The format of the charts including the names is simply downloaded from Yahoo. Best Charts displays what Yahoo provides. Best Charts has not changed.
Several exchanges outside the U.S. have switched to a numeric symbol system. I agree it is inconvenient, but is not result of a change in Best Charts. The number of symbols in a portfolio, and the number of charts in micr-charts is determined by some issues related to timing and download issues with yahoo.

With the number-codes on the microcharts it becomes necessary to maintain a list of number codes and the corresponding name-codes to identify the scrips whose chart is displayed and this takes a lot of time. Earlier, one could identify the scrips right away from the name-codes on it. This is a very annoying and user-unfriendly change which serves no purpose than the usage of the software more difficult. Another deficiency is the absence of the name of the list number (numbers from 1 to 20) or better, the name of the list given by the user on the displayed intra-day microchart. This absence also makes the identification of the list difficult. It would be nice if the number of charts in each list is increased from the current 40 to at least 60 and also the number of lists also increased from the current 20 to at least 40, since the number of scrips listed on the Indian stock-market is over 5000. It will be okay if this change is implemented only in the paid version of Best- Chart. This will certainly enhance it value, and will cost nothing to the developer. I hope these requirements will be taken note of and necessary steps taken to restore the earlier userfriendly name-codes and enhance the value by making necessary changes to accomodate more scrips. If anybody knows, there are ways to make these changes ourselves, do let me know. Thanking you all and with very best regards, Shyam Raj ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Yahoo!
