Viewing Quotes of Financial Instruments

In the "Market Watch" window, real-time quotes of financial instruments are displayed, along with other price data such as spreads, volume, etc.

You can customize the displayed data through the context menu. For example, you can enable the display of the "Source" field, which shows the name of the liquidity provider for the financial instrument.

By double-clicking the left mouse button on any instrument, a window for opening a new position for that instrument will be opened. You can also open a chart for any instrument by dragging it to the chart display area using the mouse (Drag'n'Drop). When doing so, the windows of currently open charts will be closed. If you hold down the "Ctrl" key while dragging, the chart will be opened in a separate tab, and other charts will not be closed.

Prices in the "Market Watch" window are color-coded as follows:

Blue — If the current price is higher than the previous one.
Red — If the current price is lower than the previous one.
Gray — If the price has not changed in the last 15 seconds.

If the symbol has an available price depth (order book) and the last traded price (Last) is being transmitted, then the color is determined based on it. Otherwise, the color is determined based on the Bid price. The server can be configured with its own background color for symbols. This allows visually distinguishing them by type, exchange, or any other properties. If the specified color scheme is not needed, you can enable the "Use System Colors" option in the context menu.

Quick Addition of Symbols

To quickly add a symbol to the "Market Watch" window, click the + sign below the list and enter the symbol name. As you type, a list of matching options will be displayed.

Below the list, you can see the current number of symbols in the market watch and the total number of available symbols. If you work with different brokers or markets, you can save the "Market Watch" settings for each of them. Compile a list of instruments, select the desired columns, and then click "Symbol Sets - Save As". After saving, the set will be available for quick switching through the same menu.

Sorting Symbols

To sort the list of symbols, click on the name of any column. For example, you can sort the list by symbol name, closing price, daily change, etc. The context menu also provides several commonly used sorting options. For example, sorting by the top gainers and losers, calculated based on the daily price change of the instrument, will be convenient for trading on stock markets.

Analysis by Sectors and Industries

Financial instruments have properties that indicate the sector and industry they belong to. Thanks to this, in the Market Watch, you can easily conduct comprehensive analysis. Select the desired category from the menu, and all available instruments from that category will be added to the list.

You can save your own sets of symbols and switch between them in a couple of clicks. Click "Symbol Sets - Save" and specify the name of the set. The file will not only save the list of instruments but also the set of selected columns, so you won't have to configure the Market Watch every time from scratch.

Viewing Fundamental Data

You can easily access fundamental data for any instrument on popular aggregator websites such as "Google Finance" and many others.
