Live spreads added to Brokers
June 4, 2012
Traffic to the brand-new Brokers product has exceeded all expectations – we're glad you guys like it!
We recently launched several new features that make the broker guide even better! Most notably, the spreads now update live! So not only are spreads real-time, but they now automatically update in sync with the brokers' platforms.
For live spreads just check the 'Live' option in the top-right of the Spreads section, or use this permalink: http://www.ojas-gujarat-gov-in.com/brokers.php#spreads

When spreads are live, a green flash signals the spread became more favorable to the trader (tighter), and a red flash signals it became less favorable (wider).
Another cool improvement is that you can now pare down the list of brokers by where they're headquartered, their regulator, or who they service. You can also select specific brokers for comparison purposes – it's all part of the Flex Box settings.

We hope you like the new features! If you have any ideas for further improvement, please contact us!

New product: Brokers
May 7, 2012
We're pleased to announce the beta-release of Brokers, a highly advanced guide to regulated forex brokers. This new product is a breakthrough in the way traders research brokers, finally combining up-to-date information, extensive detail, real-time spreads, and a versatile interface that makes it easy to sort through it all!

While all information on the broker guide is kept fresh, the spreads are real-time! All spreads are pulled from each broker's standard live account (no demos) with mere millisecond of lag (click the
icon to refresh). With the built-in sorting feature, you can even sort the brokers by the pair that you trade most!

You can learn more about the administration and design of Brokers in the 'About Brokers' box. We hope this new product helps you find the broker that best suits your trading!

Get a fresh start with Trade Explorer
March 20, 2012
With the new 'Custom Start' feature, you can now specify a date that your Trade Explorer begins including brokerage account history. Strategies change, styles evolve, traders become smarter – all are good reasons you might want to exclude old performance from your metrics. While traders shouldn't forget lessons of the past, it's a lot easier to analyze performance when irrelevant trades are excluded.
To set up a custom start date, click 'Options' at the top-right of your Trade Explorer, and enter a date in the 'Custom Start' section, as shown below.

You may have also noticed that we recently changed the graph setup on the 'Overview' tab. Instead of one Flash-based graph, the Trade Explorer now has four image-based graphs on the main tab. This change gives you a thorough overview of the account with just a glance, plus it loads faster because it's no longer based on Flash technology (which was our initial motivation for changing).

The new graphs also interact with the 'Performance' table rows – click the small blue icon on each row to make the graphs represent only that particular period. This is a handy way to zoom in on performance for the year, month, week, or day.

Haven't tried the Trade Explorer yet? Get started here! Or if you have feedback or ideas for improvement, we're always glad to hear from you.

New product: Trades
December 12, 2011
We're pleased to announce the beta-release of Trades, a new product that tells you who's buying, who's selling, and who's winning! 

The data for Trades is aggregated from members sharing their Trade Explorer information (i.e., permissions set to 'Public'), and the default settings only show activity from live brokerage accounts (i.e., no demos). Best of all, you can trust that the performance metrics are legitimate! The live/demo distinction cannot be faked on the Trade Explorer, and as we confirmed last month, all trade statistics are based on equity, so open positions are included in the metrics.
While the default settings only show live accounts, Trades is based on our Flexbox technology, so you can customize the content of the Trade Feed and Leaderboard applications.

There's also a very useful filter on the Trade Feed. You can adjust the setting to show only your buddies' trades, or only EUR/USD trades, for instance.

The default Leaderboard shows which traders are having the best month, and it can also be configured to display annual or weekly periods. To help keep the rankings pure, only Trade Explorers with equity greater than 100 currency units (dollars/euros/pounds/etc.) are included in the rankings, and commercial members are excluded.

So there you have it – a powerful new tool to assist you in your pursuit of profits!
PS, If you don't have a Trade Explorer yet, get one here!
