Key market data of the day
You can switch between a view of key market data of the day, including the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE)/Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) all-share index, currency and commodity indicators, and the top gainers and losers. You also have access to the Stock Exchange News Service (SENS) feed of JSE-listed corporate announcements.
Here you can access detailed company and share information along with market consensus recommendations.
Further down the dashboard, you can view your portfolio performance at a glance, including the top five gainers and losers.
In the news section you will find current SENS announcements and in our research section you will find our latest investment recommendations on local and international shares. This section helps you stay informed on corporate activity and reports. Our analysts also post their investment research notes here, so you can have the latest information at your fingertips.
To keep an eye on shares that you are interested in, simply add them to watchlist.
You can add companies to as many watchlists as you like, with all the relevant data on the share and company performance available to you.
You can drill down from the watchlist to the share information page where you can get detailed current and historical performance and analysis data.
A new feature on the watchlist page is the inclusion of recent SENS announcements from companies on your watchlists.
You can also put price alerts on selected shares to receive notifications when these shares reach a specific price.
This is one of the most powerful features of our online share trading platform, offering advanced tools that any trader would need. In addition to creating customised charts that show you what you need to know, you can view other crucial market information such as dividend payout dates and rankings of shares by value.
