Dave Barnhart shows how to customize Moby's interface with themes and color palettes, configure the Block Trade indicator, use Print Lookup with market-hour filters, and manage watchlists. He covers the three trade-type classifications: Intermarket Sweep, Form T, and Trade-Through Exempt.

In this video, we're going to customize Moby a little bit since you've had some time to play around with it. First off, we're going to look at some colors, hide some titles, we're going to look at some different ways to adjust the Block Trade indicator settings, we'll look at full screen, check out some prints on the Print Lookup, and review the watchlist. So let's get going. First, theme colors. Up here on the top right-hand side, we can change from Light to dark mode. Right now we're in a dark mode. So let's go through some of the color settings, which is just this paintbrush to the left-hand side. So we have grayscale, purple, ocean, sky, forest, sunset, and crimson. And then if we switch to the light mode, you can then see what they look like there. Grayscale, purple, Ocean, Sky, Forest, Sunset, and Crimson. So whichever you like, that's easy for you to look at. My preference here is the dark mode, and I like this blue. Next up, you have the option to hide the title on some of the menus. This gives you a little bit more space. I'm going to click this here. So if you see the Hide Title at the top, then that'll give you some more space here on whichever screen that you're looking at, if that option is available on that window. Let's go ahead and look at the Block Trade indicator here. What you can do with the Block Trade indicator is you can move your columns around. For example, say we wanted the time first, we can drag time over here. Then we can have the ticker price or size. So ticker size price, you can do something like that. You would have to set that for each individual card though, if you like. There isn't much data here with it being pre-market. All right. If you're looking for say full screen, we can hit F11. And also this hide title is here. So we could do that as well. Full screen, F11. That gives you full screen like that. So it says exit full screen. We can move our mouse up to the top to get the menu back, or we can just hit F11 again. That's on a Windows machine. Let's go ahead and look at the prints on the print lookup. So what I'm going to do here is we have Neo here at 6:21 AM Eastern time. So Neo, there's 98,000 shares. So if I click on this Neo, and remember it's $6.15, if I click on Neo here, We get a new tab, but we don't see it in the list because right now we're set to market hours. So as you dig into the weeds in Mobi, just make sure what you're looking at. Mobi is designed to get you the most actionable information at your fingertips. Most of the meaty trades occur during market hours. So when you're looking at something pre-market, post-market, you need to be wary of what selection that we actually have here. If we click pre-market, Then there's our $6.15. This was an intermarket sweep and a Form T and trade-through exempt. As a side note, what do these actually mean? What's an intermarket sweep, a Form T, and a trade-through exempt? Well, let's look at this. This here gives us the opportunity to open another window in Mobi. So I'm going to do that, and I'm going to go back to the home page by clicking up here. And then we're going to go and look at the help section. And if we look at the help section, we have the trade types. So down here we had Form T, then there's Intermarket Sweep down here, and we can actually read more about what this trade type is with examples of how it actually works. And then the other one was Trade Through Exempt. So we'll look down here, trade-through exempt. So those 3 conditions were attached to that one trade. So all of these working together, you'll be able to dig deeper into the weeds and see what those actually mean if you're interested. I'll close this. We'll come back to our page here. The other thing that we can do here is you have your watchlist, and I can choose the watchlist that I have from the list. So here's the watchlist that I have. We have the price change, volume, open, high, and low. We can select our columns here. So if I didn't want these ones, I can just get rid of them. Down here we can choose all conditions, which is a mix pre-market, market hours, and post-market as well. You can adjust your share size, minimum share size, for example, of 400,000. And you would have to do that on the right-hand side. There's also a calendar selection, and by default it's 60 days. You can go 90 days, 6 months, for example, and then the date actually changes for you. Same thing on the right-hand side. This is by default in the last year when you select this. So on the chart, it's showing you the top 10 voluminous trades in the last year, which is helpful in visualizing where the dark pool is buying and selling. Let's go ahead and look at watchlists. So here's a watchlist. You can adjust your column widths, for example, and you can select your columns. So say we didn't want the close, open, high, low, we could do that. Give yourself some more space there. So one thing we can do is we can add a bulk number of tickers at one given time. So where it says add ticker, if we have a comma in between all of our tickers, so for example SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA, FCX, BAC, XLF, anything like that, it adds them all. Instantly. So say for example you had a long list of tickers, you could just copy and paste them in there as long as there's a comma in between. Also note that whenever you click on a new ticker, it opens it in another tab. So the benefit of Moby is you could be referencing 7 different stocks, looking at prints, trades, things like that, and you will have these tabs across the top. I like it. For example, if I click a new tab and I go to my Block Trade indicator, for example, I can then break this page out onto another screen so I can always be watching my Block Trade indicator. The other thing with the Block Trade indicator is you can select all tickers, or if you unselect it, you can pick individual stocks. Then what'll happen is the individual stocks will show up here. You can also sort by columns, by ticker, by price, by volume, by above. All of these you can sort on all the way to your below. I hope you find this video helpful.
