Pretrade Analytics Toolbar

Near the top of Neovest's Pretrade Analytics window is a horizontal row of features and icons that is referred to as the Pretrade Analytics window toolbar.

pretrade toolbar

The icons in the Pretrade Analytics window toolbar are designed to let you access a Neovest feature or window with a single click.

The following table describes the function of each of the features and icons in Neovest's Pretrade Analytics window toolbar:

Feature: Description:
Sym (Symbol) Lets you enter a ticker symbol, which lets you evaluate the potential of a specific symbol order, prior to sending the order for execution.
Order Size
order size icon
Lets you enter a size for a pretrade order.
Buy
buy
Lets you specify a buy or sell pretrade order.
Link/Unlink Window
Lets you link or unlink a Pretrade Analytics window to or from other Neovest windows that are open on your screen. All open Neovest windows that are linked will load the same symbol; therefore, if you double-click on a symbol displayed in an open QuoteWatch window, then an open Pretrade Analytics window will automatically load the same symbol. As you click on the "Link Window" icon, the image of the link will change to appear either intact or broken. If the link appears intact, then a Pretrade Analytics window is linked to other Neovest windows that are open on your screen; if it appears broken, then it is not linked.

Note
: For information regarding linking a Pretrade Analytics window to "All" open Neovest windows or to only certain windows that are on the same channel, refer to the following "All" instructions in this table.
All
all
Lets you choose to link a Pretrade Analytics window to "All" open Neovest windows or to only certain windows that are on the same channel. Neovest provides 20 different channels to which you may link windows. For instance, you may choose to link two open Neovest windows to channel "1," which will cause the two windows and any other windows that are linked to "All" to automatically load the same symbol. All other open Neovest windows that are not linked to "All" or to channel "1" will not load the same symbol.

Note
: For information regarding why you may wish to link and unlink a Pretrade Analytics window to and from other Neovest windows that are open on your screen, refer to the preceding "Link/Unlink Window" instructions in this table.
CPS/BPS
cps icon
bps icon
Lets you toggle between cents per share (CPS) and basis points per share (BPS). A basis point is .01 percent of the entered symbol's current price.

Further features may be accessed by clicking the gear icon, located on the far-right of the toolbar.

The following table describes the function of each icon in the drop-down menu but does not explain in detail the features or windows associated with certain icons. As questions arise concerning any of the features or windows discussed in the following table, refer to the "Orders" chapter in Neovest's Help documentation for further assistance.
