WatchList
This widget offers a convenient view of your preferred instruments while at the same time allowing you to customise the data that is displayed. You have the opportunity to choose between 1-43 column values for any instrument and you can transform the WatchList anytime into a Barometer, Heatmap, and other widgets, such as TopFlop Table, according to your needs. A quick pop-up menu gives you the opportunity to set alarms, open charts and the order placing mask, and more.
JFD Depot
Gives you an overview about your account status and trades. You can monitor your trades, balance, equity, margin, profit and loss, or you can set new trades. Your open trades, pending orders, cancelled ones and closed positions are sorted in different tabs so you will never lose track of your trading strategy. There is a button for opening the order placing mask as well.
Chart
All indicators are integrated and easily accessible directly through the chart. Ten different chart types, as well as correlation charts, are available. You may save your preferred charts, customise the colours, use templates or logarithmic scaling. The option to pre-set loading rules and include the chart widget in a set allows you to open an exact combination of charts with the right time frames and settings, with a single click on a preferred instrument.
Heatmap
Keep an eye on the hottest instruments in a particular group. Heatmap can be included in a set with a list of indices for example, so that with a single click, you can see which stocks are the best and worst performers. A quick pop-up menu gives you the opportunity to set alarms, open charts and the order placing mask, see news and more.
Shortview
Put any instrument, sector (or index that combines many instruments), into a Shortview where you may choose if you want to see the Bid or Ask price of the symbol. As with other widgets, the pop-up quick menu appears just by hovering your mouse over an instrument allowing you to open charts, set alarms, open the order placing mask, see news or more info about the instrument.
Fundamental Charts
Gathers the most important fundamental parameters and statistics for any selected share in one place. Just select from the drop-down menu the information you need for the selected share to see it in the form of a chart or table. Switch between chart and table view with the ‘Chart’ button.
KeyFacts
With the help of this widget you can receive key facts, like information about the management team of a company, ownership distribution or the main industry the company specialises in, for any selected share. Choose the share from the menu and select the required information from the dropdown menu.
Barometer
Scales the stocks from a certain index or sector according to their performance. Use the Multi-Screen option available on this and almost all of the other widgets to allocate them in your preferred way. From the action menu of the widget you can transform it anytime to either Heatmap, WatchList or any other widget. The bars in the chart are clickable and present the stocks which have similar performance in tables.
Economic Calendar
From the action menu of the chart you can select preferred regions or categories which are important to you. The Calendar Widget can also be connected in a set and personal events set up to help you trade the fundamentals.

In order not to miss when important price levels are reached, the trader may set price level alarms. You may leave comments for a trade or chart formation, and set up to be reminded with the activation of the alarm.

you have a few added benefits, such as increased storage capacities, access to additional widgets, and more.
What is the Guidants Market?
The Guidants Market is the central page, from where you can load a widget or a desktop. There, as well as on our Guidants 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 Guidants User Guide).
Which browsers support Guidants?
