QuoteGrid row hiding and screener

[vrtrader64]

Please add this to your todo list:

 

Enable user to hide (exclude) rows in QuoteGrid, without deleting symbols; MT would need a way to view hidden rows. See screencap of Intuit's Quicken software for how this may work.

 

 

 

More generally, enable user to specify criteria to filter the QuoteGrid, and display only rows that meet those criteria. Filter can be turned on/off; ability to save filter criteria would be great. This can be modelled after Excel's Data/Filter functionality.

 

Example criteria: MarketCap < 500M, MarketCap > 150M, AvgVol < 100,000, Ch% > 3.00

basic hiding of a group of symbols is there now - if you have the symbols grouped (have sub-totals), you can collapse the group.

 

Filtering - that's a whole other beast.

OK, but I may not want to group symbols - just hide ad-hoc symbols. 

 

And yeah, filtering is not something I'd expect soon - just really useful, down the road.

the hiding and filtering is not a big deal. The having stuff inadvertently hidden and then continuous support emails about why something is not shown, or people just abandoning the program because it's "buggy" when they actually hid something themselves - that is a bigger problem

Understood - there will be features that are best implemented when there is a wider, more knowledgeable user community that can help newbies, so you don't get tied up with trivial/useless support requests.

 

Consider having an expert tier of MT users participate as assistants.
