My topportfolion http://www.quantnet.org/forum/vbtrad...=topportfolios show different values than when you go to the portfolio value http://www.quantnet.org/forum/vbtrad...olio&userid=74

This is the same value from the Top Portfolios view. It gets updated once a day.

Ah-ha! You are right. I now see why he was getting that error. I will post a fix shortly. Thanks Lionel.

The top portfolio view should be fixed now for people using a table prefix.

As I've explained, the top portfolio values are updated once per day. The portfolio view values are real time values.

[Quantnet]

can you please post your postbit where you display the portfolio value ? thanks

Just notice that the file still shows as 0.9.6

that fixed it

I've been patiently waiting for midnight, I've been running that cron manually, no matter what

1-portfolio value is different from top portfolio and actual portfolio (I just ran cron again) here

2-It only displays one portfolio. There supposed to be 3 of them. The cron is still inserting -999999 for the other ones.

[Quantnet]

Lionel,
I can't see your top profile page : Invalid action

How do you run cron manually ?

[Magz]

Woo hoooo,

Thank you, working a treat.

I can now see that my users are smarter investors than me lol.

Keep up the good work
