If you select a strategy that has its PV checkbox "checked" with the Symbol Rankings tool, the corresponding checkbox in the Symbol Rankings GUI will not be checked as expected--see screenshot. What's weird is when you run the symbol rankings, it executes as though it was checked anyway.
To clarify, this is a WPF problem with the Symbol Rankings GUI not updating its PV checkbox when loading a strategy that's using PV values in its execution. The underlying WL application code works as expected. I'm running Build 136, but this has always been a problem with the Symbol Rankings GUI.

Yes, I see some problems with this UI and will improve if for Build 138.
Thanks for working on the Symbol Rankings GUI.
One suggestion. You might include a warning message whenever the "Use PV" checkbox for Rankings disagrees with the state saved with the strategy. I often forget the check that checkbox when running rankings on strategies that have it saved as "checked".
The other weird problem is the Symbol Rankings tool hangs if you run it against an empty dataset. It would be better to just let it complete without results instead of letting it hang (or you could have it return an error message).

Thanks i’ll work on that!

You're the best. And thanks to you guys for making WealthLab great and flexible.
I thought about just having the "Use PV" checkbox in the Symbol Rankings tool automatically match that of the saved strategy setting. But is that a good design for everyone? Maybe not. So maybe a simple warning message on the GUI saying they don't match is better.
What I can say is that I've had numerous times when the "Use PV" settings didn't match both Symbol Rankings and strategy without realizing it. So some kind of mismatch alerting is on order.
