Instrument Monitor, a tabbed window, tracks a single instrument across multiple timeframes and chart types with multiple studies and indicators in a spreadsheet view. You cannot trade from this monitor.
Monitors can be used to emphasize the values of indicators used to make trading decisions.
They are especially helpful with asset classes, such as equities, that require you to look at a wide range of instruments to expose opportunities.
These monitors require an enablement.
Opening Instrument Monitor
Click the Monitor button on the application toolbar, and then click Instrument Monitor.
Or right-click the Monitor button, point to Add Monitor, and then click Instrument Monitor.
If the Monitor button is not displayed, then click the More button, and then click Monitor.
You can also click the Symbols button or the Quote button.
To add buttons to the application toolbar, use Toolbar Manager.
To open the monitor from a chart:
1. Right-click the chart.
2. Point to Convert to Monitor. There must be a study applied to the chart for this option to be active.
3. Click Create New. If you already have a monitor open, then you have option to add a new one or add a contract to the existing monitor.
The 1-minute bar chart in the image includes the moving average study. The monitor reflects this chart type and interval as well as this active study.
