Part 1: Visual Trading Platform Functions & Features
I. Introduction
1. Overview
The Visual Trading System software is an innovative, convenient and powerful tool, yet it is
easy to use. The software enables a trader to perform a multitude of tasks, including chart drawing,
application of technical tools, placement of orders, position analysis and control. Moreover, the
Indicator Builder – a unique, totally new and exclusive feature of VT Trader – permits the user to
design customized trading systems.
The VT Trader software package is frequently updated. Users will be notified of such updates
and will be able to use them immediately.
One of the major advantages of trading with Capital Market Services, LLC is that there is no
fee or any other charges at all for using the VT Trader software. Regardless of whether you have
opened a demo or live trading account, the service is completely free and available to everyone.
2 The Starting Point
The dealing station is an online application that enables the user to trade foreign currency
contracts on the spot market. In addition, it provides important auxiliary functions such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Instant direct access to account status
Real-time dealing rates
Charts
Technical analysis tools
Live news feed
Detailed reports and summaries of all transactions
The Navigation Window is your primary tool for navigating through VT Trader’s many features.
You can select trading windows, open charts, layers and technical studies, including the Indicator
Builder.
When you log in for the first time you can choose the “Arrange by Default” option from the
“Windows” drop-down menu on the toolbar of the Navigation panel.
However, you can customize the main screen to include any reasonable number and
combination of windows. For example, you may substitute all auxiliary windows with chart panels for
different currency pairs, or the same one but reflecting different time periods (from tick-by-tick to
monthly). You should find which main screen setup works best for you.
The green light at the bottom of the Navigation Window indicates that your PC is securely
connected to the remote server. The light changes to red if the connection is lost.
If, for example, your Internet service provider experienced technical difficulties and the
connection was lost, the user would be momentarily notified by a pop-up box.
