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`

## Columns

Each row shows **SEC** (ticker), **NAME**, **LAST** with a **LIVE**/**DELAYED** tag, **NET** and **%CHG** change, **BID** and **ASK**, **VOL** and a **SPARK** intraday line. Prices flash when they tick. Select **Sort by** in the window menu to order the list by any column.

## Lists (monitors)

You can keep several lists, for example *Core*, *Credit* and *Miners*. Switch with the list name at the top left or the window menu, create one with **+ NEW** or `QM NEW`, and rename or delete it from the window menu. Signed in, your lists sync to your Roxom account.

## Add and remove tickers

- Select **+ Add ticker…** or type `QM ADD` and a ticker.
- Right-click any ticker anywhere and choose **Add to Quote Monitor**.
- To remove one, select the row and choose **✕ REMOVE**, press <kbd>⌫ twice, or use the row's menu.

## Load a ticker everywhere

Click a row twice, or select it and press <kbd>ENTER. Every window on the same link group switches to it. **LOAD** at the bottom does the same for the selected row.

## Window menu

Open **▾** in the title bar (or right-click the window) for QM's options:

| Menu item | Shortcut |
