including government, corporate, and municipal bonds, among others.\n\nIn this course, we\u2019ll walk you through how to use these tools\u2014 namely how to create and configure fixed income-related watchlists, how to navigate the advanced market\u2014 and global bond scanners, and how to use a dedicated bond scanner layout to chart the performance of securities, as well as make order entries.\n\nBy the end of this course, you should learn how to search for, select, analyze, and make investment decisions about specific fixed-income products.\n<h3><strong><u>Sample Fixed Income
