Chartsmart built in backup

Sunday, May 20, 2007

A new feature has been added so that when ChartSmart starts, it creates a subfolder of the csmart folder called backup_emergency. When ChartSmart starts it automatically saves the 12 custom back files (eg watch lists, your filters, and so on) into a zip file identified with the date and time it was created. A total of 10 zip files are created, one for each of the last 10 times ChartSmart was started. This way, if you have a problem, for example you lose your watch lists or portfolios for whatever reason, you can call a ChartSmart Technician and they can restore your last good backup. Of course, one should always go to MAINTENANCE and BACKUP OF CUSTOM DATA to do your backups regularly, but this emergency option is made available in abnormal circumstances in which case the user has lost some data and needs to restore changes from the previous time ChartSmart was started. This also is beneficial if the user has forgotten to do backups for some time.

In order to see the backups and restore from them one can go to HELP then TECHNICIAN CONSOLE. In the menu on the bottom click on BACKUP EMERGENCY RESTORATION and it shows a menu of the last 10 backups for each time chartsmart was started. Click on any one to restore.

ChartSmart Testimonials

Tuesday, April 24, 2007

ChartSmart Stock Screening Software has some great Testimonials. For example read the following after which you may want to go to our web page and download ChartSmart and take your free 30 day trial!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I downloaded the demo Chartsmart program yesterday morning off your website, and then spent the entire rest of the morning, afternoon, and evening analyzing everything about it. To say that I am totally impressed would be a huge understatement!! The ease of operation of the program is nothing short of amazing, and considering I attempted to use a trial version of xxxxxxx a few months back, and was completely lost and never could figure it out, even with a lot of phone calls to their help line; Chartsmart is unbelievably easy to use in comparison and I highly recommend it to everyone who is remotely considering a charting program.

While I continue my studies over the next several weeks I'm hopeful that I will possibly learn your code for writing my own custom indicators, at which point then I will be even more impressed! Thank you for a great program, you've got a customer for life!"

ChartSmart New Feature - Internet

Monday, February 20, 2006

Just wanted to let our users know of a new feature if this download the upgrade (help, about chartsmart, then download the upgrade). There is now a globe button on the ZTWCH and PORT and other buttons that allows you to get intra-day information on the stocks in your lists.

Also we have added an ALERT feature under TOOLS that allows you to set price alerts for stock charts and screen out the ones that have passed the alert prices.

Finally we have put in a feature to allow users to display a chart only to a specified date, eg 1 month ago. Then you can attempt to predict what will happen and then display the entire chart. This is a great learning tool for our users.

Thanks!
