Customize Your Positions
Some exciting new features were just added to the Positions table of your account homepage. The new features make it possible for you to customize your Positions table by changing the number of positions shown, choosing the data categories displayed in your table and the order in which each category appears, and sorting the information presented.
The updated Positions table gives you the ability to:
- Set the number of positions that display in your table. Choose to display 20, 40, 60 or all of the positions you currently hold in your Scottrade account.
- Choose the information that displays in your Positions table. Select from more than 15 available data columns to customize the information shown for each security in your Positions table. Choose from data columns including real-time bid and ask prices, percent and price change since the previous day's close, volume, total market value of a position and more.
- Organize the data columns in your Positions table according to your personal preferences. The data columns shown on your Positions table can be rearranged to appear in an order that best suits your investment interests. Assign a customized location to the information that matters most to you.
- Sort your positions using the value for each data column displayed on your table. Click on any column header to organize the positions shown in ascending or descending order according to the data column clicked.
