Adding New Exchanges

To add a new exchange to TradingSolutions, press the Add New… button. This will display the Specify Exchange Characteristics Dialog.

After you define a new exchange, it will be made available in the lists of exchanges available throughout TradingSolutions.

Modifying Current Exchanges

To modify the settings associated with currently defined exchanges, select an exchange and press the Edit… button. This will display the Specify Exchange Characteristics Dialog.

User-defined exchanges can be deleted by selecting the exchange and pressing the Delete button.

Ä    Note: Exchanges required by TradingSolutions cannot be deleted.
