•Double left mouse click in a Blank row under the Instrument column to get a flashing text cursor.  After the cursor is showing in the row you can type in the symbol of your choice and press enter to add the instrument.

Editing an Instrument Row

To change an instrument, double click on an existing Instrument cell which will give you a flashing text cursor, allowing you to edit the instrument to a new instrument of your choice.

You can rapidly add a list of instruments to the Market Analyzer window.

•Press down on your right mouse button in the Market Analyzer window and select Add Instrument(s) > and then select the desired "Instrument List" and then Select All.  Please see the Instrument Lists section of the user help guide for additional information on creating, editing, and deleting Instrument lists.

Creating an Instrument List

If you have a Market Analyzer setup with a number of different instruments you would like to save for later, you can quickly add the entire display of instruments into an Instrument List for quick access.

•Press down on your right mouse button in the Market Analyzer window and select the menu Create Instrument List , then give the Instrument List a unique name and press OK.

You will now be able to access this list from other features of NinjaTrader using the Instrument Selector.  You can further edit this list by using the Instrument Lists window

Label rows are user defined and can be used to separate groups of instruments in any way (by asset class, instrument list, etc.).

Adding Label Rows in the Market Analyzer Window

Press down on your right mouse button inside the Market Analyzer window and select the menu Add Label Row.  Once the Label row is added you can type in any user defined name.

Editing the Label Row Name

If you have an existing Label row you wish to go back and change the text, double clicking on the exiting Label row text will give you a flashing cursor, allowing you to type in a new name for the Label row.

Dynamic Sorting within Label Rows

Instruments you drag or add under a Label row will "auto-sort" with only the other instruments under the same Label row. For example, if you have one Label row for futures and one for stocks, when you sort the columns, the instruments listed under the futures label would be sorted only against other instruments under the futures label, while instruments under the stocks label would be sorted only against instruments under the stocks label.  For more information on ranking and sorting within the Market Analyzer see the Dynamic Ranking and Sorting section of the user help guide.
