LONDON, October 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Substantial Upgrade to the
Functionality of the WorldSpreads Dealing Ticket and Trade Blotter
Gives a Richer User Experience
WorldSpreads, a leading provider of financial spread betting
services, have announced the launch of a number of important
enhancements to their trading platform.
There have been substantial upgrades made to the look and
functionality of the dealing ticket and trade blotter to give a
richer user experience.
The new dealing ticket features include:
A deposit required calculation displayed on the dealing ticket
so the trader can be sure how much they require to be able to hold
a position. Also, the notional value of the bet is also displayed
on the dealing ticket.
A simpler method of attaching stops, limits and trailing stops
have been developed to assist the trader in locking in profit and
preventing their losses on individual trades being too great. The
ability to simply attach trailing stops should also help
WorldSpreads' clients let any profits run whilst cutting losses at
the same time.
Furthermore, the client now has the ability to set default deal
ticket settings so if they have a preferred stake, e.g. £10/€10,
this can be set, as well as the ability to hedge, always setting
guaranteed stops, one-click trading and the default stop type.
The new trade blotter features include an overview of all
current positions in one screen in both aggregated and
non-aggregated form as well as shortcuts to watch lists and the
charting facility. Overall, the ability to monitor open positions
as well as make quick amendments to them has been greatly improved
and the client has greater data trade metrics available
at-a-glance.
The rollout of the dealing platform enhancements will take place
over a number of deployments, starting with Spain and the UK.
Chief Executive Officer Conor
Foley, commented "We have long been committed to improving
the user experience of our clients and have been striving to build
a user interface that enables them to view all of the key data at a
glance. We have listened to comments from clients and it is this
insight that has driven the improvements. We won't stop with these
improvements and look forward to further evolutions of the dealing
platform so it supports users of all mainstream devices."
Spread Betting is a leveraged
product. It carries a high level of risk to your capital and, as it
is possible to lose more than your initial investment, it may not
be suitable for all investors. Therefore, ensure you understand the
risks involved and seek independent advice if necessary.
