Title Bar

The Title Bar is found at the top of all "symbol-specific" tools in StreetSmart Edge™.

The Trading, Charts and News tools, as well as the Symbol Hub each have the Title Bar at the top, because the information they provide is mainly related to one main symbol.

Compact Title Bar: Right-click on the Title Bar and select Compact Title Bar if you want the bar to take up slightly less space on your screen. It will still show most of the information below, minus the Exchange, FSI Codes, and Hard to Borrow indicators.

TIP: The feature all windows in the software share, whether they are symbol-specific or not, is the Tool Link Icon, which allows you to specify which other windows update when you load or click on a symbol.

Title Bar Features
Symbol

To load a symbol, click in the field, type the new symbol, and press Enter on your keyboard or click Go.

You can also choose from recently loaded symbols by clicking the down arrow in the symbol field.

Copy & Paste for Symbols: For option symbols, rather than having to type the full symbol in, you can right-click on a symbol in the Option Chains and select Copy. Then right-click in the Symbol field and select Paste to load the symbol. For more on the copy and paste functionality see Copy and Paste Option Symbols.

Quote Shows the last trade price.
Tick Shows whether the security is up or down for the day.
Change/Change% Shows the change in price from previous close.
Description Shows the company or index name.
Exchange Shows the exchange on which the security trades.
FSI Codes

A letter after the security name is the Financial Status Indicator (FSI).

Hard to Borrow

Stocks that may be difficult to borrow for shorting purposes will have a Hard to Borrow indicator under the name of the exchange. If the stock you wish to short has this indicator, consider that it may be difficult to fill your order. For questions on shortable share availability, please contact Securities Lending at 1-800-355-2448.

Tool Link Icon

The Tool Link Icon provides a way for you to link multiple tools so that when a symbol is loaded in one, it changes in all the linked tools.

For non-symbol specific tools, double-clicking on a symbol will load that symbol in the linked tools.

EXAMPLE

If you set your Chart, Trade and Watch List tools to the green triangle icon, any time you load a symbol in the Chart tool, it will load in the Trade tool. And if you double-click on a symbol in your Watch List, it will load in both the Trade and Chart tools.

Changing the Icon: Change the icon for a tool by clicking on it (default is the red diamond) and selecting a different icon from the list.

Breaking Link: If you want a tool to be completely separate and have no link to other tools, choose the broken link icon at the bottom of the icon drop-down.
