Features Release Notes:
New Scans, Journal Summary, Analytical Graphs, Earnings Sort feature on select Scans

We’re pleased to announce the new version of the Trade Tool Trading Platform.  Previous Releases provided the framework for new features and enhancements made available on this Release.
Cutting-edge technology enables the platform to Adapt and Respond to available space on Desktop and Tablet devices upon which the platform is viewed.


Platform utilizes Adaptive Technology

The platform now utilizes “adaptive” and “responsive” technology.  This means the platform will take advantage of the screen size made available to it.

If you have a larger screen, it will stretch the content to fill.  The result will be longer, viewable watch lists, options chains, and vertically filling content.

Tablets will stack content which creates a much better experience in Portrait View.


Enhanced Reconciliation in Journal

Reconciling trades is important and necessary for the Journal to accurately display Analytics including Win/Loss ratio.  Analysis can be done by Symbol, Account, Tags, Date Range by using the ‘Refine By’ button selections.

Now it’s easier to review such trades.  The following notice appears, giving you the ability to view all trades in the selected account(s) needing reconciliation.

Clicking  “Reconcile” on the individual trade tab allows you to confirm the outcome of the trade:

Scans and Earnings/Dividends Calendar offer 4 sizesExtra Small to Large.


New “Insight” Tab in Journal

The new Insight Tab in the Journal offers visual feedback on your trading activity.    The graphs are responsive to and update automatically based upon criteria selected including:

  • Trading Account
  • Symbol(s)
  • Tags
  • and/or Date Range

The top graph shows the overall activity, as well as Winners & Losers.

The middle line graph displays profitability or losses over the date range selected.

The bottom bar graph shows profit/loss by trade in the selected date range.


Color Coding Accounts

Each trading account can be assigned a unique color from the Account Summary Tab.   Each Trade or Order entry within this account will display this color tab in the Journal for easy account identification.


Journal Activity Line

The Journal Activity Line is customizable.   Once this indicator is added to your Chart Profile, simply click the Gear icon  to adjust settings:

Enter ‘Line Width‘ as well as other adjustments you wish to make on this Indicator , including Open/Close color/size and Profit/Loss line colors.

When completed,  click “Add” to close the Journal Display Box and update display.


New Symbol Verification

Symbols will automatically update if an invalid symbol is entered and a new symbol exists.

If a symbol is not recognized, an Error notice will popup notifying the user of this.    By clicking “Report Error“,  the system will automatically research, and, if valid – add the symbol to the platform.

This process helps eliminate incorrect symbols from being added to the platform.


“Go Big” Button added to Strategy Template

Trade Detail of a Trade Finder Scan now includes a “Go Big” option button on the P/L graph.
