tap on a symbol to access an additional menu that will allow you delete the symbol (delete row), open the symbol in a different window type (chart, news, etc.), or send the symbol to all window types (send to all pages).

portrait vs. landscape view

esignal mobile can be viewed in either portrait or landscape view by tilting your device accordingly. please make sure that the screen orientation isn't locked in order for this feature to work. some features such as the chart are best viewed in landscape view while others such as the hot list are best viewed in portrait view.

detailed quotes
the detailed quotes window provides detailed information on a particular symbol in your watch list. you can customize the order of the headings using a swipe motion. additionally you can add/remove the fields to further customize this screen.

chart window

the chart window is one of the main features of esignal mobile. the chart type defaults to an area chart.

the chart contains markers to indicate earnings (e), dividends (d), 52 week high (h), and 52 week low (l) details. tap the bar data to reveal new icons that will allow you to change the chart type between candlestick, bar, line, and area.

in the top left corner of the screen you can enter a new symbol. the + icon allows you to add a symbol in a new pane, add a symbol overlay, and add a symbol to the existing pane.

scroll back and forward on the chart using a drag gesture (tap the screen and move left or right).

the scroll gesture is disabled if you activate the data window. the data window can be toggled on or off using the icon in the bottom left corner. once the data window is activated you'll see a cursor that can be moved around using the drag gesture. at the bottom of the chart you'll find arrows that allow you to scroll the chart forward or back. toggle the data window off in order to restore the normal drag forward and back gesture.
