LINKED WATCHLISTS

Linked lists allow you to create a read only watchlist that is linked a file on your computer that includes symbol and position data. Changes made to the file will be updated in MarketPro.

1BSample Linked List Copy the table below into a spreadsheet program e.g. Excel. Replace symbols with actual security symbols. Symbol is the only required field. You can add/edit/remove additional headers from the table at the end of this section. Then save the file as a .csv file. For Excel, the steps are File/Office button > Save As > Save as Type: CSV (Comma delimited)

Symbol Pfshares Entry Price Entry Date

AAAAA 1500 123 12/15/2013

BBBBB 2400 234.44 12/15/2013

CCCCC 800 34.33 12/15/2013

DDDDD 200 88.76 12/15/2013

To link a file:

Select the action/gear icon from the top of the watchlist window then select Add new linked list

• Navigate to the folder containing the file and select the file • Select Open

selecting the action/gear icon followed by Reload Linked Symbol List, and select the list(s) to be refreshed. You can also save the linked list as a workspace or online list which will then allow changes (note that changes to the file will then no longer change the workspace or online list)
