Getting started

Jump anywhere with the command bar

One keyboard shortcut takes you to any ticker, page, or action without hunting through menus.

Where: Press Cmd-K (Mac) or Ctrl-K (Windows), or tap Search

The command bar is the fastest way around EarningSpike. Open it from anywhere and start typing.

Open it

  • Cmd-K on Mac, or Ctrl-K on Windows
  • Press / on the Home or a stock page to start searching right away
  • On your phone, tap Search in the bottom bar

What you can do

  • Find a ticker. Type a symbol and press Enter to open its page. Your recent tickers show up first.
  • Go to a page. Type "screener", "calendar", "movers", "lists", and jump straight there. Common nicknames work too, so "scanner" finds the Screener and "gainers" finds Movers.
  • Run an action. Open Alerts or your Account and Settings without leaving the keyboard.

Get around with the keys

  • Up and Down arrows move through the results
  • Enter opens the highlighted result
  • Esc closes the bar

Once this becomes muscle memory, you rarely need the menus at all.
