IB View - February 1, 2008
Hard work from the IB team continues to pay off for our customers, as we lead the industry in both technological and day-to-day-business innovation. We've outlined some of our more recent developments below. For more information on Interactive Brokers or to open an account, please visit interactivebrokers.com.
IB Risk NavigatorSM
Interactive Brokers is extremely pleased to announce the IB Risk Navigator, a real-time market risk management platform unifying exposure across multiple asset classes around the globe. While a number of market-risk software packages are available in the market for hundreds of thousand of dollars, Interactive Brokers provides this same grade of professional platform to our customers at no cost. To find out more about this feature, see the IB Risk Navigator Highlights.
Statements
In addition to our customizable statement templates and Flex Query Tool, we've implemented more user-friendly statement features, including:
* A new PDF format that makes it easier to read and print your statements.
* Consolidation of executions by order number.
* A new Performance Summary by Underlying Instrument section, which summarizes positions, prices, and profitability in one place.
* A more efficient download process to third-party applications such as Quicken, Captools, and Tradelog.
For more information on these or any statement topic, see our Statements & Reports page.
TWS Gets Nod from Barron's
User-friendly enhancements added to the Trader Workstation, including the new Order Wizard and IB Risk NavigatorSM, have earned IB a nod of approval from Barron's in their annual Spring review of the top online brokers.
TWS and API Enhancements
We continue to add new features to both our TWS trading platform and our Application Program Interface (API) offerings. Some of the latest include: the ability to automatically scale and send large volume orders; the ability to trade volatility on combination orders; significant functional and editing improvements to our real-time charting feature; a complete re-design of our VB for ActiveX API, making the platform more efficient, and allowing us to support all of the available API features for VB6 clients; and process cleanup of both TWS and the API that has substantially improved speed and performance.
For a complete list of enhancements, see the TWS Release notes and API Release notes.
Trading Olympiad
The third annual IB Collegiate Trading Olympiad successfully kicked off its 8-week competition on Monday, January 7, 2008. As an industry leader in technological trading innovation, IB sponsors this event to encourage students to consider a technology-focused career within the financial services industry.
