QM: Quote Monitor
Live quotes for your watchlists, with bid/ask, volume and a sparkline per ticker.
The Quote Monitor is your watchlist. It shows live (or delayed) quotes for every ticker in a list, and picking a row loads that ticker into every linked window: chart, profile, news and trade ticket.
Aliases: MON, QMON, W, WL, WATCH, WATCHLIST
