Hi Patrick,
Yep that did the job, thank you. I
am using AB on my laptop and am keeping my dual monitor desktop open for
trading. Your suggestion or tearing off the symbol list is a good one for
a dual monitor system. I would still like to see another way of stepping
through the current watchlist without having to pin open the list (like page
down) for those who are using AB on single monitor systems.
Regards,
Dave

Sounds like you haven't "pinned" the symbols list open (use
the push pin icon at the top of the Symbols Workspace), once pinned open you
can click on the chart and the symbols workspace will not withdraw. Of
course this does reduce the amount of chart space. So what I do is to
first pin the Symbols Workspace open, then float it off to another
monitor. To do this click on the top of the workspace where the word
Symbols appears, then drag the entire list (using your right mouse key) to
another location/monitor. Then you can step thru a watchlist a symbol at
a time with the up or down arrow key.
To reattach the Symbols Workspace, drag it back onto your main AB
window, and with your cursor positioned over the <-- icon at the border you
want to reattach to, release the mouse button. To get it to retract
again, click on the push pin. If you accidentally close a workspace
you can reopen it via the View menu. You can also stack
various workspace components (e.g., Layers and Layouts) such that they
will appear together.
I don't know of a way to collapse all open watchlists at once.
There may be one, but I've not found it. That could be nice -- especially
if it could be set as a hot key.

Hi folks,
Newbie question here. How does one step
through their list of stocks
in a watchlist, other than hitting the arrow down
key?
Let's say I want to step through and look at each
stock in the Nazdaq
100 list which I have loaded into watchlist #
1. I pull out the
symbols tab and click on the very 1st stock.
The symbols window stays
open (unless I click on the chart) and I can use
the down arrow key to
go to the next symbol in the list. But
should I click on the chart to
either add a trendline or to see more of the chart
the symbol tree
slides off the screen. At that point in
time, I would like to
continue by going to the next stock in the list,
but the down arrow
quits working. I have to open up the symbols list
and click on the
next stock.
Is there an easier way?
Dave
