Faster keyboard searching

It has always been the case that you can just start typing to search in the list of symbols in the current market or composite window. For windows with a large number of symbols (such as the Stockholm Options feed, that contains more than 4000 symbols), the keyboard search could be noticeably slow. This has now been sped up dramatically. The visible layout of this Find dialog has also slightly changed - showing the list of symbols that match what you type directly in the dialog.

Open a new market with the keyboard

It is now easier to use the keyboard to find a specific feed or service in the select dialogs for the Market and News commands. You can type in part of the feed name or feed short-code - the list will be filtered to only show the matching entries. Just press Enter when you have found the feed. If you memorize the feed codes you can now open a new World Indices window simply by pressing Ctrl+M, WIX, Enter.

Drag-and-drop

In earlier versions of the program you could drag-and-drop a single symbol between windows and lists. This has now been extended so that you can select a block of symbols and drag-and-drop them on a list.

You can drop a list of symbols on the List page of a Market or Composite window or on a Basket Trading window (to automatically create basket orders for each dropped symbol).
