About the Quick Quote Window

The Quick Quote window provides a snapshot of a symbol's information that includes it's price, trade and volume. Quick Quote is independent of the TradeStation Desktop and windows, and operates outside of the TradeStation Desktop.  

In order to launch the Quick Quote window, the TradeStation platform (or Ticker Bar) needs to be opened. A connection to the internet is required, or otherwise the "TradeStation is Offline" message is displayed.

 To open the Quick Quote window, use the main menu File > New Application > Quick Quote menu sequence or double-click a symbol from the Quotes ticker bar. You can also enter .LQQ [symbol] in the Command Line.  

• To change the symbol, type the desired symbol and press ENTER. The toolbar changes to a symbol box, and the symbol is displayed. The drop-down contains the history of symbols you entered.

The Quick Quote window contains a toolbar that allows you to:

• change the customization settings of fields and windows settings
• lookup a desired symbol
• select the AutoClose and Always on Top settings

Closing Quick Quote

By default, the Quick Quote window remains open until you close it; however, you can specify a specified number of seconds for the window to close. Once you close the TradeStation platform, the Quick Quote window automatically closes.
