The first time you run the list exchange function, it requires entry of your Platinum Username and Password. All users with a current Platinum account have been provided with these. You will only need to enter these details once via the following dialog:
The maximum number of symbols per download can be set and the display of the Platinum button in the toolbar can be turned off in this dialog.
If required, the settings can later be altered in the Platinum Data Providers page of the Application Settings.
The tool will contact the Platinum server, confirm your account details, and download details of available lists.
The Loading indicator will display.
The list exchange’s interface will show lists available in Platinum on the left, and locally in Your SOFTWARE, on the right:
Three types of list can be selected from Platinum: PlatinumList, UserList and pre-computed. Use the Show: drop-down menu to control the display of lists in these groupings.
Select a list from one of these groups in the left drop-down menu to send to Your SOFTWARE.
In Your SOFTWARE window select either the Quote Lists or Scan Results from the Show: drop-down menu. All lists, organized into groups, for the selected type will be displayed.
Select the group into which you want the new list created, or the group where an existing list to be overwritten is located, and click New or Overwrite to import the list.
For New lists, the user will be prompted to name the list:
Type in a new name, or click OK to accept the existing Platinum name.
The contents of the list will then be retrieved from the Platinum server and downloaded to Your SOFTWARE.
To transfer the contents of a list in Platinum to a current list in Your SOFTWARE, select a list from the left window and a list in the right window and click Overwrite>>. The contents of Your SOFTWARE list will be replaced by the contents of the Platinum list.
Click a Platinum list name under the Optionetics Platinum list located on the left window.
Click on the New>> button to transfer the list. This will launch the Save File As dialog box.
Enter a file name for the quote list file next to the File Name input box and then click the Save button.

Note - You can save your quote list file in any location. To save your quote list file to your preferred location, browse to your target location by changing the Save In input box located at the top of the Save File As dialog box.
Lists from Your SOFTWARE can only overwrite UserList type lists in Platinum.
To transfer the contents of any list in Your SOFTWARE to a current list in Platinum, select a list from the UserList group in the right window.
Then select a target list to transfer to by clicking a Platinum list in the left window.
Finally, click the <<Overwrite button. The contents of the Platinum UserList list will be replaced by the contents of Your SOFTWARE list.
