It appears that the largest forex broker in terms of market capitalization, Interactive Brokers (NASDAQ:IBKR), has taken on the initiative to update all its proprietary trading platform TWS across all platforms. In the same week in which it rolled out an update of its Android version, the broker announced the new desktop TWS Version 956.
The new version has some improvements for convenience, such as customizable date format display and offers new features, which are directly affecting the trading process. One such feature is the creation of daily p&l alerts on positions, available through the analytical tools right-click menu.
The new TWS version also introduces new real-time technical indicator scanners and columns for product-based EMAs, price crossing EMAs, or EMA(20) crossing EMA(200). For these scanners we support 20, 50, 100, and 200 period EMAs. They are available through the Analytics menu. The Mosaic Market Scanners are available through the Mosaic Monitor panel.
The updated TWS trading platform allows users to save commissions by divesting models using independent positions andattach emails or SMS messages to alerts. It also has risk navigator enhancements with tree new columns to the risk navigator tabs: tracking factor, correlation and description.
Interactive Brokers are also introducing localized language set of the platform. Currently only Simplified Chinese is available.
