Using the stock confirmation popup

The confirmation popup allows you confirm the stock and it's market before it is added to the monitor list.

This is important as the same symbol may be used on different exchanges.

Fig 1
If you try to add the symbol VOD to your monitor for example, a confirmation popup will appear containing a drop down menu. The drop down will contain various stocks from different exchanges around the world that use the symbol VOD.

Select the appropriate symbol from the drop down.
Then confirm your selection by clicking the OK button at the bottom of the popup.




Fig 2
When a symbol entered is unique to one exchange, or as in fig 2, the drop down options will not appear in the confirmation popup.
Click the OK button on the bottom of the popup to confirm the stock.

If you have entered multiple stocks the confirmation popup will contain a list of all the stocks you have entered with drop downs as and when they are needed.
