What trader resources have been added to the platform?
Back To Top
We've added Autochartist trade ideas and technical analysis (see below for more detail), expanded the Economic Calendar and expanded Trading Central research.
Autochartist, an independent research provider, scans charts for all products and time intervals during market hours to uncover trade ideas for both novice and advanced traders.
- Trade Ideas- Concise and easy to understand, trade ideas contain entry levels, stop loss and take profit levels for currencies and metals.
- Emerging & Completed Pattern Recognition- Identifies where breakouts are emerging or have already occurred, and visually illustrates levels at which support or resistance is expected to help determine potential trade opportunities.
- Quality Indicators- Display the quality of each chart pattern and trade idea to help you plan your next move.
To access Autochartist analysis, click on Research and Ideas in the main navigation and then choose either Patterns or Trade Ideas within the Autochartist section.

What updates were made to Account Summary information?
Back To Top
Account Summary has been updated to display Required Margin and Available Margin, which are updated in real-time. The Available Margin represents the difference between the Tradable Balance and the Margin Utilized. The Required Margin is the required equity that a trader must have to hold a position. It is calculated by multiplying the current price by the number of units traded and by the margin required ratio for the product. And you can also see your Required Margin by product within the Open Positions window. To view a full summary of your account, click on the Account Summary meter in the lower left corner of the platform.
| We've expanded the information available within the dealing boxes to include the Low, High and Current Spread for greater market insight and price transparency. |
