How to install and navigate the trading software

The Left Panel

There are three sections in the left tab. Let’s break it down from top to bottom.

The Top Section: Recent Symbols

The top section shows you the last five
you looked at. It is a way to quickly jump back and forth between products and makes comparisons quickly and easily.

The Middle Section: Watchlists

The middle section is a quick-view of your watchlists. The left panel is always visible so it allows you to keep a constant eye on your positions, the overall market, or a list of products that you are actively tracking.

The Bottom Section

The bottom section is where you’ll find your logout button, date and time, your internet connection status, and an indicator that shows when the market is open and closed.
