Add a Trading Page

You can create up to 26 trading pages. You can enter as many lines of market data as you want, but at any one time you will only be able to see 40 active market data lines at a time. Use the trading pages to sort your assets by instrument type, exchange, or your own trading system categories. You can navigate through the tabbed pages without the mouse by using the Ctrl key along with the Page Up and Page Down keys. Use the icons on the active page to detach it from TWS, or to delete the page.

You can also use a page-level feature called Quick Stock Entry, which will automatically complete a market data line for a stock using the set of order destinations you set up.

To create a populated page using current positions

This creates a page with one market data line for each position you hold. These positions are displayed in the Portfolio section of the Account window. Each time you take a position, the Portfolio page is automatically updated to include market data for the new position. When you zero out a position, the market data line remains on your Portfolio page. You can remove zero position tickers from this and other pages using the right-click menu on a page and selecting Clear Zero Positions.
