Tip of the Day
"NOT MARKED INTRADAY"
What it means to mark a symbol for Intraday Monitoring
When the text "NOT MARKED INTRADAY" is printed in the title of an intraday chart, it means that the symbol charted is not marked for intraday monitoring.
What does it mean to mark a symbol
for intraday monitoring?
When a symbol is marked for intraday monitoring, Investor/RT will ALWAYS
monitor that symbol tick by tick, and retain the collected data (along
with any other downloaded intraday data).
Advantages: Once you've downloaded intraday on a symbol once,
Investor/RT will retain that historical data, and append the new data as
it flows in. Therefore, downloads should not be necessary the next
time an intraday chart is opened on that symbol, and intraday data should
be available for scanning that symbol.
Disadvantage: Every symbol that is
marked for intraday monitoring always contributes towards the "symbol
limit" provided by the data service. You can open the ".Intraday"
system quotepage to get a quick and complete view of the symbols that are
marked for intraday.
How is a symbol marked/unmarked for
Intraday Monitoring?
To turn on/off intraday monitoring for a
specific symbol, right-click on the ticker symbol in any quotepage and
choose "Setup" from the popup menu. In the resulting "Instrument
Setup" window, check the "Monitor Intraday" checkbox and then click the
"Modify" button.
To turn on/off intraday monitoring for all symbols in a quotepage at once,
click the bottom left button on the quotepage toolbar
. After clicking on the
button, you should be prompted whether to "Mark" or "Unmark" all the
symbols in that quotepage.
Note: After marking a symbol for intraday monitoring, you may notice that the "NOT MARKED INTRADAY" message is not removed immediate to properly reflect the new state of your symbol. If you save the chart, or close and reopen the chart, the message should go away.
New in 7.3
A new keyboard shortcut is available in the Setup: Preferences: Keyboard
Shortcut window. The selection "Mark for Intraday" is located at the end
of the list of Toolbar / Chart actions (as seen in image below). The
effect of this shortcut is to mark any instrument(s) in the front chart
window for intraday monitoring. For example, if you setup F2 as "Mark for
Intraday" and you open an intraday chart of IBM and see a warning in the
chart window title saying "NOT MARKED INTRADAY!", you can then press F2 to
mark IBM for intraday monitoring. The warning in the chart window title
will disappear. Since Chart Buttons can invoke keyboard shortcuts also,
you may use this new feature to create a "Mark Intraday" button in chart
windows if desired.
