Per TJ on 1/31, "auto-hide" is just
"minimized window".

be minimized?
I
just tried it and was able to minimize it. At first all I saw was the small x,
but after moving it left and back again, the pushpin showed up and now it's an
auto-hiding tab at the bottom. I assume it will still update, but can't tell
now.

This
is really a pet peeve of mine.
I
would say stocks updated means the data for all the TRQ listed symbols
is being saved to the local database in real time or a timely manner.
The
purpose is to be able to switch from one symbol to another
with no delay and a full set of data points. There are only that many
symbols you can keep open charts open for before exceeding any
CPU capabilities.
Also,
when using tick based data the backfill poses some limitations in its
functionality
(maybe because of IB’s restrictions).
In short,
unless the data saving of a limited number of symbols is a serious
burden on AB I really do not understand the reason for this restriction.
On a
positive note, there is one good reason to keep TRQ window open (slightly),
it is monitoring that data is coming in (background of the price changes to
yellow
and moves around). I keep my RTQ window a small size vertically oriented just
to see
the Last Price of a few symbols. I have had more than one occasion that even
though
the status “light” was green, no data was registering. Only “Reconnect” fixed
it.
An
ideal user friendly feature could be an built in data arrival check with
optional alarm,
and a pull down list of a user definable subset of TRQ symbols used to switch
between symbols with no requirement to have TRQ open at all.
(the existing pull down of symbol selection list is just too long to allow
quick switching)

What do you mean
with 'stocks updated'.
If you want to
have CHARTS updated - they are updated
automatically
(all open charts).
If you want
SCAN/ EXPLORATION / BACKTEST - you don't need
to run RTQ
window. Just use "wait for backfill"

the X, does it still update all the stocks?
If it was open
and you close it then yes,
but what for you
need to constantly update? Data is delivered on demand. If something is missing
- BACKFILL
feature is to
fill the gap. (Unless you run feed that has no backfill).
BTW: did you
notice "auto-hide" feature in beta? It is just "minimized
window".
