Do you mean clicking on it in nautilus (Files)?

What happens if you type, in a terminal
/home/wadesmart/Barchart/Barchart-linux32-online

What happens if you browse to /usr/share/applications and double click
the desktop file there?

If that works then remove the link from the shortcut (it is probably
referring to a different desktop file, (possibly one in
.local/share/applications) and drag the one in /usr/share/applications
to the launcher.
