What is the stock3 Market?
The stock3 Market is the central page, from where you can load a widget or a desktop. There, as well as on our
stock3 User Guide
you can find a review of all widgets and the different pre-set Desktops with short descriptions (detailed descriptions of all widgets can be found in our
stock3 User Guide).
Which browsers support stock3?

How do I load and display a widget?
Click on the icon showing the small monitor in the top menu bar. This will open a new, blank desktop.
Now click the Market button to open the stock3 Market
. The stock3 Market
menu is located on the left side.
Click on Widget
to get an overview of all widgets.
Now select those widgets which you want to load onto your desktop. To do this, click the plus (+) sign. Repeat this process for each widget you want to load.
For some widgets you still need to determine the value to be displayed in the widget. Just click on the menu bar (in the upper left corner of the desired widget) and then on Select Instrument (Instrument wählen)
. This opens an input window, into which you enter the desired value or its initial letter.
How do I create a set?
After you have loaded your desired widgets on your Desktop, you can connect them by grouping them into a set. To do this choose the same colour in the lower left corner of each widget. If you want to have more than one colour-coded set please use another colour for your next group of connected widgets. Now, by clicking on a specific topic or instruments within a set, you will automatically see the related topic/instrument in the connected widgets.
If you want widgets to remain connected but only in one direction (i.e. to send data, but not to receive any), select Widget
from the action menu, then choose Connect with Set (mit Set verbinden)
, followed by Receive Data (Daten empfangen)
. Note: Some widgets (such as charts) can receive data from others, but cannot send data.

This template will also save your preferred selected background colour (from a choice of only black or white). To find out how to save a default template, please refer to our
stock3 User Guide.
