Version History
Version 2.3.0, July 28, 2008
-
There are a couple of major new features in the Navigator.
- Columns are added that show the % change for the Day, Week, Month, Quarter, and Year. You can quickly see what happened to the S&P 500, or any other WatchList by looking at these columns. These statistics now apply to both the groups and the individual files.
- You can double-click on these columns to sort the Navigator by that category. In particular, see the the "Sectors" tab, and sort the best performing sectors to the top.
- A Sectors tab is added that tracks sectors and industry groups.
- You can now double click on an information category in the table in the Charts View and sort by that category.
- A special feature was added for international stocks. Different websites, such as Yahoo and MSN, use different symbols for international stocks. Stock WatchTower attempts to convert these automatically, but there are some exceptions. You can now specify these exceptions by going the the Chart View and clicking on the tab for the particular website, such as MSN. There is a field in which you can change the symbol used for that particular stock.
- WatchLists are cleaned to remove any empty symbols. This occurred previously with the Industry Group automatic WatchLists and led to many error messages. These incorrect symbols are now removed from the WatchLists
Version 2.2.1, April 27, 2008
- Major New Features
- The Navigator window is now tabbed so that different WatchLists are shown in different tabs.
- An Industry List tab is included to provide a quick overview of industry groups.
- A Favorites tab is included. Select any Watchlists, SmartWatchList, etc and mark it with a Favorite category on the Navigator window, and then it will show up on the Favorites tab.
- A Filter setting is added. This is a very powerful feature. Click one or more WatchLists or Smart WatchLists, and all other WatchLists are filtered by only included symbols that are also in the selected filters. Use this to quickly create new Smart WatchLists on the fly. For example, click on a Smart WatchList labeled as ">13 Day" and "> 50-Day" to find stocks that satisfy both conditions.
- The Chart View is now tabbed. The "Extra Info" tab show a table of the earnings history. The "Safari" tab provides instant access to information for the symbol on a specify website. The "Unused" tabs will be configured for additional websites. Please suggest other uses also.
- International symbols are now supported. Enter symbols in the format used by Yahoo Finance.
- Bug fixes
- A couple of problems were found that caused random crashes. Additional code was added to report future bugs in the Debug.txt file.
- Historical data was not saved correctly at all times in previous
versions. This will self-correct during your next update if
needed.
