Col2Fmt=%G
Col3Txt=Last (Change)

Col4Txt=Base Price
Col4Fmt=%E

How to customize Portfolio Column Header

You can customize the following details for each of the three layout types:
1. Column header Text (Col 1-5)
2. Column contents (Col 2,3,4)
3. If columns appear at all (Col 2,3,4)
You can modify the Basic/Detailed Layout or design your own custom layout.

Example1:
To drop the number of trades part in column3 of the Detailed Layout.
1. Select File/Edit Configuration Eagle.INI File
:
2. Scroll down to the [Portfolio2] section
3. Edit the column3 entry to:
Col3Txt=Last (Chg) Volume
Col3Fmt=%L (%C) %V
4. Save abd Exit the NOTEPAD editor
5. Activate the new layout: File/Detailed Layout:

Portfolio Custom Formating Options

StockEagle allows you to define in the column formating settings how various
position parameters should be arranged:
[Portfolio1]
...
Col3Txt=Last (Change)
Col3Fmt=%L (%C)
In this example from the basic layout the last price is represented as %L and the last change in price as %C.

Only columns 2,3,4 can be customized since the Symbol(Col1) and Graph(Col5) is essential.

The following formating codes are available:

Example:
Col4Fmt=%P %S @%E (%F)
will show first the percentage Gain/Loss (%P) then after one space the number of shares bought,
then then entry price(%E) and finaally enclosed in round brackets the fee (%F).

How to Customize the Column Width or drop a Column

Column 1(Symbol) and 5(Graph) are essential and cannot be dropped,
but the Width of Column 2,3,4 can be customized.

Example:
To only set the witdh of the Last Price (Column 3) in the basic layout to 100 pixels
and drop the balance and Entry price column (wdith=0):
1. Select File/Edit Configuration Eagle.INI File
:
2. Scroll down to the [Portfolio1] section
3. Add the following new line at the end of the [Portfolio1] section:
Col1Txt=Symbol
Col2Txt=Balance
Col2Fmt=%G
Col3Txt=Last (Change)
Col3Fmt=%L (%C)
Col4Txt=Base Price
Col4Fmt=%E
Col5Txt=Graph
PW=0,100,0
4. Save abd Exit the NOTEPAD editor
5. Activate the new layout: File/Detailed Layout

PW stands for "Portfolio Width"
The first width defines the width for Column 2 (Balance)
The 2nd width defines the width for Column 3 (Last Price etc.)
The 3rd width defines the width for Column 4 (Shares etc.)
To disable/skip a column altogether set the width to 0.
