It is possible to modify symbol properties in QuoteManager. Every symbol has a set of properties.
Data Source, Category, Exchange & ECN, Symbol Name and Symbol Root are the mandatory properties.
In case the symbol was added [[LINK /101_Symbol_List.html name="1=12"; |from a list supplied by data vendor]]
all mandatory and most optional properties are already set according to data vendor requirements.
It is possible to modify propeties only after the symbol is already added to the symbol list.
In case the symbol was added [[LINK /101_Symbol_List.html name="1=11"; |manually]]
all mandatory (except Symbol Root) and some optional properties are already set.
It is possible to modify propeties
while creating a symbol as well as after the symbol is already added to the symbol list.
Important: This information can be obtained from the exchanges where the symbol is listed or from a brokerage firm.
The properties are edited in the Edit Symbol window:
