<h3>How to manage your positions and view your history</h3>

Here’s how you can customize your watchlist by adding, removing, and rearranging symbols<ol><li>Alternating between simple and advanced view</li></ol>Before we show you how to manage your watchlist, it’s important to note that there are two different views: “Simple view” and “Advanced view”. The simple view shows the bid and ask prices of the instruments on your watchlist while the advanced view shows additional information including spread, timestamp, the low and the high of the day.In iOS, and from the quotes tab, you can quickly alternate between the two by clicking on the view of choice in the top middle of your screen.For Android, you can do so by clicking on any of the symbols in your watchlist, and then clicking on the simple view or advanced view mode. (Figure 1)<ol><li>Adding new symbols</li></ol>To add a new symbol, click on the plus sign. From there, you can either search for a specific symbol, or find it by browsing through the categories.Once you click on the symbol of choice, exit the screen by clicking done for iOS or the back button for Android, and you will see the requested symbol at the bottom of the watchlist.<ol><li>Customizing the watchlist</li></ol>Now that we have added a symbol, let’s look at customizing the watchlist further. The pen icon allows you to rearrange symbols or delete them off your watchlist.&nbsp;To rearrange the symbols, click and drag the three horizontal lines next to each one and move to the desired location on your watchlist.To delete a symbol, click the round circle next to it. Once the symbol is highlighted, click on the garbage can icon to delete it.&nbsp;For Android, start by clicking on the garbage can icon then selecting the symbol you are trying to delete by clicking on the box. Once done, click on the garbage can icon again to delete them. (Figure 2)On a final note, it’s worth noting that the full name of certain symbols will vary according to account type.
