Ticker Lookup

Press Space and start typing.

When you type more than 3 characters, or if the first 3 characters you type do not correspond to a stock code, Spark will display a list of the closest matching stocks.

Dates and Times

When viewing Depth, Trades, Charts, Announcements, and Market Announcements, you can enter a date or time.

Press Space, type the date, and press Enter.

Spark will accept times like:

• 10:20
• 10:20:30

Times prior to 7:00 are automatically converted to afternoon time. e.g. 2:00 will be interpreted as 14:00.

And dates like:

• Jan 23
• Jan 23rd
• 23rd Jan 2023
• 2023-01-23
• Yesterday
• Today

The following days of the week will choose the weekday in the 7 days prior to the current date.

• Monday
• Tuesday
• Wednesday
• Thursday
• Friday

You can also append a time to the date:

• yesterday 11:20

The following abbreviations are accepted and may be used when a weekday clashes with a stock:

• @today
• @yes
• @mon
• @tue
• @wed
• @thu
• @fri
• @sat

Depth

When replaying already:

• If you enter a date without a time, then it will change the date but keep the time of day. e.g. If you pause a replay at 11:30, and then type "yesterday", it will change to 11:30 on the previous trading day.
• If you enter a time without a date, then it will change the time and keep the date.
• If you enter a date with a time, then it will change to that date and time.

When not replaying:

• If you enter a date without a time, then it will start replaying from 10am on that date.
• If you enter a time, then it will start replaying from that time today.
• If you enter a date with a time, then it will start replaying from that date and time.

Others

Trades, charts, announcements, and market announcements will scroll that time in to view.

History

Use Up and Down to scroll through text you have previously entered.

e.g. if you entered a time to replay depth at, you can type Space Up and edit that time.

To execute a search on a previous entry, type ?. When the prompt is showing a search, then Up and Down scrolls through the search results, not the history.
