A way to chart the bid or ask, esp. for options. Amen to that one. How hard can it be to just feed the bid to the chart instead of the last trade? It would be fine by me too if it didnt have any history cached. Of course seeing the bid/ask on the RHS or plotting bid & tick on the same chart would be very nice too. Inability to plot the bid/ask is IMO the #1 flaw in qcharts. Eric

BigJC suggests "1) A memo pad window. I often create workspaces highlighting just one stock, and I would really like a memo pad to jot down targets, ideas, stats, etc." You can use a Quote Sheet as a memo pad. Just add a Comment column to the quote sheet and you can type a comment about a stock on each line. Make the column as wide as you need. You can also jot notes right on the chart. (You need the beta version of QCharts for this. Use the Notes tool. Notes can be minimized to look like little yellow sticky notes by double-clicking on them. Double-click again and the text will become visible. "(2) A way to chart the bid or ask, esp. for options. I realize that you couldn't CACHE this information, but as long as qcharts is running and getting this information anyway, give me a chart. Or at least let me display it on the right side of the chart, like the last trade info. While there are no TICKS for bid/ask, maybe I could plot the 1-minute bars or something..." This is a great suggestion. Thanks. -- Gibbons
