The Quote function is responsible for displaying live, dynamic pricing information (or quotes) on securities, indices and currencies.
There are three primary uses of the Quote function:
viewing ad-hoc price quotes for companies, indices and foreign exchange
viewing a system generated watchlist of quotes based on the stocks comprising an ASX index
creating and viewing a custom watchlist of quotes.
In this topic you will use Quote to view pricing information for a selection of codes. By default the Quote function opens at the top left of the application.
Select the menu path Pricing > Quote. The Quote command opens.
In the Watchlist/Code box, type BHP.
Click Request to the right of the Watchlist/Code box. Quote details display.
In the Watchlist/Code box, replace BHP with NAB and click Request again. A NAB quote is inserted above the BHP quote.
Repeat step 3, adding quotes for the following codes:
TLS
WOW
XAO - All Ordinaries Index
AUDUSD - Australian Dollar - US Dollar.
You have created a list of ad-hoc quotes detailing live pricing information for the codes entered. The list will be lost when you close the Quote command.

Tip: When you hover the mouse over a code in a watchlist, a ToolTip displays the description of the code, as shown below. |
The next topic shows you how to save this list of codes as a watchlist.
