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.

  • It is also designed to fill in any historical data per symbol (tagged for intraday monitoring) for all trading that has occurred since the last trade recorded in the local database.

  • the "Split Session" option that doesn t require any Period input as the instrumlent Full session "Split Time" is the start of the Day session
