These instructions will explain how to create a Watch List of Australian Securities in Bodhi5. If you do not have Bodhi5 installed on your computer, please refer to this tutorial: .

The Watch List appears on the opening screen of Bodhi5. You can add symbols from any exchange you have subscribed to.
The Watch List displays the following fields:

Date	The last date you have downloaded data for this symbol.
Price	The close price for the date [above].
Move	The percentage this symbol has either gone up or down in price since it's last trading date. If the entry is in black the price has gone up whilst red indicates the price has fallen.
DivYield	Dividend shown as a percentage of the last sale price of securities.
EPS	Measures the earnings that are attributed to each ordinary share over a twelve month period.
Sector	The GICS sector this symbol is classified under.

Please Note: you can sort on any of these fields by clicking on the column heading (i.e. Sector).
