A couple cheat sheets with useful functions and their shortcuts can be found in the Home section.
Some of the functions used in this section:
Searching for commodities can be performed in the same way as we are used to from the command line (described in the Searching for securities section).
Note that the recommendations from the command line often represent various futures contracts, so adding "spot" to the search can sometimes be helpful if trying to get spot prices and not futures contract (see example below):
There is also a function called SPOT (Commodity Spot Prices), which allows us to quickly discover commodity spot prices.
Use the amber box on top or filters on the left to find the desired commodity. Its currency, last price, source and time will be shown.
When searching for futures, a few contracts will appear from the command line, but for finding a specific one, functions such as SECF (Security Finder) can be used for help.
To access a list of global commodities markets and compare them, use function GLCO (Global Commodity Prices).
The displayed list can be broken down into 3 categories, namely Energy, Metals, and Agriculture. Above the table, some preferences can be set for the data. By clicking on one of the three (as shown below for Metals), the category gets expanded and thus, prices for more commodities of the category are shown.
The view below is now broken down further for Metals category.
By clicking on an individual commodity's name, it gets selected as the loaded security and thus, functions from the command line will be from now on applied to this commodity.
On the other hand, clicking on the little chart in the 2Day column will transfer you to function GIP (Intraday Price Chart) for this commodity.
