TradeKing Adds Advanced Charting, Integrated Options Tools and New Alerts to Award-Winning TradeKing LIVE Platform

New Features Designed to Give Traders More Power and Control Over their Trading Experience

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--()--Online stock and options broker TradeKing Securities today announced the latest upgrades to its TradeKing LIVE trading platform. The innovative TradeKing LIVE HTML5-based platform caters to any type of investor, from the most active and sophisticated to buy-and-hold investors, by offering a powerful, modern trading experience across any device. TradeKing LIVE is available to all TradeKing clients for no additional fee. The TradeKing Live platform received the #1 Broker Innovation Industry Award in StockBrokers.com's 2015 Online Broker Review.

“Investors of all skill levels need ways to trade smarter, better and faster -- whether they’re at their desks or on their mobile devices,” said Kevin Delo, TradeKing’s Chief Information Officer. “When we launched TradeKing LIVE in December 2014, we made a commitment to our clients to introduce new features and functionality on an ongoing basis, all designed to help give them an edge in today’s ever-changing investment world. We believe the new charting, alerts and option tool enhancements we’ve made will make TradeKing the most compelling low-cost trading experience on the market.”

New Advanced Trading Functionality Puts Investors in the Driver’s Seat

  • Market Events:
    • A new Home Page widget alerts traders of dividends and earnings announcements on companies they’re tracking in watchlists, in holdings, or on their order status.
  • Significantly Expanded Charts:
    • A completely revamped charts tool, now with more than 80 streaming technical indicators, 10 drawing tools, and the ability to compare symbols, better enables traders to leverage technical analysis to drive investment ideas.
  • New Integrated Options Tools:
    • Includes streaming option chains, a strategy workbench that allows traders to analyze position Greeks and the net quote of all the option contracts in the strategy quickly, a probability calculator that calculates the probability of a stock/ETF/index hitting a price target by a selected date, and a Profit and Loss calculator that helps traders analyze the P&L of a potential trade over time. All of this can be done quickly and seamlessly on an integrated, live streaming platform before placing an order.
  • New Alerts Center:
    • This time-saving feature lets traders set stock and option alerts (e.g., pricing, earnings, corporate actions, options expirations) and write notes on alerts.
  • Top Story:
    • This new Home Page widget updates throughout the market day with top news stories from Benzinga.

"I like the look and feel of TradeKing LIVE, and appreciate the flexibility the platform offers to accommodate my particular trading style," says TradeKing client Suthat Naruenartwanich. "TradeKing LIVE is easy to navigate, the charts are straightforward to use, and the holdings module is clear and simple. I was able to set my holdings module up next to my charts, so I can conveniently monitor both as I trade."

The company expects to roll out additional TradeKing LIVE upgrades in the fourth quarter of 2015.
