You will notice the “Stock Types” option at the top of each window now includes the following categories:

• Preferred Securities
• Classes A-Z Shares
• Units
• Warrants

We totally understood how we overlooked that detail and how it could be a major pain in the butt for some. So we did something about it.

Auto-Save is now optional and can be turned ON/OFF in your Settings. You will see a toggle option in the ‘Main Settings’ called Auto-Save.

Here is a video explaining it very clearly.

If you prefer reading your instructions on how it works, here they are below:

When Auto-Save is toggled OFF:

1. You will be able to manually set a window’s settings as default from the menu found in the top right corner of each window (top left corner on Mac). 

2. The menu will contain an option at the bottom called “Save as default”. 
    
3. Clicking on this will save that window’s exact state as default for all future openings.

When Auto-Save is toggled ON (blue):

Nothing more needs to be done. Your feature window’s settings will automatically save when the window is closed. If you have multiple same windows opened at the same time (ie. many charts, ) then the last one you close will automatically be remembered as the default for future openings.

Prints (real-time)

Also known as “the tape”, our Prints window delivers all of the real-time transactions that occur on any ticker symbol. Prints start running at 4:00 am EST until 8:00 pm EST for full premarket and after-hours coverage.

AND… you can filter by trade size! Only want to see trades larger than 100 shares? No problem. Larger than 10,000 for penny stocks? Simple. Customize it your way all the way.

Prints (day history)

Want to see the entire day’s transaction history? Just choose a time range and watch it go. You can even filter to only see the Prints sizes you want!

You can view the Internals in one window, switching markets via a dropdown menu:

Or, you can view each market in its own window. It’s entirely up to you!
