Smart Order RoutingThe order entry window now supports smart orders Native Currency Filter in Consolidated OrderbookThe consolidated orderbook now includes a new filter that excludes symbols that are not traded in the same currency as the main symbol. New Trades Panel in Consolidated OrderbookThe consolidated orderbook now includes a new trades panel showing trades on the included symbols. Prices are converted to the target currency. The trades panel is collapsed by default, but can be displayed by clicking the expand button or by pressing F9. New chartsThere are now two new chart modes, accessed from the symbol context menu. Bar chartA chart for displaying one or more instruments side-by-side in a bar chart. As a default it will display the selected instruments net change in percent. It can be configured to chart a number of historic values in order to quickly compare the instruments performance against each other.
Yield line chartA chart for displaying a series of instruments in a line chart. The instruments can be added one by one, or by a multi selection in the market window. The instrument list can also be edited in the chart setup dialog. By default it will chart the last price value for all selected instruments, but it can be changed to chart bid, ask, bid yield, ask yield and yield instead. What to chart can also be individually changed per instrument. Excel RTD linksThe application now acts as an Excel RTD Server. In Excel you can use formulas in the format =RTD("ontrade.quotes"; ""; "SSE"; "ERIC B"; "Last) to get live updating quotes. For more information on Excel RTD, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289150. Note I: By default Excel only updates RTD links every 2 seconds. This can be configured, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140060(office.10).aspx (search for "RTD Throttle Interval"). Note II: The application must be running for the RTD links to work. If you open an Excel spreadsheet with RTD links, it will automatically start the application, but it will not be able to resolve the links. To correct this, close and reopen the spreadsheet. Misc changesWorkspaces are now saved in a new file format. A single XML-file replaces all previous workspace files. This new file format cannot be read by previous versions of the application. The installer no longer prompts for Provider ID during a new install (Provider ID is still required when entering the username and password, however). The sorted column and selected pie-chart size in the All Brokers and Single Broker pages of the Market window is now properly persisted in the workspace.
