Rates, Alerts, News and Sounds

Why current rates change colors?
If a rate changes color to green, it means the rate in that cell just updated and is higher than the previous one. If a rate changes color to red, it means the rate in that cell just updated and is lower than the previous one.

When does the Change column reset?
Each trading day session starts at 17:00 EST / EDT (New York local time) so the Change columns reset at that time.

Why # symbols show up instead of rates?
When there is not enough space for Streamster to show certain value in a cell, # symbols are shown instead. The application does that so if a part of a number is missing you do not see a wrong number. Simply place your mouse on the border of the column heading where the # symbols appear, then click and drag until you see all of the data.


How can I select which instruments I will see?
To subscribe to updates for a chosen market instrument: click button in a price window. Under Subscribe section, click the text field and type in the desired market instrument name. You can also specify a part of a name: for example, typing A will display all market instruments that have letter A in their names. Click button. Within the search results box, double-click the name of any market instrument you wish to subscribe to. The name of the market instrument will appear in the box with active subscriptions. Click to confirm your subscriptions.

How do I interpret market alerts?
Market alerts notify you about a current or future event on the market. Alerts are triggered 5 minutes before the scheduled event is about to take place. There are many different abbreviations used in language that describe alert notifications. These are abbreviations for economic institutions, instruments, businesses, reports, processes, etc. You can find detailed information on these and similar terms and abbreviations at http://www.wikipedia.org/ web site.

Who provides news in the Latest News window?

Marketiva collects news articles from various sources on the internet, extracts summaries and provides links to external web sites where the news articles were originally published.

How to setup sound, voice and visuals?
To setup sound, voice, chat features, and other Streamster settings, please click on the button located at the top of the application window.
