The News Watch tab allows you to watch for news on a list of symbols and/or news codes. Click a headline to display the article in the preview pane. Double-click on a headline or right-click and select Open Story to open the article in its own window.
To get started adding symbols to the News Watch tab:
- Manually enter symbol: Type symbols in the Enter symbol field and click Add. To add multiple symbols at a time, add a comma between the symbols.
- Watch List: Add all the symbols in a saved watch list by selecting it from the Select Watch List drop-down. Click Add to add the symbols to the list.
- Current positions: To add all your current positions to the news watch list, check Current Positions. Your positions won't actually be listed in the News Watch Items display, but they will be tracked by the News Watch tab.
- Breaking News: If you want the results from your Breaking News tab query to also display in your News Watch tab, check Breaking News. The query won't actually display in the News Watch Items, but results will still appear in the News Watch tab.
You may enable or disable specific news providers from streaming news to your News tool. To make changes to these settings, right-click in any of the news tabs or click the Actions drop-down and select News Provider Settings.(This is a global setting, so it is also available from the main Settings menu at the top of the software.)
Check or uncheck news providers as you wish and click Save to enable the changes and close the window.
