Live algos not properly rendering on mobile
Alex S
posted Jun 25, 2014

When I try to view the state (chart / positions / orders) of an algo on the mobile site, I just get a white screen and when I scroll down, I see the table of positions and fills just floating there. The chart is not visible and neither is the STOP button (annoying because a major use of the mobile site is to monitor algos and disable if they go wrong). I believe this rendering bug is the result of narrow screen width -- on my desktop browser, if I make my screen sufficiently narrow, I get the same rendering bug. It makes the mobile site much less useful.

While I'm at it, here's a hopefully simple feature request. It would be great if just like the returns, Dollar P&L, etc, the mobile (and optionally regular) site showed the current values of the custom signals. On the desktop site, mousing over the charts in the right places gets you the values but on phones, the charts, back when they were visible, were practically unusable due to slowness and difficulty of precise clicking.

Alex,
I was looking into this issue but cannot seem to reproduce it. I was hoping you could provide some additional information. What browser and operating system are you using on your desktop computer when you encounter this rendering problem? Also, what browser and operating system are you using on your mobile device?

Thanks
Brian
