QuoteGrid tabs


vrtrader64

Question

Right now, too much of my screen real estate is used by multiple QuoteGrid windows.

 

When tracking many symbols it would better to keep multiple QuoteGrids in a single tabbed window. 

 

Three existing MT alternatives to tabs that I can think of are not optimal :

 

1) Minimizing/maximizing QuoteGrids is time-consuming and requires lots of mouse movement.

 

2) Using the dashboard to bring-to-front / close requires the dashboard to be open, which takes screen real estate. It is also slow. Finally, it does not allow minimizing - only closing - which shuts off data for that QuoteGrid.

 

3) Adding a Portfolio selector to the QAT defeats a feature of MT that enables mixing data sources in one QuoteGrid. (I followed your suggestion for mixing data feeds, using a "non-started" grid for the hybrid display. This would stop working if I switched through QAT dropdown list.)

 

So, please add this (low priority request) to the wishlist: make QuoteGrids dockable to a parent window and accessible via tabs; and allow individual QuoteGrid instances to be separable from the main tab window container, for those who like to keep things spread out on their screen(s).

 

Thank you.

OK, I tried subgroups, and already found two things that make them hard-to-use with long lists:

 

1) scrolling through the list to find the [-] / [+] symbol to minimize the subgroup is tedious.

 

2) sorting by column sorts all subgroups - if the quotegrids were on separate tabs they would retain their sort order

 

Will you consider a tabbed / dockable QuoteGrid container ?
