Chart Tab

Description:

The chart tab allows you to view, edit, delete, export and search charts. All items that appear in the list can be either a chart or a directory. A directory will have a blue folder icon beside the text. Selecting the directory will move into it and update the list with the contents. Selecting a chart will display it. At the top there is an  entry area where you can filter the list of stocks displayed in the list. ie. ^* would list all stocks starting with ^ Note: you must use the * at the end of the search phrase to imply everything, otherwise a literal search will be done.


The context menu functions are as follows:

Edit Chart

Opens a dialog that allows you to edit some of the chart parameters and chart data. Only the parms listed can be edited. Parms are dependent on the chart types, so not every chart shares the same parms.

 

Here is where you can edit the tick data. Just select a date and time and press the 'search' button and the data will display in the list. To edit a field, just select a field and change the values directly. To save your changes press the save button. To delete a record press the delete button.

 

Delete Chart

Permanently delete the chart selected.

Export Chart

Clicking this button will bring up a dialog that allows you to select charts you wish to dump the contents to ASCII. The exported files will be placed in the Qtstalker export directory. The exported file is in the Qtstalker format of key/data pairs, so it will not be useful for most of you. I include it for use in correcting data errors and for disaster recovery operations. The Qtstalker quote plugin can import this file format to rebuild the chart. Don't do this unless you know what you are doing.
