Board View
As shown in Figure 6.9, this comprehensive display tool shows you selected data on a group of chosen stocks and indexes you like to watch. For example, you might create a real-time display of last price, yesterday's close, change from close, today's open, change from open, and volume. All of these can be valuable indicators to the prepared trader.
Top Ten Window
Another aid for choosing stocks to trade is a window that will display, in real-time, a list of the top ten in such categories as: volume, gainers, losers, percentage gainers, percentage losers, etc., as shown in Figure 6.10.
