way Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Concerning stocks/trading items in a portfolio list window. What is the Chart Period under View for? If you select an individual stock (highlight) from the list and click View>Chart Period and change the time period to anything nothing happens. At first I thought it may be a global thing, setting all charts to the selected time period. I guess I don't see a reason for Chart Periods in the portfolio list ribbon. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 that is for the INLINE Charts on the quote grid display ( you may have it further to the right of other columns) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
way Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Ah... gotcha! Moved it in closer. Quote grid. Cool, cool. Was wondering what it was called. I was thinking maybe, Portfolio Record, Portfolio Sheet, Portfolio Matrix, I wan't sure. Quote grid perfect! Learned a double on that question. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saty Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 ............Was wondering what it was called. I was thinking maybe, Portfolio Record, Portfolio Sheet, Portfolio Matrix, I wan't sure. Quote grid perfect! Learned a double on that question. That "Grid" is not the correct word. A Grid is simply parallel lines crossing each other forming squares or rectangles. This is called Chart. A Chart is made of rows and columns to tabulate data. In the Wallstreet, some ignorant traders started to use the wrong word, "Chart" for Graphs and everybody is repeating that mistake. The correct word for that window is Portfolio Chart, where it is tabulating the data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 yes, but using the word "Chart" for that would be way way too confusing. QuoteGrid was actually just an internal name I happened to be using, so it stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saty Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 yes, but using the word "Chart" for that would be way way too confusing. QuoteGrid was actually just an internal name I happened to be using, so it stuck You had to make up a word for it, because the real word, "Chart" is misused by other people in the Wallstreet, So, when the real word is gone, you scrambled for a word to call it. That is why you made up a compound word “Quote Grid”. I can see the other gentleman also scrambling for a name like, " Portfolio Record, Portfolio Sheet, Portfolio Matrix", so on. I can see everybody is struggling for a name for the real charts because it is misused by others. In your software, if you use correct word Graph for graphs, Chart for anything with tabular columns for data entry, you can name those windows as Portfolio Chart and Watchlist Chart. There will be no confusion. If anybody is confused, then let them learn it correct way from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 not the way the world works. Graph and chart have a specific meaning in the financial world, and trying to be a purist will just confuse people. And the last thing I want my software to do is confuse people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
