Extra features
The Market Manager shares its order-entry form and order templates with our other trading apps. Quick-entry templates which are created in the Trade Terminal or Mini Terminal can also be used in the Market Manager, again providing two-click placement of complex order entries. Templates created in the Market Manager are correspondingly available in the Trade Terminal and Mini Terminal.
Similarly, the Market Manager shares its order-modification window with the Trade Terminal and Mini Terminal: you can alter an open position or pending order using the same range of options which are available when first opening it. For example, you can set a new stop loss by specifying a cash risk rather than having to enter the corresponding price.
Rather than duplicating the charting facilities which are provided by the underlying trading platform, the Market Manager instead provides a single compact window which summarizes recent price movements on a symbol over multiple time periods:
- Bar charts of recent movements on M5, M15, and H1
- Gauges showing the current price in relation to the high low over the last 60 minutes, 24 hours, and 5 days
- Tick chart
Finally, the Market Manager automatically modifies its font size to fit the user’s choice of window size!
