Float Data Manager
Prerequisite -This feature is only available with the Woods Float Plug-in.
StockShareV2 conveniently retrieves, manages and processes lots of data dynamically in the background which is invisible to many users. One such piece of data has been the Float value. Occasionally, the two web sites that StockShareV2 uses to access the Free data has been unreliable to consistently provide Float data to the users. So, for this reason, we have created the Float Data Manager.
The Float Data Manager give the user the option to manage float value data for the symbols they are interested in. Some users prefer to get float values from a their third party data provider in lieu of the free data feeds provided by StockShareV2. The user can 'Add', 'Update', 'Remove' or 'Save' any float value with just a few mouse clicks and key stokes. The symbols and float values in this table are saved and stored on the user's local hard drive. The user can also select the order option in which this table is to be used..
To Access the Float Data Manager click on 'Edit' ... the click on 'Float Data Manager'. The following dialogue box will appear.
To Add Symbols and Float Data to the table - begin by typing in the symbol and float value. The Add / Update button will activate.
Click on the Add / Update button.
The float data has now been successfully added to the table and is ready to access. This process is repeated for each symbol you want to manage.
To Update or Change Float Data in the table - begin with a Left mouse click on the symbol that you want to change. This will highlite the row and will display the data in the symbol / Float fields.
You can now type in the value that you want and click Add / Update.
... And there it is.
To remove Symbols and Float Data from the table - begin with a Left mouse click on the symbol that you want to remove.This will highlite the row and will display the data in the symbol / Float fields.
