Use the Feature Search

The comprehensive Search returns a categorized list of application-related results with links that will open a window, add a column or display a feature. Use the Search to add contracts to your trading page based on search criteria.

To use the Search field

In the top right corner of a main Quote Monitor, enter a word or phrase in the Search field and hit Enter.
On the Search Results page, check Application to view all TWS-related occurrences of the search topic, and check Contracts to see all contracts with the search topic in the title.

Using the Search results

For application-related results, clicking a link will perform the search related action based on the results category. For example, if you clicked OptionTrader from the Open Window category, TWSwould open the OptionTrader window, or bring you to that window if it's already open.
For Add Contract results, clicking a link will open a ticker line on the last active trading page with the search item as the contract in focus. From this point you can either add the contract, or click the Find button to broaden your search by company name.
