Playing & Trading Strategy

An appeal to fund managers

Posted by: edzep on Feb 11, 12:45 in response to edzep's post More new features for Port Monkey! Quickly retrieve &...

As noted above, Port Monkey can now retrieve the descriptions from the detail page of any HSX security. Well, that's only if it finds the description. For 99% of all Moviestocks, Starbonds and Funds, all is well.

But, some of the funds use non-standard formatting above the description paragraph. For others, I want to make you aware, for future reference. Even if you're unconcerned about Port Monkey users, consistent style in these types of presentations is always good.

Since most of the funds have either "Fund inception" or "Inception date," I used that as a standard reference. Then, if your next paragraph is your main description (I'm pulling in just one paragraph), everything is good. If there are extra paragraph tags or other labels before or after "inception," or no "inception," it goes wrong.

I found these 7 that you might check: SEETV, XOVER, BOOKS, COMIC, CAINE, KIDS, SUMMX. A few others could maybe use longer initial paragraphs.

Anyway, help if you wish. Or, consider a brand new style for all to use, and let me know! Thanks -- EdZep

Dang. Wish I could use this but I've moved to FF4. {nm} eyescovered Feb 11, 16:32

We'll get you back in the fold... when the time is right for FF4 and Greasemonkey. You were actually the first person to join Port Monkeys! {nm} edzep Feb 11, 16:45

Eyescovered, why not just use Chimp, for now. It will still beat the tar out of whatever method you're currently using to trade. edzep Feb 11, 17:11

Cancel that. Today, I got Port Monkey working with Firefox 4. {nm} edzep Feb 12, 12:00

Happy that Port Monkey in FF4 loads my port MUCH faster. Thanks edzep! {nm} Paul2k Feb 12, 12:05

Great to hear! Thank you for the report. {nm} edzep Feb 12, 12:10

Hmm edzep Feb 13, 09:02

Can you fix the code so your trade box doesn't appear inside Forum posts, thanks. {nm} Antibody Feb 13, 11:01

Huh? Can you provide some specific information? Cuz, obviously, I have not seen that. edzep Feb 13, 11:17

Or, do you mean Chimp simply not appear on Forum pages? {nm} edzep Feb 13, 11:22

Or, do you mean on the page, when reading the inside message of post or reply? {nm} edzep Feb 13, 11:33

i have a pic inside ( i think) can you see the trade box in the upper left? islander Feb 13, 11:35

Thanks. So, does Chimp do this just on inside message displays? Does it otherwise work as expected, elsewhere? edzep Feb 13, 11:49

Ah-ha, progress! Yes, I can see it -- when I view your specific post about 4 longs. edzep Feb 13, 12:32

not2fast's post... ok {nm} edzep Feb 13, 12:54

if ti helps, mahondas is another player whose IM has the same thing. thats all i have across afaik {nm} islander Feb 13, 13:22

thank you {nm} edzep Feb 13, 14:03

not2fast, need to know if you noticed or did anything unusual when you made that post. edzep Feb 13, 13:03

RazorHawk... edzep Feb 13, 13:09

sorry, been gone most of this weekend... RazorHawk Feb 13, 13:18

Can you recall, and find a couple of places where you've seen it. edzep Feb 13, 13:23

ignore edzep Feb 17, 17:53

ignore edzep Feb 17, 17:54

Yes, I noticed that when I was posting. I was wondering if it woud hose up the message. I have Chimp turned off now. not2fast Feb 13, 13:33

I tried turning it back on for this message, but I don't see anything in the Message box. not2fast Feb 13, 13:36

I see it did post the graphic that time, so I have just turned it off again. {nm} not2fast Feb 13, 13:38

But, it is there! I have Chimp off, and see the title bar near the left (maybe scroll down a bit) {nm} edzep Feb 13, 13:38

I only see the time box in the top right and the time remains the same if I reclick the IM. {nm} grammar Feb 13, 23:42

But, the point is that you DO see it. edzep Feb 14, 03:16

Thank you. I'm getting a clue. I think I'll post a Chimp version that keeps it turned off in the Forum pages. edzep Feb 13, 13:43

What if I threw a party... edzep Apr 02, 05:08

DMac, or anyone who may care, I think I'm getting a conceptual picture of what's happened edzep Feb 13, 17:52

I get this periodically but I'm sure it's not a PM problem but tather the players. I usually close and reopen FF and all is well. {nm} grammar Feb 13, 23:28
