Answers

• What’s changed on the Pro platform?

  • Upgraded charting package
  • New market and corporate calendar
  • Additional company profile research

• What new data is available under Company Profile?

  Important fundamental data including Income statements, balance sheets, cash flow, valuation and profitability ratios are amongst a host of information available via the new company profile module.

  This fundamental information is powered by investment research and management firm Morningstar and is constantly updated with the latest financial results. You can choose from annual and quarterly results and view up to the last 10 years’ worth of financial results.

• What new alerts are available?

  A new ‘Alerts’ column has been added to Watchlists, Positions, Orders and P&L modules that highlights if any news has been reported within the last 24hours.

• What does the new corporate calendar offer me?

  The Pro platform now includes a Corporate Calendar module, allowing you to stay informed of upcoming announcements relevant to the products you trade.

  A range of announcement types are available which you can toggle on/off individually to filter the results to only those you are interested in.  

  A number of quick action links are available on the far right of the module to allow you to view key fundamental data, including theScreener & Morningstars Equity Research reports as well as the latest Reuters news

• What does the new market calendar offer me?

  Our new real time economic calendar, powered by Thomson Reuters, displays information on important market-moving events, such as GDP, inflation rates and employment. You can view the date/time of the announcement, potential market impact, previous/forecast, actual results and much more.

  A number of filters are available at the top of the calendar to help you easily identify the events that matter to you. You can filter by date, country, and event name and market impact. If you apply filters to the calendar, the relevant tab in the header will be highlighted blue. The calendar also allows you to set alerts against any announcement.

• What’s new in charting?

  We have completely overhauled the chart menu design to provide you additional functionality and to make searching for tools and favourites easier.

  Top Menu Bar

  We have removed a number of features from the top menu bar and moved them to the base of the chart module. You’ll now see additional features on the top menu bar including a number of quick links to various popular chart settings, hide/show value box, change chart theme, increase font, hide/show gridlines and more.

  Bottom Menu Bar

  Timeframe slider, Draw tools, Technicals and our new Pattern feature has been added to the bottom of the charts, alongside your selected favourites.

  You can now save up to five charts per product and access these through the products context menu or via a new icon in the header of the chart. When opening the chart from anywhere on the platform (Main Search & Module Search) or when using module linking the last opened chart will be displayed by default.

  • You can hide and show the menu options by clicking on the open tab.
  • We have included the ability to search where applicable

   

• What’s new with comparison charts?

  We now provide the ability to compare the price action of multiple products on one chart. Simply drag and drop a product from your Watchlist into the price action area of any open chart and release.

  • The comparison chart will load based on the timeframe of the primary instrument. If the secondary instrument did not trade during a specific period, then a flat line will appear over that timeframe
  • You can drag and drop a slider to position where you would like performance to start from (this slider will appear on the far left of the module)
  • You can compare price action on any interval

• How have the chart intervals changed?

  We have merged the Pro and standard stockbroking chart history in this build. Therefore, the number of intervals supported has reduced.

• What if I want to fit more charts onto my screen?

  You can now reduce the minimum size of charts even further so you can fit more information on screen. The smallest chart size supported is two times Quote Panel high by one Quote Panel wide.
