Getting Started with TrendSpider Mobile Companion
Upon opening the TrendSpider Mobile App and logging in with your TrendSpider account credentials, you will be met by the standard user-friendly split screen which has a chart on the top half and your watchlist at the bottom. There are some controls above the watch list designed to make it easy to switch between different watch lists and your list of alerts, which will contain any alert with any status. If you wish to customize the look and feel of the app, you may do so on your computer by logging into TrendSpider and customizing the “Mobile” workspace. Here, you can add and remove indicator options from the mobile app, customize automated analysis, change the colors of the charts, and more. Anything you change in the Mobile workspace will carry over to the app.In addition, all charts in the TrendSpider Mobile app will include your drawings and annotations on them already. You will not have to recreate anything, it will all be perfectly synchronized at all times automatically.
Watchlist
The “watchlist” on the mobile app automatically synchronizes with all watchlists from your TrendSpider account as well as all of the symbols in each list. At the top of the current watchlist, you can tap on the name of the list that is open to reveal the option to switch to another watchlist from the pull-down menu. Any modifications made to your watchlist on desktop or mobile will automatically carry over to the other. You can add new symbols from the mobile app to the watchlist by clicking on the “star” icon on the top right corner, and instantly the symbol will be added to the current watchlist you are viewing. To remove the symbol just click on the “star” again.
Alerts
The “Alerts Tab” is home to all of your TrendSpider alerts from the main TrendSpider system. Any alerts created, triggered or expired will be listed here. You can also filter the alerts to show only those for the symbol you are currently viewing by clicking on the “current symbol alerts” option.
Charts and full-screen functionality
To unlock the full power of the TrendSpider Mobile app, you will need to switch from split-screen mode to full-screen mode; which you can do by clicking on the square icon on the top right corner.
