Hi yusi
I am using NOW terminal for trading and Now2Ami to fetch data to AB.
At present, I have 2 marketwatchs (previously I had only 1 with about 15-17 scrips), say MW1 (10-12 scrips) and MW2 (about 30-32 scrips) and I have linked MW2 with Now2Ami.
As previously I had only 1 MW with 15-17 scrips, I never faced any sort of problem, (as all scrips were visible on the monitor screen). But now I am facing some problem. Please let me know, what I am missing.
Problem 1: As I can not view all the 30-32 scrips at the same time, due to screen size of monitor, I have to move MW2 up and down occasionally/as and when required.
And I noticed that, because of this up/down movement, only those scrips that are visible on monitor screen (of MW2) at that particular time, update and the ones that are not visible (hidden) on screen do not update. Now, if I move MW2 up, then previously hidden (now visible) scrips start updating but scrips previously visible but now hidden (due to upmove) stop updating. Why it is so.
Problem 2: If I open MW1, Now2 Ami stops pulling data and so stops updating AB of scrips of MW2.
But if I open MW2 and then open any other webpage or window, it keeps updating those scrips that are visible on the screen (but now hidden due to webpage or other window).
Why I am facing this problem. Please suggest some solution.
Thanks

Look at it from a different perspective of the NOW author -- to make realtime quote updates faster, one of the optimizations is not to update rows in the market watch that are not visible. This is precisely the behavior in NOW, and is done during each update so it remains true if you scroll the MW window. . As a corollary, if a market watch is not active, there is no need to spend CPU cycles updating it. You will notice that when you switch market watches, it takes a few seconds before the quotes start updating.
By the way, this is not true of Odin -- it does not have this optimization, so there is no such limit to the number of symbols that can be captured in Odin2Ami.
Now2Ami can only pick up quotes that have changed. The only solution is that, in NOW, dock or close any unnecessary windows (log, index, connectivity, ticker), or make the market watch font size smaller, and remove/minimize blank lines there. It may strike you that using a market watch in full window mode may help, but that has other issues.
I typically capture about 35 symbols on my humble screen.
