The following table describes the function of each icon in Neovest's Time and Quotes window toolbar but does not explain in detail the features or windows associated with certain icons.

Description:

Link/Unlink Window
link
Lets you link or unlink a Time and Quotes 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 open Neovest QuoteWatch window, then a Time and Quotes window will automatically load the same symbol. As you click on the "Link Window" icon, the image of the link will change to appear either intact or broken. If the link appears intact, then a Time and Quotes window is linked to other Neovest windows that are open on your screen; if it appears broken, then it is not linked.

Note
: For information regarding linking a Time and Quotes window to "All" open Neovest windows or to only certain windows that are on the same channel, refer to the following "All" instructions in this table.
All
all
Lets you choose to link a Time and Quotes 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 a Time and Quotes window to and from other Neovest windows that are open on your screen, refer to the preceding "Link/Unlink Window" instructions in this table.
Live / Bounded
live
Lets you choose to either receive live--or real-time--data or enter a time range to view data within a certain timeframe. If you select Live, then Neovest will allow you to view Time and Quotes data as it arrives in real time. If you select Bounded, then the "Choose Date/Time Range" box will appear, which will let you determine a start and end date and time range within which Neovest will display your desired Time and Quotes data.
Pause
pasue
Lets you pause a Time and Quotes window. Once you click this feature, the scrolling real-time price and other data on the symbol you entered will pause. Once you click on the resume icon (""), Neovest will add all of the data you missed while the Time and Quotes window was paused to the Time and Quotes window and will begin scrolling real-time symbol data once again.
Select Start and End Date

Accesses the "Choose Date/Time Range" box, which lets you enter a time range within which to view certain data. This box contains two calendars and two clocks that let you determine a start and end date and time range within which Neovest will display your desired Time and Quotes data. One unique feature of certain display fields in the Time and Quotes window is their ability to calculate data within your specified timeframe. For more information, refer to the "Display Fields" section in the Time and Quotes chapter of Neovest's Help documentation.

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.
