The Instrument Explorer enables fast location of instruments from Saxo Bank's vast range of products.
The Instrument Explorer helps locate and organise all instruments tradable through the Saxo Bank online trading platforms, acting as a launching pad for all instruments. Once an instrument is selected, it can be charted or traded, while information specific to that instrument can also be viewed.
From the menus provided, a wide range of financial instruments can be explored, while double-clicking any individual instrument adds it to the Prices and Trade module on the platform. Just three tabs allow the user to choose from the entire list of available instruments, search by typing the instrument name, and to select previously defined favourite instruments.
The Favourites tab can be used to select instruments traded recently (available through the Recently Traded Instruments folder) or those previously defined as favourites .
Searching and Filtering
The Instrument Explorer contains a number of options to facilitate the quick location of instruments:
- Type just a few letters of the instrument or company name
- Deselect products to show only the products of interest
- List instruments by industry sector.
Launch Pad
Instrument Explorer acts as a launch pad for trading, charting and analysis functions.
On the trading platform, after selecting one or multiple instruments:
- Right-click to open a trade module, price module or chart with the instrument(s)
- Drag instrument(s) to an existing chart or trade module.
Save Favourites
Users can add commonly accessed instruments to their Favourites lists to recall them quickly. Recently traded instruments can also be quickly recalled from the Favourites list.
