New features offer greater control

We’ve added a number of exciting new features designed to make your trading experience faster and more intuitive:

Pop charts out of the platform into a separate browser window
Add, remove and reorder table columns
Quick search means your five previous searches are remembered
View open and close prices from your watchlists
Load your favourite modules into full screen mode, including watchlists and market calendar

Module snapping

The new module snapping feature enables you to ‘snap’ (and unsnap) two modules together and automatically link them:

Attach a chart to your watchlist, and link modules like positions lists and the product library
Update both modules simultaneously, drag them around the platform and go full screen
Reuters news now has stories attached, so you can read each story instantly

Seamless integration with HTML5

We’ve moved our web-based trading platform over to HTML5 coding language, the latest evolution in website programming. HTML5 offers improved cross-browser support and means there is no requirement for third-party plug-ins like Flash. HTML5 results in a faster and even more secure trading experience.

We recommend using the Google Chrome web browser to achieve optimum performance and stability when accessing our platform and charts.

Pattern recognition scanner

The pattern recognition scanner has been redesigned for a more user-friendly experience. Separated into emerging, breakout and performance tabs, the new layout has a smaller minimum size, enabling the scanner to fit into your regular workspace. New features include the ability to go ‘full screen’, quick links to chart patterns, improved filter and search options and a summarised performance tab showing the total success of all patterns in one view.

Account module

Customise the account module to suit your preferred layout. You can now add, remove, reorder and sort columns within the positions, orders and history tabs. We’ve also added the option to filter history module results by event type, and filter rows by search terms such as order number, instrument name, event type or amount.
