Bid/Ask, Indices and Currencies, News
Last Update June 23, 2014
Bid/Ask
This Tile corresponds to one of the three available display mode of the multiBook Tile: you can enter up to 6 ticker codes in the appropriate top left box separated by a comma, the bid ask values of those securities will be displayed in the same Tile, one for each row.
This is a very convenient and compact way to monitor market prices of more than one security at the same time.
Please note: the percentage variation of the securities and the price and time of the last trade are also displayed.
Indices and Currencies
These Tiles display a list of the main market indices and currencies, in a very convenient and compact way.
They appear grouped in a single icon in the Tiles drawer; when dragged, a context menu with two options will appear, then you will be able to choose the one you want to display.
You can also open both of them as they are available as separate Tiles.
