You can open one or more symbols from the search results in a document, for example a price page or chart. First, you have to select the symbol(s) that you want to open. Then, select the document type.

Note             You can also display news, a company profile or analyst recommendations for most symbols.

To select symbols from the search results

▫       To select one symbol, click on it.

▫       To select several symbols at once, click on the first symbol, hold the Ctrl key, and then click on all other symbols you want to select.

▫       To select several consecutive symbols, click on the first symbol, hold the Shift key, and then click on the last symbol.

▫       To select all symbols, right-click on any symbol and choose Select all.

▫       To select only symbols whose ticker, name or ISIN match your search term exactly, select Select only exact matches in the Group by section.

Note             Select only exact matches is activated by default.

To open market depth, time and sales, price page or chart documents for selected symbols

▪       Click on one of the document buttons:

Market Depth

Time and Sales

Price Page

Chart

Continuation Chart (only available for futures)

Note             If you have selected several symbols, and open a new price page, watch list or time and sales document for them, by default all symbols will be combined in one document. If you keep the Ctrl key pressed while choosing the document type, each symbol will be opened in a separate document.
If you open a new chart document while selecting several symbols, holding the Ctrl key will open overlaid symbols in one chart pane. To open every symbol in its own chart pane, hold both the Ctrl + Shift while choosing the document type Charts.
If you open a chain symbol (pointer to a list of symbols, for example DAX#XETRA), this is treated in the same way as opening several symbols at once for most documents. Special treatment of chain symbols is only possible in price pages (see Displaying Chain Symbols in a Price Page) and time and sales documents (see Displaying Chain Symbols in Time and Sales).

To open other documents for selected symbols

▪       Click on the Open button.

▪       Select the document type that you want to open.

Note             You can also right-click the selected symbols and select Open.

For futures symbols, you can open a continuation contract in any document, for example a price page or chart:

▪       Click on the Continuation tab in the top left corner of the Symbol Search dialog.

▪       Adapt the continuation settings to your needs, that is, define how the continuation symbol should be constructed out of the individual futures contracts (see Changing Continuation Settings).

▪       Click on one of the document buttons:
