To view detailed market data in a table for a particular security, select Price Data from the View Menu:
An Enter Symbol dialog will appear. A Symbol Search button is also available if you do not know the symbol.

The user can view the precise market data for the security in a table, and can edit the daily data in the table.
The table has a heading area containing details of the symbol and its display:
Each record of data appears sequentially as a row in the table beneath the heading area.
The data fields displayed will depend on the type of symbol.
For example an equity will have the following data fields: Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, Bid, and Ask.
Futures will have all of these, and in addition have the Open Interest field.
Each data record has its own row.
It is listed and numbered sequentially from oldest at top to most recent at the bottom.
The Date of the data is displayed after the number, as are the data for each field.
The data in the page can be manipulated using the commands in the function bar:
The data in the table can be updated, or data for a newly selected symbol can be retrieved.

Select the Copy to Clipboard command (or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C) to copy the entire range of data in the current Price Data window to the Windows clipboard.
The compression Interval will determine the type and amount of data that will be copied. For example a Daily setting will copy data for each day, copying the data table with a Monthly interval setting will only copy price data summarized for each month.
The data can be pasted into other applications such as Excel, Word, or other spreadsheet or word processing software using the Ctrl+P keyboard shortcut or the internal editing processes of the application.
