Start Bar

You can quickly navigate to any portion of the Volatility platform from the Start Bar at the top of any tool's page. Type the company name or symbol you’re looking to evaluate into the Start Bar and press enter to navigate to it. You can also use the up/down arrow keys and the enter key to navigate faster using the suggestions that appear. You could also use your mouse to click on the auto-complete suggestions.

By default, the Start Bar will navigate to the Volatility Backtester for your chosen stock or futures market. You can change this default navigation to the Volume, Opportunities, or Chart tools using the blue dropdown menu on the right of the Start Bar. Selecting a symbol will then navigate to those other tools automatically.
