News Overview

The News tool streams real-time, breaking news from Thomson Reuters and Acquire Media right to your desktop. You can scan the headlines, preview the news story and/or read the full story in a separate window. You may have up to 3 News tools open in the application (across all open layouts) at one time.

Get the news you want, the way you want it:

• Breaking News: Get streaming, real-time general market news.
• Symbol News: See all news on a symbol for a user-defined period of time.
• News Watch: Watch for news on a list of symbols and/or news codes (Coming soon)

Preview Pane

Headlines display in the upper portion of the News tool, and clicking on a headline will open the story in the Preview pane at the bottom.

• You can Hide or Show Preview by right-clicking in the tool or clicking on the Actions drop-down and selecting your preference. Clicking the X in the upper right corner of the preview pane will close it as well.
• You can also resize the Preview pane by dragging the dividing bar between the two panes up or down.

Full Story Display

• To open the full story in a separate window, right-click on the headline and select Open Story, or you can double-click on a headline to open it.
• When viewing the full story, you can choose between three display modes. At the bottom of the screen, choose between:
  Page Mode: View the story by clicking through the pages using the page number arrows [image]
  Two Page Mode: View the story in two columns and click through the pages using the page number arrows.
  Scroll Mode: View the story in one page with a scroll bar on the right side allowing you to scroll down the whole story.
• You can adjust the font size of the story using the Zoom function at the bottom right of the news story window. Drag the zoom tool left or right, or click the - or + buttons to increase or decrease the text size.

Tool Link Icon

Link the News tool to other tools in StreetSmart Edge using the Tool Link Icon in the upper right corner. For example, by linking the News tool to the Trade tool, any time you load a symbol in the Symbol News tab, the symbol will also load in the Trade tool, and vice versa.

TIP: Another way to accomplish this is to use the Symbol Hub tool, which lets you see news, charts, and quotes all in one tool.
