High/Low Settings

StreetSmart Edge® High/Low tabs are customizable, allowing you to choose the types of stocks and/or indices for which you want to see highs and lows.

Access the High/Low Settings window by right-clicking in a tab or clicking the Actions menu and selecting Tab Settings...

Applying Settings to Individual or All Lists

You can choose to apply the settings changes you make to either just the current High/Low tab or to all High/Low tabs. The default is to apply the settings only to the current tab, but if you prefer the settings to apply to all, be sure to make that selection at the bottom of the Settings window before clicking OK.

Tab Contents

You can customize the types of stocks to track in a High/Low tab to display any combination of the following:

Save Custom Symbol List: If you create a custom symbol list you want to keep for future use, click Save as Watch List.

Remove symbols from Custom Symbol List: Find the symbol you wish to remove from you list (may need to use the scroll bar to move through the list if it's long), and click the X next to the symbol to delete it.

  • Show Daily Count Column: Displays how many times a symbol has broken through a new high or low.
  • New High/Low must differ by at least $: A symbol is considered to have broken a high or low if it differs from the previous high/low by $0.01. You can change this default setting by entering a new value here.
Signal Approaching High/Low

The High/Low tool can also alert you to when symbols you are tracking are approaching a daily or 52-week high or low.

  1. Check Daily and/or 52-Week to enable these proximity alerts.
  2. Use the Signal within $ fields to adjust how close the price should be to the high/low before it triggers a proximity alert.
