Platform Features Release: Sandbox Trading Account, Order Status Filter & more
Announcing the latest Release of feature and functionality additions and enhancements to the trading platform to assist the investment/trading decision process.
Trading Sandbox Virtual Account
Announcing a new Virtual Account with fast execution, accurate tracking, and reliability you can depend on.
Unlike traditional broker-provided virtual accounts, the Sandbox is not bound by brokerage margin rules or limitations, giving you more freedom to practice and test strategies.
The Sandbox uses delayed market data. In addition to fast, reliable trade execution and accurate trade capture, it also handles options correctly, supports Conditional Orders for stocks, full Journal Support, and more!
Order Status Filter Buttons
The Order Status Tab filter buttons make it easy to locate previous orders
- All – Everything in the time period is shown on the tab (Today, 1 Week, 1 Month, etc.).
- Open- Orders that have not yet executed as an active Trade/Position – includes Waiting Conditional orders.
- Working – Bracket orders where the underlying stock order is an active position (Stop/Limit orders). Excludes Waiting Conditional orders.
- Filled – Executed orders whether to open/modify/close
- Canceled – Includes both manually canceled as well as day orders that did not get filled prior to the end of the Market Day
OCO Journal Tagging
OCO Orders are automatically tagged in the Journal.
Once the Stock Order is Executed (it is an active Position), the Limit and Stop orders are Live (active Orders for the duration selected: Day or GTC.)
If/when the stock hits the Limit price, that order will execute, and the Stop order will be canceled. The Journal tab will be green and display a Gain/Profit.
-OR-
If/when the stock hits the Stop price, that order will execute and the Limit order will be canceled. The Journal tab will be red and display a Loss.
**Note: Past Conditional trades will be tagged as “otoca-entry”, “otoca-target” and “otoca-stop”.
Delayed Streaming Quotes
Delayed Streaming Quotes will appear when you have a Virtual or Manual Account activated.
Click on the account tab so that it appears on the bottom left corner of your screen.
Extend Fibonacci Retracements on Charts
Fibonacci retracements can be extended right and/or left on the chart.
Click an existing Fibonacci annotation, then use the toggle switches to adjust it.
Don’t forget to “Save”
Note: Extend Right/Left can be edited/saved individually, not Set As Default.
Chart crosshairs
The cursor crosshairs on the chart have been adjusted so they no longer obscure the candlestick wicks
