Printing Charts or QuotePages

Printing of charts and QuotePages is supported only for some printers. If you cannot get the File: Print command to print a chart or QuotePage then try using the File: Page Setup command and select your destination printer. If printing still does not work, quit Investor/RT locate the file named printer preferencess inside the admin folder and delete the file. Then startup again, use File: Page Setup and select the printer.

Understanding Dynamic Profiles and MPB or BOP

Dynamic Profiles allow the price action of the market to dictate the duration of a profile. As price continues to trade within a given range, a profile will continue to build. New profiles are only formed once price moves to new levels relative to recent bars.

How do I turn off all the alarms I have setup? Can I put them "on hold" and reactivate them all later?

You have to do some setup work; thereafter it will be a one keystroke operation to suspend all alarms or turn alarm monitoring back on again. Here's how:

Create a schedule that runs a scan. The scan will scan the .All Symbols quotepage, examining every instrument. The scan will turn OFF the alarm monitoring options for each instrument, putting them on hold, the alarm levels will still be in place, just the monitoring state will be turned off.

Why are all Windows Floating?

This article applies to the Windows edition of Investor/RT. By design, Investor/RT for Windows does not have minimize, maximize, restore buttons on the title bar, only the close button. All windows, charts, quote pages, preferences windows, object manager, etc. are floating windows. The benefit of this approach is two-fold: (a) any window is eligible to be positioned on any monitor you wish; windows are not confined to the main Investor/RT window, and (b) all windows are equals; any window can be brought fully to the front and can float above other open windows.

Multi-Session Volume Profiling

Many users would like to add the Profile Indicator to longer time frame charts like Daily, Weekly or Monthly periodicity charts. When a Profile Indicator is added to such a chart, the profiles fail to display accurately because daily, weekly, monthly bar data does not have the necessary level of detail.
