Why are the rows that have Entry and Exit signals indicated on My Watchlist frozen? The prices are not updating since the time of the signal. Is there a data problem?
Any pair that calls an Entry or an Exit is frozen on Watchlist so that the user can see the entry levels for both the long and short legs and the Core Ratio and Spread values when triggered.
PTF UA3 will then reset these rows to "In Trade" and "Days in Trade" of 1 when it crosses over into the next trading day.
To follow intraday how the pair is trading versus the signal value:
- Open the Intraday Spread Chart or the Intraday Core Ratio Chart from the upper toolbar in Watchlist.
- These charts will populate with new datapoints approximately every 2 minutes while the chart is open.
- You can contrast the current level to the signal level using these charts.
