What is a Market Window
The Market Window is one of the main ways to see a list of streaming quotes in addition to Watchlist and Market Pages.
The market window displays a number of tabs depending on which market you are looking at. It is possible to filter the window by adding several columns in order to display data.
All Quotes- All information is updated continuously and changes in prices are highlighted.
Some markets may have many thousands of symbols available. If this is the case, the terminal will not show All Quotes and instead default to the Chains tab.
Indices- The indices tab has the same features as the All Quotes tab but only displays indices for the selected market.
Chains- The chains tab offers a selection of market lists usually containing a specific segment, category or constituents belonging to the market.
List- The list tab in a market window only displays the symbols you have added manually from the all quotes, indices or chains tab. This is done by right-clicking on a symbol and selecting Edit | Add to List.By default all symbols added to the list tab in market windows are automatically saved when the application closes.
