Windows Tab

The Brokerage Plus Windows Tab enables you to control the Brokerage Plus Grid Windows. In addition to that, you can turn the Privacy Mode as well as the Profit Continuum on and off.

Show Brokerage Plus Windows

If you have the various Brokerage Plus Windows open as Grids, the function Show Brokerage Plus Windows will bring them all to the top of the program or open them if they’re minimized in the Taskbar.

Minimize Brokerage Plus Windows

If you have the various Brokerage Plus Windows open as Grids, the function Minimize Brokerage Plus Windows will minimize them in the Taskbar.

Symbol Linking

Brokerage Plus is symbol-linked, which means that when changing the stock symbol in one of your Brokerage Plus Tabs or Windows (e.g. the Positions Tab), your symbol-linked Single Stock Window and Chart will automatically change as well and display the specific stock’s data. By default, all symbol-linked Windows belong to the blue Color Group. The assigned color will always display in the top left-hand corner of each window.

You can create additional Linking Color Groups and by doing so, link selected windows to a specific Chart or Single Stock Window.

Grid Windows List

If you have the various Brokerage Plus Windows open as Grids, you will see each grid window listed in the Windows Tab. A click on it will bring the Grid window to the front when it's hidden behind other windows or minimized in the Taskbar.

Pinned

Unlike the other Trade Ideas Windows, the Brokerage Plus Window is Pinned by default. This ensures that your Portfolio Manager stays open, even when switching layouts, or toggling through channels. Learn more about Pinning here.

Show Profit Continuum

You can enable or disable to show the Profit Continuum, which will provide an overview of the traded stock symbols and their profitability.

Privacy Mode

When Privacy Mode is enabled, your Account Number, as well as your Account value, will be hidden, which protects you when sharing your screen with others.

Save to Cloud

Once you have made adjustments to your Brokerage Plus Window, arranged its layout, rearranged columns, and set up Trading Strategies or Entry Order Templates, make sure to save it to the Cloud for future use.

Enter a new name into the Title field or keep the automatically added one.

Enter a description for your Brokerage Plus Window or leave the Description field blank.

If you would like to automatically close any other open layout or channel in the future, whenever you load the Window, select Clear Previous Layout.

If you would like to load this scan on top of any already opened layout, leave this checkbox blank.
