Platform Navigation
Let’s explore the basic navigation and key features of the Optionomics platform.
Watchlist
At the top of the page, you’ll find your watchlist—a customizable collection of your favorite stocks. The platform provides a default set of popular stocks to get you started, but you can easily customize this list to match your trading interests.
Key Feature: The watchlist is context-aware, remembering both the page you’re viewing and the selected date, making navigation seamless as you analyze different stocks.
Search Box
Use the search functionality to quickly find any stock symbol. The search feature is also context-aware, maintaining your current page settings and selected date when you switch between stocks.
