Instrument Explorer

Saxo Bank's Instrument Explorer facilitates product charting and trading by enabling the fast location of instrument specific information.

The Instrument Explorer enables fast location of instruments from our vast range of products.

The Instrument Explorer helps locate and organise tradable instruments through the platforms, acting as a launching pad for all instruments. Once selected, an instrument can be charted or traded, whilst allowing information specific to that instrument to be viewed.

From the menus provided, a wide range of financial instruments can be explored, while double-clicking any individual instrument adds it to the Prices and Trade module on the platform. Three tabs allow the user to choose from the entire list of available instruments, search by typing the instrument name, and to select previously defined favourite instruments.

The Favourites tab can be used to select instruments recently traded (available through the Recently Traded Instruments folder) or those previously defined as favourites .

Searching and Filtering

The Instrument Explorer contains a number of options to facilitate the quick location of instruments:

  • Instrument recognition following insertion of a few letters of the instrument or company name
  • Deselect products to show only the products of interest
  • List instruments by industry sector

Launch Pad

Instrument Explorer provides a starting point for trading, charting and analysis functions.

On the trading platform following the selection of one or multiple instruments:

  • Right-click to open a trade module, price module or chart with the instrument(s)
  • Drag instrument(s) to an existing chart or trade module.

Users can add commonly accessed instruments to their Favourites lists to recall them quickly. Recently traded instruments can also be quickly recalled from the Favourites list.
