=== Adding Symbols in Manual Mode ===

To add a symbol:

=== Adding Symbol from Data Vendor Supplied List ===

To add a symbol:

# On the '''Symbol''' menu, select '''Add Symbol'''.

== Selecting Symbol(s) in Symbol List ==

Symbols can be selected by using the keyboard or a mouse.

== Deleting Symbol(s) from the Symbol List ==

To delete one or more symbols:

# Select the symbols to be deleted.

== Sorting the Symbol List ==

The list is sorted based on the contents of one of the available columns. For example, text data is sorted alphabetically, but months in calendar order.

== Finding Symbol(s) in Symbol List ==

Two types of a search can be performed: an Incremental search and a Full String search.

# Click on any symbol in the right panel.

# Start typing the symbol name; as the name is being typed, the selection will move between symbols seeking for a match.

<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: Each consecutive character in a symbol name must be typed with an interval of no more the one second; if you pause for more then one second, a new search will be started, for a symbol name beginning with the first character that was typed after a pause of more than a second.</div>

To start a new search without waiting for the second to be over, simply press the ESC key.

<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">Example: To search for AMD, type '''a m d''' with an interval of less than a second between each character; if you pause for more than a second after typing '''a''', once you type '''m''', the first symbol, beginning with the character "m", will be located instead.

Movement, Big Point Value, Strike Price, and Option Type.
