About price rate on Guidants

By default, the rates are available in real-time. This can be checked with the real-time button, which should light up green. The button is located in the left navigation bar directly under the Settings icon (bottom left of the screen). If, on the other hand, you want to receive stock exchange prices with a 15-minute delay, simply click on the real-time button. The red light signals that the course is now displayed with a delay.

The Guidants Market is the central page from which you can load widgets or desktops. There, but also on JFD Bank’s Guidants user manual page, you will find an overview of all widgets and the various preset desktops with brief descriptions (detailed descriptions of all widgets can be found in JFD Bank’s Guidants user manual ).

Difference between Basic member and Pro member

To actively use Guidants, you need a BasicMember, which is free. This allows you to use all Guidants functionalities (e.g. trading, saving charts, desktops, watchlists and writing comments). With Guidants PRO you have some additional advantages, e.g. larger storage capacities, access to additional widgets and much more.

How do you create a set?

After you have arranged your desired widgets on your desktop, you can connect them together and arrange them in a group. To do this, select the same color in the lower-left corner of each widget. If you want more than one color-coded set, use another color to link a group of widgets together. If you now click on a specific topic or instrument within a sentence, you will automatically see the related topic / instrument in the associated widgets.

If you want widgets to stay connected, but only in one direction (e.g. to send data but not to receive data), select Widget from the action menu, then select Connect with Set followed by Receive Data Note: some widgets ( e.g. charts) can obtain data from third parties, but cannot send any data.
