Adding Instruments to Markets

You can add instruments to Markets and subscribe for their market data. When you subscribe for an instrument's market data, a new row is automatically added to the display. You can use the robust search feature to find an instrument, or you can use the market explorer to browse for instruments you might want to trade.

The easiest and quickest way to add an instrument is to use search. To search for an instrument:

1. Tap the + icon at the top of Markets.

   Search is the default action when adding an instrument, as indicated by the highlighted Search tab, so you see a search field, as well as a list of recently-picked instruments. If you see the desired instrument in the list, simply tap it, and it will be added to Markets.

   

2. Tap the search field to bring up the mobile keyboard, start typing any identifying information about the instrument, such as its symbol or its related commodity. For example, you could type ES, e-mini, or 500 to show the available E-mini S&P 500 contracts.

   As you type, the list of matching instruments is automatically filtered to match your criteria.

   

3. Tap the instrument you want to add.

   The selected instrument is added to Markets.

If you prefer to browse for potential instruments, you can use the Market Explorer to filter instruments by exchange, product type, and product. To browse for an instrument:
