SECURITY VIEWS
The Security Views function gives
you the power to conduct a customised search and view the daily performance of
shares that match your search criteria.
The Security Views function can be
found in the vertical menu on the Direct Broking website, highlighted below:
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
The Security Views function is helpful when you are researching a share,
or looking for a share with certain characteristics, because
it allows you to customise your search options and specify requirements that are
appropriate for your investment strategy.
As shown in the examples below, you can select from different values to view a
list of shares that relate to the criteria you have selected.
It is best to conduct a search during market hours because the results of your
search are based on current trading prices and movements. The New Zealand market
is open from 10am to 5pm, and the Australian market is open from 12pm to 6pm
(NZT).
CONDUCTING A SEARCH
SORT BY:
% Change
Sort securities by percentage change and show the change in price for a security
as a result in on-market trading as a percentage of the OAP (Opening Adjusted
Price).
$ Change
Sort securities by price change and show the change in price for a security as a
result of on-market trading.
Volume
Sort securities by volume of shares traded.
Value
Sort securities by value of shares traded.
SHOW:
Top
Display the top, or highest, 20 securities for the SORT
BY category that you
have selected.
Bottom
Display the bottom, or lowest, 20
securities for the SORT BY category that you
have selected.
FILTER:
Last Price
Filter the Top or Bottom 20 securities based on their Last Traded price.
SEARCH EXAMPLE 1 - Percentage Change
Shares that have had the greatest percentage (%) change during today's trading
and have a share price greater than, or equal to, $5.00.
SORT BY: % Change

As demonstrated below and based on the search criteria above, the search results
show the highest percentage change displayed at the top of the list (Mainfreight
with an increase of 3%) and the lowest percentage change is displayed at the
bottom of the list (Fletcher Building with a decrease of 0.6%). The highest
