How to Set up a Quotes List

This month’s article joins together a few key elements for those new to Safety in the Market – the Smarter Starter Pack and ProfitSource software. I’ll get straight into it with some instructions:

•  Open ProfitSource
•  Quotes -> New Quote List
•  Click the “Add” button (a small “+” sign icon)
•  Enter Symbol “NW-SpotV” (i.e. the Wheat futures chart page symbol)
•  Click OK

•  Click the “Add” button
•  Enter Symbol “SB-SpotV” (i.e. the Sugar futures chart page symbol)
•  Click OK

•  Click the “Add” button
•  Enter Symbol “PL-SpotV” (i.e. the Platinum futures chart page symbol)
•  Click OK

Repetitive? Yes you bet – but that’s what it takes to become a master! Do it for a few more. Add the following:

•             FXADUS
•             CBA:ASX
•             NK-SpotV

You can add more, you can add less. You can add your own. At least, for now, you have a stock, a stock index, a commodity and a currency. So now what? Hit the SAVE icon and give your Quote List a name. If you have done everything right so far you should see something like the following:

So now that we have a Quote List, what things can we do with it? For an example, follow these instructions:

• Each instrument in your Quote List will have its own row. Click on the “Price Chart” icon on the left-hand side of the first row. See below:

• Then, all things going well a chart should open. Click on the “HiLites” button (a small light bulb icon above the chart space).
• Click on ABC Points – Long
• Click on ABC Points – Short

Again, if you have done everything right you should see similar to the following:

Now have a play with it – the F4/F3 keys will move you forwards/backwards between the chart symbols in your quote list. If you have any issues in doing this, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line at tradingtutors@safetyinthemarket.com.au.

Work hard, work smart
