LME Window Toolbar

Near the top of Neovest's LME window is a horizontal bar with several London Metal "Symbol List" boxes, an addition icon, and forward and back arrows. This area is referred to in Neovest as the LME window toolbar.

Icons in the LME window toolbar are designed to let you access and add symbol lists with a single click.

To access additional features, you may right click any symbol list box.

This is an image of the pull-down menu in the LME window.

The following table provides a basic description of the function of each option in the "Symbol List" pull-down menu in Neovest's LME window toolbar. For visual representation of the table below, please reference the graphic above. If questions arise concerning any of the features or windows discussed in the following table, refer to the "LME" chapter in Neovest's Help documentation for further assistance.

Note: The following table includes features accessed through the "Group," "Local," and "Log" tabs in a Neovest LME window. The "Group," "Local," and "Log" tabs will only appear in a Neovest LME window after you have added one or more Action Buttons to the LME window. For information regarding adding Action Buttons to a Neovest LME window, refer to the "Action Buttons" section in the "LME" chapter of Neovest's Help documentation.

Feature: Description:
Symbol List Box and Addition Button Lets you enter a name in order to save the symbols that are currently displayed in either the "Group" or "Local" tab in an LME window as a group. Once you enter a name in this box, right click on the group name. Then click the "Save Symbol List" option to save the displayed symbols as a group. As you save multiple lists, you may press the addition button and have multiple lists open at once.
Remove Button Lets you close a list of symbols in an LME window by right clicking the list you want to close and selecting the "Remove Button" option in the "Symbol List" pull-down menu.
Delete Symbol List Lets you delete a list of symbols in an LME window by right clicking "Symbol List" button of the list you want to delete and then selecting the "Delete Symbol List" option in the "Symbol List" pull-down menu.

Linking On Lets you link or unlink an LME window to or from other Neovest windows that are open on your screen. All open Neovest windows that are linked will load the same symbol; therefore, if you double-click on a symbol displayed in an LME window, then an open Neovest Chart window that is linked will automatically load the same symbol. As you click on the "Linking On" option, a check mark will appear to the left of the option in the pull-down menu. If a check is presentt, then an LME window is linked to other Neovest windows that are open on your screen; if there is nothing to the left of the option, then it is not linked.

Note
: For information regarding linking an LME window to all open Neovest windows or to only certain windows that are on the same channel, refer to the following "Channel" instructions in this table.
Channel Lets you choose to link an LME window to All open Neovest windows or to only certain windows that are on the same channel. Neovest provides 20 different channels to which you may link windows. For instance, you may choose to link two open Neovest windows to channel "1," which will cause the two windows and any other windows that are linked to "All" to automatically load the same symbol. All other open Neovest windows that are not linked to "All" or to channel "1" will not load the same symbol.

Note
: For information regarding why you may wish to link and unlink an LME window to and from other Neovest windows that are open on your screen, refer to the preceding "Link/Unlink Window" instructions in this table.

Note: You may remove the toolbar in any Neovest window by pressing Alt+T. Once the toolbar has been removed, simply press Alt+T again to restore the toolbar.

Further features may be accessed by clicking the gear icon, located on the far-right of the toolbar.
