Let’s note that the latest (beta) version of the TWS platform offers improved news and research in order to make it easier for traders to find the content they really want to read.
Traders can use the Advanced Search to open the new News Reader. They can search by topic, symbol, or keyword or any combination of these, and use conditions (and) (or) (not) for more precise results. Also, they can save their search for future viewing, and add their saved search as a Mosaic news tab.
Furthermore, traders can use the updated News Configuration section in Global Configuration to further filter their saved searches on symbols, topics & keywords, article types, news providers, and language.
In addition, users of the platform can configure a custom “Research” tab using a saved search that’s filtered by the topics and research providers they prefer.
