What is a Focus window
The "Focus" window gives the user a quick overview of one specific instrument. The symbol field can show either the symbol ticker or full symbol name of the instrument. The price field allows the user to select between last bid or ask, and below either change +/- change +/-% or both are displayed. At the bottom, the change indicator will display the current trend based on the price field. The right part of the window consists of a range panel, with values in both ends displaying today's high and low. An arrow indicates where the price is according to high/low, and the bar will be red on negative since open and blue on positive.

The "Focus" window can be customized by going to the "Settings" menu in the window > select "Setup".
