I did not mean you can not minimize the
RTQ window, yes, it is physically possible
to do of course.
But, when you do that no data is
collected for any symbol in that TRQ window!
Only the data for symbols in open chart(s)
is then being saved!
Even with RTQ window open, I am not sure
data is saved under all conditions.
(you can try and check the date stamp on the data files, or you can disable
auto back fill and switch between symbols looking for holes in intraday data).
This is a not well advertised behavior of
AB the reason for which I do not understand.

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"

> When I hit 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".
