Real-time quote window

Working with real-time quote window

The RT quote window provides real-time streaming quotes and some basic fundamental data. It is fairly easy to operate as shown in the picture below:

You can also display a context menu by pressing the right mouse button over the RT quote window.

The context menu allows you to access the following options:

• Time & Sales
  Opens Time & Sales window that provides information about every bid, ask, and trade streaming from the market.
  
• Easy Alerts
  Opens Easy Alerts window that provides a way to define real-time alerts executed when bid/ask/last and other fields hit user-defined levels.
  
• Add Symbol
  Adds the current symbol to the Real-time Quote list.
  
• Add watchlist...
  Adds the entire watchlist to the real-time quote window.
  
• Type-in symbols
  Allows you to type the symbols directly as a comma-separated list.
  
• Insert empty line
  Adds an empty (separator) line, useful for grouping symbols.
  
• Remove Symbol
  Removes the highlighted line (symbol) from the Real-time Quote list.
  
• Remove All
  Removes all symbols from the real-time quote list.
  
• Hide
  Hides the Real-time Quote list.

Re-arranging symbols using drag-and-drop

Real-time quote window now (v5.10 and up) allows you to rearrange the list of symbols by a drag-and-drop mechanism. Simply click the left mouse button over the symbol, hold it down, and drag to the desired location, then release the button.

Bid/ask trend indicator

Version 5.90 adds Bid/Ask trend - a graphical indicator showing the direction of the 10 most recent changes in real-time bid/ask prices. The right-most box is the most recent, and as new bid/ask quotes arrive, they are shifted to the left side. Color coding is as follows:

• Dark green: bid > previous bid OR ask > previous ask
• Bright green: bid > previous bid AND ask > previous ask
• Dark red: bid < previous bid OR ask < previous ask
• Bright red: bid < previous bid AND ask < previous ask
• Red / Green box: ask < previous ask AND bid > previous bid
• Green / Red box: ask > previous ask AND bid < previous bid

If bid/ask prices don't change, there is no new box. NOTE: This column works only if there are real-time quotes streaming (markets are open).
