Trader Workstation
Search by name
The trading platform is designed in a way that enables searching for securities by simply entering the company name. To do this, enter the company name in the Financial Instrument column of any watchlist and press Enter. A window will appear, displaying a list of titles and financial instruments. Select the desired title, and click OK to add it to the watchlist.
Search by ticker symbol
Alternatively, you can use a ticker symbol in the Financial Instrument column. When you do this, the TWS will display a list of all the available products associated with that particular ticker symbol. From this list, you can select the specific product you’re interested in.
For trading stocks, you’ll have two options: Stock (SMART) and Stock (Directed). If you select the SMART feature, the system will search for the best available price for that title across exchanges and dark pools. On the other hand, if you select the Directed feature, you will be directed to select a specific exchange and the order will only be transmitted on that chosen exchange.
Search by ISIN
Sometimes, it’s useful to search for a specific financial product using its ISIN code. The ISIN code uniquely identifies a security and can be for example used to swiftly locate a certificate with specific details. When you input the ISIN in the Financial Instrument column and press Enter, a new window will pop up with a list of exchanges where the product is traded. At this point, you need to select the relevant exchange and click the Add button. The product you have selected will then be added to the watchlist.

If necessary, you can expand the list of available financial instruments for that specific title by tapping the downward arrow in one of the search categories located below the entry field.
