PSS Developers Forum -> Problem with counting tickers

I am using the latest version of PSS. I decided to play with some scripts and see where it would go. I ran the sample script on the sample page to itterate through the portfolios, when it got to the first one, it gave me a count of 2 tickers with 5 folders. In the root of the folder tree I have 1 ticker, 5 folders, in the child levels I have a total of 7 tickers and 8 folders, now I didn't expect it to itterate through the child folders, but I am confused on how it could have counted 2 tickers when only 1 is in the root.

I would send you a pic, but your forum doesn't allow them.

If you had it somehow output the tickers it found, you may be able to find the cause of the discrepancy. My guess is that you're running into the "invisible ticker problem", because you may have inactive tickers (Portfolio->Mark Inactive) that are not visible, and also some parts of the software (such as the charts) create invisible tickers as necessary to perform their functions. To get around this you also have to check the ticker's Visible property to make sure you're only counting visible tickers.

I would be happy to take a look at it though. The best way would be if I got a copy of the portfolio file though, because then I can determine if it's the invisible ticker problem I mentioned. You can send the portfolio and/or screenshot to me at support@personalstockstreamer.com.
