This tab, accessed by selecting Data Sources/Proxy from the Options Menu or the MENU button on the main screen, is used to select the indices that you want to show on the Indices Panel on the main screen.

 

 

Select the Index Quote Source Site you want to use for your indices from the drop down list and whether or not you want them to update if you choose to hide the indices panel on the main screen.

 

If the selected source requires a login, it will appear below the selected site.  Enter or change the login and password here, as required.

 

Index Display can be set to Extended (full description) or Brief (symbol only).

 

Select the refresh period (in seconds) for the indices and the active times that you want them to update. Note the "refresh" applies to and will only and will only be shown for snapshot sources, not streaming, which update continuously as updates come in.

 

Select/deselect the indices you would like displayed by clicking on them in the built-in list.  To select/deselect the whole section, click on the section name.

 

You can also add your own indices, not on the list, by entering the symbol and a description. They will be added to the User-added Indices in the list. Click on the ones you want to appear in the Indices panel.  Check on the website you select for your source to see the exact symbol to be entered.  Each site has a different format for the index symbols.

Note, that not all the sources may support User-added indices.

Select the index and use the up and down arrow buttons or drag and drop the index name to move the index to a new location.  Click OK to set the new index display order.
