Hi!

I found myself needing to change the default date to Today when I open my Trade Activity Log each day when I start SC.
How can I set "Today" as the default start date?

Thanks!

We are not understanding this because there is on the Trade >>Trade Activity Log a Today checkbox which the state of is saved. There has never been a problem with this. And we verified that again now. It is saved.

Since the 1st day I use SC, the trade log will always view the last date I selected each time I opened up SC.
Yes there's a Today checkbox which is not the issue.

I'm referring to the FROM date which we need to change the date to current day each time we want to view "Today" trades.

What we want is for SC to also change the default value for the FROM field.

Example:

Monday (Sep 23), the default FROM date when I open up SC was set to Friday (Sep 20).

Today (Tue, Sep 24), the default FROM date when I open up SC was set to Monday (Sep 23).

So each trading today with SC, I got to make sure I change the FROM date to Today
or else my Trade Stats is not going to be accurately show only Today's trades.

When I first started using SC, I asked a seasonal SC trader how to change this default behaviour
and he said this is a bug and has never been fixed.

I'm glad I'm not the only one facing this issue.

I would also like the setting, that SC Trade Log shows ONLY the trades from current day (Today) to current day (Today) as the standard selected option.

That's why you should never ask anyone else because they are telling you something that they do not properly understand. To call the saving of a particular field of information which is properly saved, a bug does not make any sense.

We understand what you are looking for, and we will have to see about that later on.
