Import/Export

By -

I'd like ProphetCharts users to know that there is (finally!) import/export built into the program. In other words, you can export a watch list into a text file and also import a text file so it creates a watch list. This is most helpful for thinkorswim users, since it creates a "bridge" between the two programs.

To export a watch list (which is just a simple .csv file made up just of the symbols themselves), right-click on the watch list name and choose Export Watch List

That lets you save the .csv file wherever you want. To import a list (for instance, from a list that the TOS software generates with its own export command), choose Import from the Watch Lists menu.

Isn't that simple? Even a bull could probably handle it!

And here's an arty shot of your humble narrator, having woken up on his last day here at 5:30 to put together a post for his readers. Good-bye, Las Vegas!

Watch Lists

By -

I've been having a really good time here at the show in Las Vegas. I'll be doing a couple of different speaking engagements tomorrow (Tuesday); one with Tom Sosnoff, and one by myself about ProphetCharts. Many Slope readers have recognized me and said hello, and it's great to meet some of you in person.

Instead of my usual examination of charts, I spent time on my page about watch lists. This topic may seem bone dry, but if you use ProphetCharts at all, I encourage you to read it. You may benefit from some of the tips here.

I'll do a new post in the morning, prior to my talk with Tom.
