ADD SECURITY TO WATCH LIST

This page allows you to add/updated securities on your watch list.
You can have up to 25 securities in each watch list and 20 watch lists.

The minimum requirement when adding a security is the 3-letter Security Code, all other fields are optional. However, you can also chose to enter a historical base date, elect to have company announcements for this security emailed to you, and set an email price alert.

Base Date
The base date field is optional.
If no date is entered it will automatically default to today’s date, if today is a market day, or the previous market date.
If a date is entered that is earlier than the date we begin capturing price information for the security then the base date will be changed to the market date we began capturing the price information.

The watch pages provide two views, Today and Baseline.
The base date is used by the baseline view to determine the base price.
The market price (at the end of trading) for the base date is compared against the current market price of the security to show its change in value.
