October 29, 2024

Create efficient workflows that help you access information and make split-second market decisions with the help of our award-winning† platform. Build these workflows using one of the most powerful tools at your disposal: the Matrix. This feature offers important market information and order routing capabilities, enabling you to streamline your trading process. 

Meet the Matrix 

The Matrix provides a comprehensive view of the market, displaying crucial information such as the high and low of the day, volume weighted average price, and unfilled limit orders. Its intuitive design allows for quick and easy order placement, adjustment, and cancellation. By simply hovering over the bid or ask columns, traders can place buy or sell orders, with the option to set limit or stop market orders based on the current price. 

Advanced traders can leverage the Matrix’s sophisticated features to enhance their trading strategies. The trade bar enables more complex order types, including bracket orders and OCO (One-Cancels-Other) entries. These tools allow traders to implement breakout strategies, manage risk, and automate their trading process, all with just a few clicks. 

Key Matrix features 

  • Single-click order routing for quick execution 
  • Real-time display of market depth and order book 
  • Customizable exit brackets for risk management 
  • Ability to attach OSO (One-Sends-Other) orders
