Quotes & Stock Lists in Scottrader
Your stock lists are designed to help you track market changes for securities you want to follow. To create a new list, edit an existing list or delete one of your lists using Scottrader Streaming Quotes, click the Manage Lists button in the Quote Grid window.
You can include as many symbols as you want on your Scottrader lists but each list will be divided into sections of 40 symbols. If, for example, you create a list with 95 symbols and title it New List, Scottrader will automatically separate the list into three sections as follows: New List 1 containing the first 40 symbols entered, New List 2 containing the second 40 symbols entered and New List 3 containing the remaining 15 symbols. The Scottrader Quote Grid can only show 40 symbols at a time, but the Active Ticker and all linked windows will display all 95 symbols.
