Sorry for the late reply.

I am using Yahoo, but everything works as it's supposed to.

WORK was the symbol I was using at the time.

I'm a happy camper.
Thanks,
Tony

You are right, I see where it would make it difficult if names were required.

So far I haven't seen anything I would change about this new feature.

Thanks again,
Tony

Deleting and re-entry is fine with me. In testing your new feature I added a symbol without a name.

Just questions:
Shouldn't you require a name in order to add a symbol?
Is the company name retrievable through the download process?

Thanks,
Tony

Absolutely amazing.

I like the provisional part and the ability to add the company name. This simplifies the entry of missing symbols.

Maybe I have overlooked it, but how could I add a name to a symbol already entered. Would I need to edit the table through SQLlite or is there a way within Stockalyze?

You are truly amazing at what you do.

Thanks,
Tony

Thanks for the explanation.

That answers it.
It was the same symbol used in backtesting.

I am not creating an intra day chart just Eod.

I was backtesting with weekly periodicity. So does that mean only the weekly historical data is downloaded?

And my charts are daily, which is why it needs to download "daily" data to display the chart?

I don't believe it's a bug, just my ignorance.

Thanks again.
Tony

Hi Sacha.
Just a question on when historical data is downloaded.

Early on in learning Stockalyze I thought running a trading system on a list of stock symbols would download the historical data.

But now when I run a trading system, and then chart a symbol, I get the brief message "waiting for price history" then the chart is displayed.

So my question is:
How did the system run a trading system and use historical data when, by displaying a chart for a symbol, Stockalye needs to retrieve historical data?

Thanks,
Tony

Yes. That sounds perfect.

At times the list of tickers I get will have the "preferred" stock (the ones with a ".A", I don't want these and try to remove them before I try to import them. But sometimes I miss them, so if error/unwanted ticker can be removed, then it sounds perfect.

Wow, you are amazing.
Thanks,
Tony

Sometimes I get tickers from FinViz or other websites and I want to run those tickers through
stockalyze Backtesting, etc.

When a ticker is missing (sometimes the list can be more than five) is it possible to have an option in the popup window listing the missing tickers, to add these tickers then, instead of canceling your operation to add them, then re-start your operation?

Presently I have a screen capture utility to capture the tickers so that I remember which ones they were.

Your thoughts.
Thanks,
Tony

I have never opened this file except for yesterday to see if that was causing the error since I noticed I had lost the alerts when I displayed the portfolio.

One thing to note, I have had problems with my computer lately, causing me to power down and reboot.

I guess it's possible that I powered down while the file was being written back, if it does write back on closing the program.

Thanks,
Tony

I'm using version build dated 9/8/3029 and when I launch it I get an error "XML parsing error: 'unclosed token' at line 27".

I thought it may be related to my alert file since I seem to have lost them.

I looked at the altert_repo file and it was missing the close "/>" symbol on the last line.

Once I corrected it all is fine.

These are the last few lines of the file BEFORE I corrected it:
  <AlertSetting Type="10" PriceOfInterest="25.0000">
    <Security Name="Yahoo!|US.AMEX.STOCK|ESP" LastEvaluationTime="20190910152401000">
      <Alert TimeStamp="20190812000000000" Status="2"/>
      <Alert TimeStamp="20190813000000000" Status="2"

Not sure how it removed or failed to put it in the file.

Tony

Thanks Sacha. No worries.
These small things don't stop from using your product daily. You have done excellent work improving it.
Again thanks for your hard work.

Tony

Hi Sacha. I hope all is well with you.

I have some small annoyances that I hope you can remedy while you address more important issues.

Charts:
When displaying a chart I must click it to make it the active window in order to scroll to my indicators.

When changing the time span in a chart, sometimes the info boxes on the left do not appear, when you change back and forth they will finally appear.

When changing time from 2 year to 3 months, the 3 month display isn't the current timeframe, in my test, it shows timeframe of 5/18/2001-8/16/2001 after viewing a 2YR chart and switching back to 3M. Can you default it to current timeframe on the right side of the chart?

Reports:
The report generated by "Scan Ideas", can you re-draw the shading when you re-sort the list? Now, The shading "follows" the item, so they become bunched up. Sometimes I sort by Signal, and othertimes I sort by Last Price depending on my objective.

When you display a chart of an ticker, you lose the highlight on the report. Can you keep the row highlighted so you don't lost track of what you just viewed when viewing the chart and going back to the report?

I know these are very minor, but I just want you to know how "we" use your program, and what can be done to improve it.

Love all the recent changes you've made. Thank you for all your hard work.

Thanks,
Tony

Thanks Sacha,
I hope your traveling was for fun and relaxation.
I have checked the beta version and it works correctly.
Thank you for all you do to keep Stockalyze improving.

Tony

I notice that when I enter a new transaction (ticker:YTEN) and choose yesterdays date, since you can't use today's date, the transaction price used is today's price, not yesterdays price.
In the example yesterday's(8/1) close price was .82 and today's current price is .85.
When I enter the transaction and use the button to Get Price, it uses today's price as the transaction price.
I can enter the correct price and it's fine.

Question: Shouldn't the "Get Price" use the date selected for the price? It seems to default to "latest" price.

Thanks,
Tony

Thanks Sacha.
You're amazing at responding with fixes quickly.

I'll catch the fix on your next update when it's available.
