FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Continuing to deliver against its mission to provide clients with a modern and innovative online trading experience, online broker TradeKing today announced it has begun rolling out the first features of its all-new TradeKing LIVE platform. TradeKing LIVE will now cater to any type of investor, from the most active and sophisticated to the less active buy-and-hold investor, all from one powerful website that delivers a consistent trading experience across any device. To view screen shots of the new platform, visit http://marketing.tradeking.com/page/tk-live/.
“Most online brokerage sites look and act the same way they did 10-15 years ago, yet the digital user’s expectations have come a long way since then,” said Kevin Delo, CIO of TradeKing. “We designed the new TradeKing LIVE to mirror the flexibility, ease and clean simplicity of the more modern experience, like that found on an iPhone, yet still offer the power and advanced functionality any trader could want. This initial rollout of TradeKing LIVE is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the features and enhancements clients will see in the months ahead.”
Features to Make Online Trading More Useful and Flexible
