The Ticker Tape lets you create a scrolling list of symbols directly on your workspace. It is designed to give you a quick, always-visible view of price activity across any group of instruments, using either your own custom portfolios or system-generated ones. The Ticker Tape is built to be flexible and lightweight, making it easy to monitor multiple symbols without interrupting your chart workflow.
Creating a Ticker Tape
- Open the Profile Manu in the top right corner
- Choose Ticker Tape
- Select Create new ticker tape
Running Multiple Ticker Tapes
You can create and display multiple Ticker Tapes on the same workspace simultaneously.
Each Ticker Tape operates independently and can have its own:
- Portfolio
- Display Style
- Sort Order
- Position (Above or Below)
- Speed and Animation settings
This allows you to monitor different groups of symbols at the same time. Some popular examples:
- "Your custom portfolio scrolling across the top of the workspace while major market indices scroll across the bottom."
- "Long-term holdings in one Ticker Tape and an active trading watchlist in another."
- "Separate Ticker Tapes for equities, ETFs, crypto, forex, or futures portfolios."
To create an additional Ticker Tape, repeat the steps in Creating a Ticker Tape and select "Create new ticker tape" again.
