Symbols can be copied among documents with drag and drop. In price pages, you can also create a copy of a symbol in the row beneath the current symbol.
▪ Select the symbol that you want to copy:
- In a price page, watch list, options matrix or the price page view of time and sales, select the symbol by clicking on its row header.
- In a chart, select the symbol by clicking on the time series.
- In the Symbol Search dialog, the QuickBar or FastLook, select the symbol by clicking on it.
▪ Hold the mouse button down and move the symbol. The mouse pointer changes:

Drop the symbol on the data table view of a chart to replace the current symbol in both the data table and the corresponding chart (note that the pointer will lose the plus sign in this case). |
