An investor using this view is not one to miss an opportunity to buy or sell — and likely has a watchlist for every occasion. Here, investors can view their portfolio and four watchlists all on one screen. There’s also a "Top/Flop" view, which shows the top performers and the “flops.”
To replicate this Dashboard example:
- Launch the Trading Dashboard from “My Portfolio” or “Place an Order”
- Select a work space from the five available across the top of the Dashboard
- Open the main menu in the top left corner of your screen
- Select “Portfolio & Lists” and choose “Portfolio”
- Choose your desired portfolio by clicking on it from the list on the right
- Size and drag the widget to the upper left side of your work space
- Return to the main menu in the top left corner of the Dashboard
- Choose “Widgets” and locate the “Top/Flop” widget, then click “Add”
- Size and drag the widget to the middle of your screen
- Use the magnifying glass to search for an index to populate the widget (the example above uses NASDAQ 100)
- Return to the main menu, select “Portfolio & Lists” and then “Watchlist”
- Choose the desired watchlist by clicking on it from the list on the right
- Size and drag the widget to the upper right side of your work space
- From the main menu, select “Widgets”, “All” and then add a “Chart” widget
- Size and drag the widget to the lower left side of your work space
- Use the magnifying glass to search for a security to populate the widget, or drag and drop a security from the watchlist or portfolio widget already opened
- For the remaining two widgets, select “Portfolio & Lists” and then “Watchlist” again from the main menu, and choose your desired watchlist from the lists on the right
- Size and drag the widgets to the lower middle and right sections
Tip: To change the type of chart displayed, use the Display dropdown menu within the chart.
