New Feature Requests » Label of Chart Window On Task Bar Jul 18, 2008 @ 03:48 PM (Total replies: 1)

Hello Serg,

While trading platform is open, I have to open multiple chart windows
for ES, NQ, YM, ER2, 6E and GCL. When other programs are also open
and buttons on the taskbar are small, I can see Label of each Chart
Window button on the task bar as [Icon]Chart - ..... I have to
remember myself that which button is for ES and which one is for
crude etc.

I suggest that label of the buttons of chart windows on TaskBar
may have following features:-

a. Instead of Icon of OEC, an Icon of chart be adjusted so that
just looking at the icon the user may identify that it is a
chart window.

b. Instead of Chart - Template Name or Selected Time period

Label Given below be displayed:-
Instruemtn[Selected Time]:Count Down Time
Example:- ESU8[5 min] : Count Down time

Icon of chart will help to identify at a glance that it is a chart
window button out of long list of buttons of other programs
as well as different modules of OECTrader.

Even if the buttons are too small due to many open programs
the label of the button on task bar will tell the trader about the
instrument.

New Feature Requests » New Addition in Custom Price Format Apr 22, 2008 @ 04:02 PM (Total replies: 3)

I am sorry for not conveying my point of view accurately. I have referred Gold as an example. This feature can be used
by the trader in any way he likes. It will add more flexibility.

Yes, you are right that the trader would need to update the price each time. But this optional feature will be beneficial for
the trader who wants to use it. This will not be obligation. It is beneficial, that is why requested. It gives the desired results
for some instruments (Not all) as I have referred Gold price,
it works perfect in calculating the Gold, Silver, Copper Price
for me and for some of my fellow traders. I do it manually
in EXCEL SHEET.

"Also, contract price is not currency price (USD or EUR)"

Above sentence needs to be reviewed.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

New Feature Requests » New Addition in Custom Price Format Apr 22, 2008 @ 03:33 PM (Total replies: 3)

Hi,

I have a new feature request. As in the custom price format,
we can select the format of our own choice and decimal precision as
per our needs.

I request to add third text field to enter the multiplier of our own choice as well. Let me explain it with example. Last price of
Electronic Gold ZGM8 is 920.3. We can change its decimal places,
number of 0s after the decimal etc etc. We assume that in all cases
internally it is multiplied with 1. If we may multiply it with user
entered multiplier, it will facilitate the user to convert the prices
to their local currencies. if we multiply 920.3 with 64.10 (1US$=64.10)
it will give us the rate of 1 lot of Gold in Pak Rupees. Similarly
people of different countries may like to see the prices into their
local currencies and this multiplier feature will be very much helpful
in watching the prices in the local currencies.

Hope above example helps in understanding my point.

Regards,

Azher
