Add position to portfolio

To add positions to your portfolio, you have the following two options, for example:

Open the quick search by using the "Instrument search" icon and select the security.
Or drag and drop the security from another widget into the portfolio.

To record a "buy" transaction:

Go to the "Portfolio" widget.
Open the corresponding portfolio from the drop-down list.
Then click the "Instrument search" icon in the widget and select a security from the list or search for it by using the input field of the quick search.
Then, record the transactions for the purchase in the "New Instrument" dialogue window.

If the purchase date is in the past, the historical exchange rate may be displayed.
Complete the purchase with the "Buy" button.
The security appears with the entered data as a position in the portfolio.

When you drag a security from a different widget, the "New instrument" dialogue window for entering transaction data opens at once.

From result lists of the screener, you can quickly add instruments to portfolios. For more information, see Add instruments from Screener to existing portfolio.
