The connection log says “communication complete, no requests made”, what does this mean?
This could mean your computer date or time are incorrect
What time should the update be performed?
You should wait until 8:30 EST, before updating your database.
Will splits and distributions be automatically calculated?
Yes, in Data Retrieval Options, place a check in “Process Splits and dividends” and also in “Process distributions”. Then when the data service sends the information the program will automatically adjust the pricing.
One of the groups is showing a bad data spike, how can I correct this?
First, scroll through the group, and find the stock that has bad data. Use Data Retrieval to reload history on the bad stock. Then, in Data Manager, click on Utilities, Compute Group/Sector Indices. Highlight the group symbol, click on Recompute All Dates.
The window that shows my symbols is missing. How do I get it back?
The window has probably been resized. To get the pane back, slowly drag the mouse to the right of the Data Manager window. When the arrow changes to an arrow pointing both left and right, left click and drag back to the right.
I don’t understand what the different types of lists are?
TradingExpert Pro list files organize tickers into easy to use containers that are then available throughout the different elements of the software. There are distinct types of list files that serve different purposes.
Linear or one level list.
– Taglist
This is a list created in Charts (Taglist, set taglist). It allows you to add tickers to a list directly in Charts.
Tickers are organized alphabetically in this type of list.
– List created by TradingExpert Pro application – Reports
In Reports you can have all the tickers in a given report placed into a list (with a report open click on the Build Report List toolbar button). Tickers are organized in the order they appear in the report
. – List created by TradingExpert Pro application – Expert Design Studio
In EDS you can create a list of stocks produced by a Trading strategy (chart list toolbar button). Tickers are organized in the order they appear in the EDS report.
– Group/Sector or multiple level lists
Linear lists allow you to scroll back and forth through a list of tickers. Group/Sector lists allow you to scroll back and forth as well, however they also allow you to explore up and down from a ticker to a group that is associated with that ticker. This group and other associated groups are combined together into a sector. You can explore up and down and back forth throughout the structure.
