Active ATM Strategy - text too long in chart trader pulldown

[foxthorn]

In chart trader there is the pulldown control where you select the ATM strategy to use...
Once executed, NT adds an item to that list that represents the active strategy.

It gives it a name like: "Active ATM Stragety 1 - My Strat xyz"

The problem is only part of that text that is visible is "Active AMT Strategy 1 - M". And if you open the pulldown you see just three characters more.

This is a big PITA when trying to figure out what active strategy you want to make current to operate on.

PLEASE address this simple change for NT 7 ... just reduce the text... maybe make it just "Active 1 - My Strat xyz" as an example.

foxthorn,

Are you suggesting that the drop down width is smaller than in 6.5?

Hi Ray...
Sorry this is actually an issue in 6.5 as well - so maybe this forum was wrong location for this issue.

However, I hope you understand how much a pain it is given the long text - and how it's difficult to switch to the correct active strategy.

What I have done was rename all my ATM strategies so they begin with a number... like "1-my strat blah blah"... "2-my other strat blah blah" .. etc.

So I can see the "1" or "2" in the name in the drop down before the text gets cut off.

Hope that is clear.

Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification, I willl add this as feedback/suggestion for improvement.

Hi Ray...
Sorry.. I thought I had posted pictures previously.. was looking back at this and decided I'd add a couple pictures anyway...

As you can see from the pics it's not easy to pick the right active strategy given the long prefix you add to it....

Thanks, clear what you mean.

Absolutely agree that this is a real pain. No need to have the long phrase.
