Profit percent on radar view


Q: When I use the Radar-Calculate buttons to scan a group of stocks, a table named “Portfolio Optimizer” will appear. In this table, one algorithm is assigned to each stock. However, the Profit % related to each stock is zero. Judging from the list of algorithms alone, with no information on the Profit %, how do I know which stock is the best performer?

A: Radar screen should be manually calculated to display actual up to date values for every symbol in your portfolio. Use “Calculate” button above radar view to start calculation. If portfolio contains many symbols, this calculation may take a significant time depending on the performance of computer. Watch progress of calculation in status bar on bottom of the main window. All fields on radar will be filled with appropriate values when calculation completes. Do not forget calculating portfolio before inspecting the results.
