Watch · Home: your home market's grid

A grid of names in your home market. With a broker that serves quotes it carries the order book and live ticks in market hours; without one it runs on the free feed. Names are found as you type and confirmed before they are added.

What it shows

The grid. Symbol and exchange, last price, day move, open, high, low, previous close, volume, the fifty-two week low and high. With a broker that streams, the last price flashes green or red as it ticks and a HI or LO badge marks a name trading at the day's extreme. Where the broker serves levels, the book columns show the best bid and ask.

Results ahead. Under the grid, the home market's results calendar for the names on the list, where the market has one (India and the United States do).

The session badge at the top says whether the home market is open, and which market that is.

Where each number comes from

Number Source
Quotes, levels, live ticks Your broker, where it serves quotes for the market
Quotes with no broker Yahoo's free feed, filtered to your home market's exchanges
Results calendar The exchange's own calendar for markets that publish one; the free feed otherwise
The listing behind a name you type The broker's security master where it has one, else Yahoo's search

Without a home market

With no broker and no country picked in Settings the screen says so ("no home market set") and takes plain Yahoo symbols. Pick a country under Home market on Settings and the grid takes that market's shape. Readers whose home market is the United States see Watch · US instead, and this entry is hidden by default.
