Applying Predefined Watchlists<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe first step in applying predefined watchlists: (1) Click on the \u2018plus\u2019 symbol in the Monitor panel, then (2) select Predefined Watchlists from the menu that appears.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll then see (3) a list of available choices, including predefined watchlists for U.S. Treasuries and Corporate Bonds, which contain price and yield data.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\")
<\/p>\n
U.S. Treasuries (On-the-run)<\/strong><\/h4>\nEven if you\u2019re not a fixed-income trader, you may want to know how yields are performing across the U.S. government bond curve.<\/p>\n
To do this, select the U.S. Treasuries (On-the-run) predefined watchlist to obtain a snapshot of the yield curve. Here, you\u2019ll see the latest prices for three\u2014 and six-month bill maturities, as well as two\u2014, five\u2014 and 10-year notes, and the 30-year Bond.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The watchlist displays change in price and percentage, as well as the corresponding mark yield.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll also see two options on the watchlist \u2013 Copy and Add. While we\u2019ll address the \u2018Copy\u2019 function later in this lesson, for now, simply (1) click Add to (2) append the watchlist as a tab to your Monitor panel.<\/p>\n
U.S. Treasuries (All Except STRIPs)<\/strong><\/h4>\nNow, repeat the above process starting from clicking on the \u2018plus\u2019 symbol in the Monitor panel. However, this time, select the predefined watchlist U.S. Treasuries (All except STRIPs) for a more complete yield curve and (1) add this as a tab to the Monitor panel. Once you do, you\u2019ll notice (2) a far lengthier list of maturities when scrolling down through the securities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
U.S. Corporate Bonds<\/strong><\/h4>\nTo apply the predefined watchlist for U.S. Corporate Bonds, begin the above process by clicking on the \u2018plus\u2019 symbol in the Monitor panel, selecting Predefined Watchlists from the menu that appears, and (1) adding U.S. Corporate Bonds. This predefined watchlist (2) displays the last traded price and change on the day for those U.S. corporate bonds that are most actively traded.<\/p>\n
The Financial Instrument column provides information about the specific corporate bond by the issuing entity\u2019s ticker, coupon, maturity date, and IBCID \u2013 IBKR\u2019s unique identifier. Small red and blue circular badges that follow this string of information offer further details, and if you hover your cursor over any of these, you\u2019ll see, for example, whether its purchase is restricted to only qualified institutional buyers, or if the bond has been called.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Configuring Watchlists<\/strong><\/h4>\nAlthough the market data for predefined watchlists are fixed, you can configure them by using the \u2018Copy\u2019 function mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n
Follow the process from the start by clicking on the \u2018plus\u2019 symbol in the Monitor panel and selecting Predefined Watchlists from the menu that appears.<\/p>\n
Select the predefined watchlist for U.S. Corporate Bonds again, but this time, instead of clicking \u2018Add\u2019, (1) click \u2018Copy\u2019. When you do, you\u2019ll be prompted to (2) enter a new name \u2013 for example, you may call it \u2018US Corp Bonds 2\u2019 or another name of your choosing, and then (3) hit \u2018Save\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, (1) switch over to \u2018My Lists\u2019 in the Browser box, and you should (2) find your \u2018US Corp Bonds 2\u2019 (or otherwise named) watchlist under the \u2018Available\u2019 section. When you select it, you\u2019ll see you can either \u2018Add\u2019 it as a tab or explore \u2018More Options\u2019. The \u2018More Options\u2019 box enables you to rename the watchlist, copy it again, or delete it. Since you\u2019ll want to apply it, simply (3) select \u2018Add\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you do, the \u2018US Corp Bonds 2\u2019 (or otherwise named) watchlist is (4) added as a tab to the Monitor panel with all the same information that was in the predefined U.S. Corporate Bonds watchlist. However, it looks a little different, and it operates a little differently, too. For instance, there are additional columns for financial instrument, as well as last traded price and change on the day, with empty cells that you can use to search for, and add, your own specific bonds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adding Data Fields<\/strong><\/h4>\nWhile we\u2019ll show you how you can search for, and select, specific fixed-income securities in a later lesson, for now we\u2019ll demonstrate how you can add more data fields that may further help you make trading decisions.<\/p>\n
Since the plan is to add multiple columns, you\u2019ll want to adjust the size of the Monitor panel to accommodate the new data.<\/p>\n
To do this, (1) click on this \u2018padlock\u2019 icon, which unlocks the Mosaic workspace. You\u2019ll then see a green border appear, which indicates that any of the tiles in the workspace can now be added, moved, removed. or resized. Go ahead and widen the Monitor panel, then click on the padlock icon again, and (2) select \u2018Save Changes\u2019 to lock the resized panel into place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is now plenty of space to add columns, and there are two ways to accomplish this:<\/p>\n
\n- Hover your cursor above any existing column header, and you\u2019ll see (1) a pop-up box, where you can insert a column or remove the one you\u2019re on. When you select \u2018Insert Column\u2019, you\u2019ll then see (2) a floating menu, which provides a host of choices organized by category.<\/li>\n
- For example, you\u2019ll see a list of selections under the \u2018Financial Description\u2019 category, one of which is (3) \u2018Company Name\u2019. When you select this, a new column with company names is added to your watchlist, and the floating menu disappears.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that you\u2019ll need to repeat this process for each new column you\u2019d like to add.<\/p>\n
\n- Right-click on a column header and select \u2018Insert Column\u2019 from the pop-up menu. From here, the floating menu will appear, where you can find the data you\u2019d like to add. In this menu, locate the category \u2018Bonds\u2019, and from among the many fixed-income-related choices, add \u2018CUSIP\u2019, which is a bond identifier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
Repeat this process again for \u2018Coupon\u2019, \u2018Payment Frequency\u2019, \u2018Bid Yield\u2019 and \u2018Ask Yield\u2019. For live quotes, repeat the same process, but select the \u2018Prices category\u2019 to add market \u2018Bid\u2019 and \u2018Ask\u2019 prices.<\/p>\n
Lastly, you can move any column to the right or left by simply clicking and holding the cursor on the column header, then by dragging and repositioning it to where you want it to place it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Coming Up Next<\/strong><\/h4>\nNow that you\u2019ve become familiar with how to apply and configure watchlists in TWS, we\u2019ll next explore how to search for, and select, specific fixed-income instruments to add to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Repeat this process again for \u2018Coupon\u2019, \u2018Payment Frequency\u2019, \u2018Bid Yield\u2019 and \u2018Ask Yield\u2019. For live quotes, repeat the same process, but select the \u2018Prices category\u2019 to add market \u2018Bid\u2019 and \u2018Ask\u2019 prices.<\/p>\n
Lastly, you can move any column to the right or left by simply clicking and holding the cursor on the column header, then by dragging and repositioning it to where you want it to place it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nTo apply the predefined watchlist for U.S. Corporate Bonds, begin the above process by clicking on the \u2018plus\u2019 symbol in the Monitor panel, selecting Predefined Watchlists from the menu that appears, and (1) adding U.S. Corporate Bonds. This predefined watchlist (2) displays the last traded price and change on the day for those U.S. corporate bonds that are most actively traded.<\/p>\n
The Financial Instrument column provides information about the specific corporate bond by the issuing entity\u2019s ticker, coupon, maturity date, and IBCID \u2013 IBKR\u2019s unique identifier. Small red and blue circular badges that follow this string of information offer further details, and if you hover your cursor over any of these, you\u2019ll see, for example, whether its purchase is restricted to only qualified institutional buyers, or if the bond has been called.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/IMAGE-4_2022-0328_Corp-Bonds-Predefined-Watchlist.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Configuring Watchlists<\/strong><\/h4>\nAlthough the market data for predefined watchlists are fixed, you can configure them by using the \u2018Copy\u2019 function mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n
Follow the process from the start by clicking on the \u2018plus\u2019 symbol in the Monitor panel and selecting Predefined Watchlists from the menu that appears.<\/p>\n
Select the predefined watchlist for U.S. Corporate Bonds again, but this time, instead of clicking \u2018Add\u2019, (1) click \u2018Copy\u2019. When you do, you\u2019ll be prompted to (2) enter a new name \u2013 for example, you may call it \u2018US Corp Bonds 2\u2019 or another name of your choosing, and then (3) hit \u2018Save\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, (1) switch over to \u2018My Lists\u2019 in the Browser box, and you should (2) find your \u2018US Corp Bonds 2\u2019 (or otherwise named) watchlist under the \u2018Available\u2019 section. When you select it, you\u2019ll see you can either \u2018Add\u2019 it as a tab or explore \u2018More Options\u2019. The \u2018More Options\u2019 box enables you to rename the watchlist, copy it again, or delete it. Since you\u2019ll want to apply it, simply (3) select \u2018Add\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you do, the \u2018US Corp Bonds 2\u2019 (or otherwise named) watchlist is (4) added as a tab to the Monitor panel with all the same information that was in the predefined U.S. Corporate Bonds watchlist. However, it looks a little different, and it operates a little differently, too. For instance, there are additional columns for financial instrument, as well as last traded price and change on the day, with empty cells that you can use to search for, and add, your own specific bonds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adding Data Fields<\/strong><\/h4>\nWhile we\u2019ll show you how you can search for, and select, specific fixed-income securities in a later lesson, for now we\u2019ll demonstrate how you can add more data fields that may further help you make trading decisions.<\/p>\n
Since the plan is to add multiple columns, you\u2019ll want to adjust the size of the Monitor panel to accommodate the new data.<\/p>\n
To do this, (1) click on this \u2018padlock\u2019 icon, which unlocks the Mosaic workspace. You\u2019ll then see a green border appear, which indicates that any of the tiles in the workspace can now be added, moved, removed. or resized. Go ahead and widen the Monitor panel, then click on the padlock icon again, and (2) select \u2018Save Changes\u2019 to lock the resized panel into place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is now plenty of space to add columns, and there are two ways to accomplish this:<\/p>\n
\n- Hover your cursor above any existing column header, and you\u2019ll see (1) a pop-up box, where you can insert a column or remove the one you\u2019re on. When you select \u2018Insert Column\u2019, you\u2019ll then see (2) a floating menu, which provides a host of choices organized by category.<\/li>\n
- For example, you\u2019ll see a list of selections under the \u2018Financial Description\u2019 category, one of which is (3) \u2018Company Name\u2019. When you select this, a new column with company names is added to your watchlist, and the floating menu disappears.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that you\u2019ll need to repeat this process for each new column you\u2019d like to add.<\/p>\n
\n- Right-click on a column header and select \u2018Insert Column\u2019 from the pop-up menu. From here, the floating menu will appear, where you can find the data you\u2019d like to add. In this menu, locate the category \u2018Bonds\u2019, and from among the many fixed-income-related choices, add \u2018CUSIP\u2019, which is a bond identifier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
Repeat this process again for \u2018Coupon\u2019, \u2018Payment Frequency\u2019, \u2018Bid Yield\u2019 and \u2018Ask Yield\u2019. For live quotes, repeat the same process, but select the \u2018Prices category\u2019 to add market \u2018Bid\u2019 and \u2018Ask\u2019 prices.<\/p>\n
Lastly, you can move any column to the right or left by simply clicking and holding the cursor on the column header, then by dragging and repositioning it to where you want it to place it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nWhile we\u2019ll show you how you can search for, and select, specific fixed-income securities in a later lesson, for now we\u2019ll demonstrate how you can add more data fields that may further help you make trading decisions.<\/p>\n
Since the plan is to add multiple columns, you\u2019ll want to adjust the size of the Monitor panel to accommodate the new data.<\/p>\n
To do this, (1) click on this \u2018padlock\u2019 icon, which unlocks the Mosaic workspace. You\u2019ll then see a green border appear, which indicates that any of the tiles in the workspace can now be added, moved, removed. or resized. Go ahead and widen the Monitor panel, then click on the padlock icon again, and (2) select \u2018Save Changes\u2019 to lock the resized panel into place.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/IMAGE-8_2022-0330_Add-Columns-to-Corps_1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
There is now plenty of space to add columns, and there are two ways to accomplish this:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Hover your cursor above any existing column header, and you\u2019ll see (1) a pop-up box, where you can insert a column or remove the one you\u2019re on. When you select \u2018Insert Column\u2019, you\u2019ll then see (2) a floating menu, which provides a host of choices organized by category.<\/li>\n
- For example, you\u2019ll see a list of selections under the \u2018Financial Description\u2019 category, one of which is (3) \u2018Company Name\u2019. When you select this, a new column with company names is added to your watchlist, and the floating menu disappears.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that you\u2019ll need to repeat this process for each new column you\u2019d like to add.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Right-click on a column header and select \u2018Insert Column\u2019 from the pop-up menu. From here, the floating menu will appear, where you can find the data you\u2019d like to add. In this menu, locate the category \u2018Bonds\u2019, and from among the many fixed-income-related choices, add \u2018CUSIP\u2019, which is a bond identifier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n
Repeat this process again for \u2018Coupon\u2019, \u2018Payment Frequency\u2019, \u2018Bid Yield\u2019 and \u2018Ask Yield\u2019. For live quotes, repeat the same process, but select the \u2018Prices category\u2019 to add market \u2018Bid\u2019 and \u2018Ask\u2019 prices.<\/p>\n
Lastly, you can move any column to the right or left by simply clicking and holding the cursor on the column header, then by dragging and repositioning it to where you want it to place it.<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve become familiar with how to apply and configure watchlists in TWS, we\u2019ll next explore how to search for, and select, specific fixed-income instruments to add to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
