Welcome to PULSE

Getting Started

When you log on to Paritech's secure site you will be asked to input your username and password. These details were allocated to you by Paritech when your account was initially opened. (If you do not have a valid username and password, please contact Paritech).

Once you log in - a 'Desktop' will open.

Working With Market Information Displays

The first time you open the application the screen arrangement is comprised of the 'Default' Desktop.

The PULSE platform is designed as 'windows' docked within a 'Desktop' to allow a range of views to suit any individual. To see pre arranged examples of 'Desktops'  you can select from five options in the drop down 'Desktop' section on the top Right Hand Corner of the open platform window.

Users can create and save their own 'Desktops' at any time.

You will find a Watchlist as a docked window within all desktops. We are now able to add  securities to our Watchlist by typing in the securities of your choice and enter, or even display Market Depth and/or Sales for any security of our choice. Once you have included the securities you wish to monitor, we can then save this combination of displays (that is, Watchlist, Market Depth and Sales) as a desktop.
Right Click mouse functions allow you control the selected window to set the columns you prefer, add portfolio columns within a watch list, or tailor the window view to suit individual preferences.
Opening New Windows

Opening a new window can be done in one of two ways:

1. Choose any menu item from one of the desktop menus i.e. Prices or News and Research. All windows that open from these menus can be docked anywhere on the desktop. See below for instructions.
 
2. Right click inside an existing open window then select New from the menu, then the window service you would like to open.

Please note, the size of all windows can be changed by moving the mouse to the window joint, selecting the left mouse key and dragging the window size to your preferred dimensions.

The Automated Docking function is an advanced yet easy to use feature of PULSE. Inner Windows can be displayed floating or docked in various configurations. The docking process is intuitive.  You simply drag a window to the desired location, then drop the window at the docking site or in another window.
While dragging, a grey rectangle shows the location that the window will have when released. To enable docking select 'Windows' and 'Docking Enabled'
