vrtrader64 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I don't remember if this was the case in earlier versions, but the behaviour of MT may cause loss of information to the user. Normally, clicking the news indicator light-bulb next to symbols brings up the corresponding symbol's news window. However, (possibly inadvertently?) clicking on the symbol instead (not the lightbulb) turns off the lightbulb. The user must then remember there was news for that symbol. This loss of info also happens when switching symbols with the cursor keys, but NOT when clicking in any other column in the QuoteGrid other than the symbol column.

Jerry Medved Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 No, clicking on the symbol does not turn off the bulb. only clicking on the bulb itself would do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrtrader64 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I beg to differ - please take a look at the video I emailed you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 your video shows just the grid, not the news window or the caption of the portfolio. I am willing to bet that the portfolio and the per symbol news window are linked, so when you click on the symbol, it switches the news window to that symbol. Headlines are "viewed" at that point and thus the bulb being turned off. that works as intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrtrader64 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 You are correct ! I had the news window minimized, and I did not realize that it was symbol-linked. (The pushpin is missing from the dashboard window list for the news window) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 that part I can fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
