windows turns them off completely – they disappear, in which case I have to literally go to the Dashboard and turn them back ON. Once I use the Dashboard to turn back ON a Portfolio, the Dashboard disappears, so then I have to go to the taskbar again to turn that back on so that I can turn the other Portfolio (a horizontal list of indices) back ON. How annoying is that? In fewer words, Portfolio window reduction does not work. And the Dashboard runs away at the sight of a Portfolio being opened.

in portfolio edit add sort to the symbol column alphabetically is ok

I can see how I can export my portfolios, but I have about 40 of them made and I wish to share just 8 of them with a friend, can I export the 8 either individually or as a group??

Have a portfolio (A) with a stock listed say IBM. have another portfolio (B) with the same stock IBM drag IBM from (A) to (B). IBM is deleted from A in (B) IBM is duplicated

click on green flashing icon for source top left portfolio. changes to start stop click start and now get red square icon with label STOP click stop and get > icon with label START no longer a green flashing icon to show whether portfolio is activated on the source. very unclear

minor same alert set on portfolios if stock is repeated in portfolios then as many times repeated will get same alert duplcated

Thanks Jerry for providing a great program, with nifty features even at this early stage. Your programs keep "surprising" me (in a good way, do not get me wrong!). Yesterday, I updated to the latest MT 1.0.7999.1138 (Windows XP SP3). Playing a little with it, I noticed a nifty feature, that escaped my attention before: I can import Portfolios:-) So I decided, at least for the day, to stop using the old QT and try to do as much as I could with MT, to have some more fun. I work with 27 Portfolios in QT (I must admit, practically they are Watch-lists rather than real Portfolios). I really did not want to re-create them all in MT, one by one! So I went to the QT and, sure enough, there is a specific procedure to export all portfolios that I need. QT created a nice *.pex file. Then, I opened MT and: 1) Surprise ! I was sure that I saw the day before a way to import Portfolios; today I just could not find it! Is not in the MT Dashboard drop-down menu tagged indeed "Portfolios". Neither it is in the "Medved Trader Portfolios" window that opens when you click on the "Edit Portfolios" button on the Dashboard. This is probably the right place to be in. As matter of fact, here I find Add, Delete and Copy buttons but no Import (or maybe Export) button! After walking around for 15 minutes, I found it in a not so expected spot: it is in the drop down menu in the Dashboard called "Files". Please, do note that this menu "Files" has entries to load and save Layouts and Clear Data, then there are also Export/Import entries, but it does not suggest what is actually Exported/Imported, no reference to Portfolio at all. So, for 15 minutes, I wrongly assumed they are there to import Data or maybe Layouts; far from me the idea that we here are talking about Portfolios! Happy about the discovery, I moved on with the import procedure. 2) Surprise ! Even if I selected as Filetype the "Old QT Portfolios" MT does not see the *.pex. If I force it, by selecting All Files, MT loads it but does not see any Portfolio: it does not work. Apparently, MT tries to load a Port.xml file, which, even if I do not know for sure, I suspect being a QT internal file that has something to do with Portfolios. Browsing the old QT installation directories I found this Port.xml file, indeed. 3) Surprise! MT loaded this file and offered to import all the Portfolios that I have in QT (no just the ones that I exported in the *.pex file). OK, never mind, I am happy anyway since MT offers to select which Portfolio to import. 4) Surprise ! When later I tried to open these imported Portfolios, many, but not all, did not open. The Portfolio window has a big red cross in it instead of the symbol list, and an Error Box pops up saying "OwnerDrawCellEventArgs has null Style" with a button which promises more details (see below). 5) Surprise! Once I close the Error box and the Portfolios windows (with a big red cross) and I open the Portfolio again, it works correctly (from the second time on)! ALELULIA. I can e-mail you the Port.xml file in case you need it. The details of the pop up error box are below, cheers, fabrizio: ---- BEGIN OF ERROR MESSAGE Le informazioni su come richiamare il debug JIT (Just-In-Time) anziché questa finestra sono riportate in fondo al messaggio. ************** Testo dell'eccezione ************** System.NullReferenceException: OwnerDrawCellEventArgs has null Style. in C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.OwnerDrawCellEventArgs.a() in C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.a(Graphics A_0, Int32 A_1, Int32 A_2, Style A_3, Rectangle A_4, String A_5, Image A_6) in C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.a(Graphics A_0, Int32 A_1, Int32 A_2, Style A_3, Rectangle A_4, String A_5, Image A_6, CheckEnum A_7) in C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.DrawCell(PaintEventArgs e, Int32 row, Int32 col) in C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.C1FlexGrid.DrawCell(PaintEventArgs e, Int32 row, Int32 col) in C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.DrawRow(PaintEventArgs e, Int32 row) in C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.C1FlexGrid.DrawRow(PaintEventArgs e, Int32 row) in C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.a(PaintEventArgs A_0) in C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) in System.Windows.Forms.Control.PaintWithErrorHandling(PaintEventArgs e, Int16 layer) in System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmPaint(Message& m) in System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) in C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.Util.BaseControls.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message& m) in System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) in System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) in System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) ************** Assembly caricati ************** mscorlib Versione assembly: 4.0.0.0 Versione Win32: 4.0.30319.296 (RTMGDR.030319-2900) Base di codice: file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/mscorlib.dll ---------------------------------------- MT Versione assembly: 1.0.0.0 Versione Win32: 1.0.7999.1138 Base di codice: file:///C:/Programmi/Medved%20Trader/MT.exe ----------------------------------------

Jerry, I saved a column Layout for a Portfolio I created, and am looking to apply the same Layout to another Portfolio & Source. However, when I Load the saved Layout for the new Portfolio & Source, the screen switches back to the previous Portfolio. I would expect that the Layout be independent of any Portfolio. Is this normal?

Hi, JM! After a power outage, MT advises that data is corrupted on one symbol in a portfolio and has cleared it. Therefore, feature request, is it possible to add a feature that would include the facility to automatically export all settings and data either at MT start or MT exit or perhaps at a predetermined time, please? Perhaps a command line argument to use with Task Scheduler that tells MT to only export all rather than start. Let me know what you think. Cheers

Could you please add a column to show the upcoming or most recent x-div date for stocks? It can be useful to know if a stock has recently paid a dividend or is about to pay one, and this data is available from various data feeds, incl. Yahoo! and Stockwatch. Thank you.

Can you please add an "Undo" to the Portfolio symbol editing? It is easy to accidentally delete a row, and then not be able to figure out what you have deleted. Thanks.

g'day Jerry, noticed in portfolios/watch lists default shows change $ [couldn't locate change %] Requesting: Add Change % to Watch lists/Portfolios Currently watch list/portfolio / column chooser / options change $, gain $, gain % Can either be separate column or toggled in "change" column, preferred separate columns... Thank you PS: is it possible to attach links to feature requests? perhaps due to low post count I am restricted, or just brain dead and couldn't locate the attach icon
