]]> First, many instruments do not trade 7/24. Thus if you are showing a chart that covers beyond the time that these symbols are trading, you expect gaps in the chart.

Second, you may not have the complete historical data on hand and that your data vendor for some reason did not deliver the data to NeoTicker on the first request. If that is the case, select the chart, then point your cursor at the blank area and press the key F11. NeoTicker will try to obtain the data again from your data service for the missing data automatically.

]]> When you track that many symbols, it is likely you are doing scanning, and/or real-time breadth analytics. Thus, you can exhaust the available RAM in your computer easily.

Check the Task Manager to see if your computer is running low on RAM. If so then consider adding RAM to your computer may help.

If you find that your computer is consistently using 100% CPU, then you may need a faster CPU with multiple cores to improve the overall performance.

A possible cause of this problem can be a mistake in your NeoTicker settings. Check the Cache Manager> RAM Cache tab; click on the option button to bring up the RAM Cache Options window. Under the Smart Tool tab, if it is set to auto, change that to Disable to lower the spike in RAM usage.

]]> These fields require construction of real-time look up table to work. Turn on the real-time lookup table under Server Setup>Lookup DB tab.

Be reminded that enabling RT Lookup you are telling NeoTicker to download the tick data for all the streaming symbols in order to compute the accurate values for those fields. It can be a time consuming and high CPU load process.

You should consider using the faster accumulated version of these fields instead: AccDnTick, AccDnTick%, AccDnVol, AccDnVol%, AccNetTick, AccNetVol, AccTikRatio, AccTikTrin, AccUpTick, AccUptick%, AccUpVol, AccUpVol%, AccVolRatio.

Next, to reset the symbol count on the eSignal Data Manager, close all other programs connected to eSignal Data Manager, then close eSignal Data Manager manually. NeoTicker® will then automatically re-launch and reconnects to eSignal Data Manager.

]]> Workaround - You can use the QC Exponential Moving Average.

Reason - NeoTicker®'s implementation of the exponential moving average is written according to the correct definition from mathematic texts, as well as classic technical analysis texts.

When the previous generation of technical analysis programs introduced in the 80s and 90s, some programmers decided to create their own version of exponential moving average and then almost every program came after that copy their code from these implementations without questions why the indicator is implemented that way. The claims were that their version "react faster" and "more responsive", etc.

]]> Group files and function window files are very similar to standard document like Word document. To copy a function window send from a friend to you through email can be done in two ways.

First, if you are running NeoTicker®, just choose open of the specific function window. The open dialog will be displayed. Now just drag the function window file into the dialog file display area. The file will be copied. If you are not running NeoTicker®, and you wish to do a direct copy, then you will have to open the NeoTicker® directory. The NeoTicker® default installation directory is c:\Program Files\TickQuest\NeoTicker3. Once you opened the directory, you can drag and copy the function window file into the directory window.

Also, you can copy groups by export them to a package. From main window, choose Group>Export Package. Select the groups you want to export. Press Open. Then choose a filename for the package. The package is a single file that contains all the selected groups and their windows. To import a package file, choose Group>Import Package.
