Probably the best trading platform ever made.

The platform has been redesigned with 2 objectives:

• allowing you to display more useful information in a smaller area
• saving you time by requiring less clicks to use platform features

Charts

The charting window buttons and menus have been optimized to take less space and give more space to the chart itself.

Customised timeframes

Timeframe and historical data dropdown menus can now be entirely customised.
You can add your own timeframes and historical quantities to the menus and hide the ones that you do not use.

Price and chart styles

Indicators

You can now create different chart studies which are independent from eachother on the same instrument and timeframe (example: different studies for support/resistance and for Fibonacci/Gann).

Objects in different chart studies are independent from eachother - only the objects you have drawn on a specific study will appear in that study.

Each chart study is specific to a financial instrument and is available no matter what workstation template you are using (ex: multiple screen template or single screen template).

Drawing toolbar on charts

The object toolbar can now be displayed or hidden on all charting windows, and in the main ProRealTime window. This will allow you to access drawing tools and objects more quickly.

To display or hide the drawing toolbar from your charting windows, click on the drawing icon at the bottom left.

The toolbar can be customized to display the tools that you use in the order that you want. If your charting window is smaller than the toolbar, use your mouse wheel to navigate through the toolbar.

Objects templates

Create and save several types of configurations per object (ex: red line and green line) to save some time when using drawing tools.

Draw and modify more quickly

In cursor mode, objects can now be modified (without using a dedicated modification mode), making it easier and more comfortable to use them.

New objects

New drawing objects have been added : Head & shoulders, Impulsive Elliott waves and corrective Elliott waves.

Transfer to other timeframes

More possibilities to transfer your objects to other timeframes. Choose between :

• Display objects only in the timeframe it was drawn
• Transfer objects to inferior timeframes only
• Transfer objects to superior timeframes only
• Display objects in all timeframes

Object configuration

Object configuration windows have been redone with additional customization possibilities for several objects (levels, colors, associated texts...).

Your friends

A new instant messaging feature has been added to the platform.

Once you have chosen a nickname, you can add your friends to your list of contacts by clicking on the "+" sign.

Share indicators, trading systems and market scans

The instant messaging feature allows you to share charts, indicators, trading systems and market scans with your contacts.
It is possible as for sharing via a file, to chose if the recipient will be able to edit the code or not.

Share charts and drawn objects

Limit orders at Bid / Ask

New optional buttons in the trading toolbar allow you to quickly place Limit orders at the best Bid or best Ask price.

Order ticket

The order ticket (manual entry of orders) has been redesigned.
It now lets you enter orders much more quickly with less clicks required.
You can also chose to display a preview of the order on your charts.

Recently executed orders

Display of recently executed orders on charts has been improved. Hover over an order to see the details including position size before & after the execution.

You can click on a recently executed order to display it in the "Order List" window.

After running a Backtest, you can also click on any order on the chart to display the corresponding trade in the ProBacktest results window.

Groups of positions

The portfolio window can now display your positions grouped by:

• Type of position (Long / Short)
• Type of instrument
• Currency
• Market
• Activity sector
• Sector by market

For each group, a summary line will show you information related to the group such as Latent Gain and Exposure.
Several additional optional columns have been added to the portfolio window including %Exposure, Delta (for options) and TTL (time to live).

Create custom groups

You can also create custom groups of positions and name them as you wish, such as for example "Long term positions" / "Swing" / "Short term positions".

The comments area below charts has been transformed into a trading journal.

The trading journal provides a new way for you to take notes on your trades, impressions on the market trends etc ...

Shortcuts

The shortcuts window has been reworked to allow you to view and set several shortcuts at once and allow more flexibility in the type of shortcuts you can set.

Favorite instruments

From the instrument search results, click on the star icon next to an instrument's name to set it as favorite.
Once an instrument is set as favorite, you will be able to access it quickly by clicking the name area in any chart or order book.
If applicable, you will also see a list of securities related to the instrument currently displayed, and a list of recently viewed securities.

Lists in ProRealTime can now be displayed as a market heatmap. The heatmap can be displayed either :

• On the side of a list
• Below a list
• As an independent window

You can use your mouse wheel to zoom in the market heatmap.
The size of the boxes can be either fixed, determined by trading volume, or determined by exchanged capital for the current day.
The color of the boxes is determined by market variation since the previous trading day.

The new "Instrument database" window allows you to display complete lists with up to 1 000 instruments per page. You can filter instruments by :

• Exchange
• Country
• Instrument type
• Sector
• Capitalisation
• Underlying

Advanced search has been improved to offer the same possibilities.
If the number of results is below 50 for the Complete workstation, or below 100 for the Premium workstation, you will be able to export results to a real-time watchlist.

A new "Historical Data Mode" in the Premium version allows you to view charts with up to 1 million candles displayed!
This mode is dedicated to analysis and backtesting.

In addition to displaying the last 1 million candles, you can get historical data even farther in the past by selecting a specific date range (ex: Dax Future chart in 1 minute view from 2009 to 2014).

Up to 3 charts in historical mode with up to 1 million candles of each can be displayed at one time, either on the same instrument or on different instruments.

For less disruption in your trading, the following popups are now displayed as notifications :

• Information on pending or executed orders
• Alerts triggered
• Instant message received

Notifications appear on the right of the screen. You can choose to either have them remain on screen until you click them or disappear automatically after a few seconds.

Notifications are also regrouped in a dedicated notification window. If you missed notifications, a badge in the main window will show a count and allow you to display them.

The options pricer chart can now be viewed as a 3-dimensional chart.

• Variables which can be used for the X and Y-axis: Underlying asset price, Volatility, Time until exercise, Risk-free rate Variables
• Variables which can be used for the Z-axis: P&L, Option price, Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta, Rho

Multi-instrument Backtesting

You can now run a backtest on multiple instruments simultaneously from the backtest creation window (Premium version only).
For each instrument in a multi-instrument backtest, you can configure the following information :

• Initial capital
• Order fees
• Spreads

Backtest optimizations

• Optimizations can also be run on several instruments at a time (Premium version only) and the results are displayed in one window for easy comparisons.
• The line “Combined results” shows the combined results for the best combination for each instrument.
• You can save a combination of variables of your choice by clicking the disk icon in the table.
• You can prepare a strategy for automatic trading with the values of the line by clicking on the gear icon to send it to ProOrder.

More optimization criteria

Optimization for backtests can now be based on more criteria than before to maximize gains or minimize risk.

• Gain
• Nbr positions
• % Winning positions
• Max drawdown
• Max runup
• Average gain per position

2D and 3D Optimization charts

• In addition to the table format, optimization results can now be displayed as a 2D chart or 3D chart.
• In the 3D chart, the X and Y axis show variables used in the backtest. The Z-axis can show things like gain, drawdown or runup.

The new templates menu has been reworked.
It now shows a preview of all your saved templates, including the approximate window dispositions and number of screens the template was saved with, making it more easy to manage your templates when you are using your ProRealTime platform on several computers (for example a desktop computer with 2 screens and a laptop).

General interface
