5 My Quotes Lists

Click the My Quotes List pull-down to create, rename, delete, or manually rearrange lists. Studies and sorting preferences are stored for each list. This allows you to customize each list to meet your analysis needs.

When you click OK to create the new list, the Quotes app displays the new list name and the list is empty. Use the Add Symbol command (see Add symbol above) to add symbols. The list is automatically saved, and is now part of your Web Trading settings.

To change from one list to another, use the pull-down and select the list that you want.
