If I hit the "." key once I can view a vertical line in the price chart on the day I point to. If I hit the "." key twice, I get the data box too.

Sometimes, when using the pointer and viewing the data box, I get a pop up box that displays the change in price by dollar amount, percent, etc. between a past point and the current data. I like this, but I don't know how in the world I'm getting it (pop up) to display as I can't recreate it very often.

How do I get the pop up box to display? I mean, what should I be doing, not just stumble bum on to it.

Thanks - Dick

I think you are activating the Custom Date Sort tool. Check out this video to see if I am correct:

I actually think it's when your cursor is hovered over a white watchlist tracking marker on your chart. It looks like a little house, it's white, and it points to the day that the stock you're looking at was added to the personal watchlist you're in. When your cursor hovers over the marker, a box pops up, displaying the change in dollars and percent since the date the stock was added to the watchlist.

Thanks guys - Doug, you win the prize for what I was doing. I checked my chart display options and noticed a box for wl tracking marker. I was using a white background and the tracking marker was set to white. That is why I had never seen it before or noticed I was even over it with my pointer. I changed the color and now it shows up.

I'm glad Craig directed me to the video as I wasn't aware of this feature.

Finally, I'm assuming the tracking marker shows up automatically when I add a stock to any watch list I create, but not on scans. I searched the discussion board and help. I found nothing specifically directed toward wl tracking markers.

One other question - will my TC2005 program automatically update with version changes or do I need to check for updates?

WL Tracking is for Personal WatchLists only.

Your TeleChart will keep itself up-to-date.
