The Fractal's Edge - FX Trading Software features a visually rich environment that
converts real-time Forex market data into
the above charts and graphics. These components combine to provide you with
all of the information you need to make sound
trading decisions. Below is a description of the components.
Numbers on screen shot refer to numbers in
the description:
- One-click Buttons: for adding and removing entire portfolios
or individual symbols.
- Portfolio and Symbol Tables: located on the left. Select and view your
portfolio (default or user-created). See
bid/ask quotes for all 15 currency pairs
in one location. Click on a pair to view
its chart.
- Menus for Time Period and Zoom: view currency pair in time periods from
1-min bars to monthly bars. Zoom in or out
from 1% to 1600%.
- A standard price chart: depicts the high, the low, and the close.
Can be set for either candlestick or OHLC
bars.
- Right-click Pop-up Menus: a right click anywhere on the chart panel
brings up a menu for drawing lines, modifying
chart features and indicators, and for adding
studies from Accumulation/Distribution to
RSI.
- The Gatekeeper: comprised of a series of 5 moving average
Stability Lines (colored fuchsia, green,
red, and blue, and yellow on the chart in
Illustration 2.1) superimposed over the individual
price chart. Averages used to create the
Stability Lines are based on precise ratios
derived through the application of principles
found in fractal geometry and wavelet theory.
Gatekeeper data drive internal calculations
for determining entry, stop loss values,
and exit points.
- Data tables: located on the right. Tables display price
data and values of the various indicators.
They also show suggested stop loss values.
When the system detects a change in market
direction, a suggested exit point is also
displayed.
- Tick Volume: because of the unique nature of our data,
we are able to provide the precise tick volume
for each bar in all time periods. Most Forex
software packages do not include volume of
any kind.
- Entry signals: TFEFX automatically calculates fractal
and sub-fractal entry points. On the chart,
buy signals are marked with green arrows
and sell signals with red arrows. When filtered
through a combination of certain trading
hours and lower time frames, particular to
each individual currency pair, these signals
provide powerful and timely entry points.
- The Momentum Oscillator: shows the strength and direction of the
market's underlying momentum. Based on concepts
from fractal geometry and wavelet theory,
it depicts the major price waves
- The Accelerometer: acts as an early warning signal, alerting
you to future changes in a market's trend.
It is extremely sensitive to changes in the
acceleration or deceleration of market momentum
and depicts minor waves. When coupled with
the Momentum Oscillator, aids in making inferences
about how the "mass mind" has affected
the day's trading. Formulas are derivatives
of the formula for the Momentum Oscillator.
Important features of TFE-FX that Make Trading
Execution and Management Quick
and Easy
:
- Default Portfolio: contains fifteen G7 currency pairs: EUR/USD,
USD/JPY, USD/CHF, GBP/USD,
AUD/USD, USD/CAD,
EUR/JPY, EUR/GBP, EUR/CHF,
EUR/AUD, GBP/JPY,
GBP/CHF, CHF/JPY, AUD/JPY,
and NZD/USD.
- Custom Portfolios: Easily create your own portfolios with only
the pairs you regularly trade.
- Streaming Data: Intra-day charts with real-time prices for
one-minute bars to four-hour bars, as well
as daily, weekly, and monthly bars instantly
available.
- Tick Volume: The actual volume of currency lots traded
during a particular time period is almost
impossible to obtain, so most trading systems
and most market makers do not provide that
information. However, TFEFX displays tick
volume (the number of times the bid/ask price
changes during a time period) so that you
can readily see patterns of increasing and
decreasing participation.
- Proprietary and Optional Indicators: TFEFX provides three major proprietary indicators,
five optional proprietary indicators,
and
over 12 additional indicators,
including
a Fibonacci retracement tool.
- Precise Buy/Sell Signals: When a buy or sell signal is generated,
the system displays it on the chart and simultaneously
highlights the currency pair's symbol. In
any open portfolio, you can easily see which
currency pairs have existing buy or sell
signals.
- Stop Loss points: TFEFX automatically calculates and displays
stop loss points on the chart.
- Exit Points: TFEFX "senses" when the market
is changing direction and displays an exit
point on the chart.
- Trade Through FOREX.com: a division of GAIN Capital Group, the trusted
counterparty to professional
traders and
fund managers worldwide. Their
reputation
for ethical trading practices
is among the
highest in the industry.
- Platform Integration: For ultra-fast order execution, TFEFX is
linked directly to FOREX.com's order entry
platform.
- Order Management: Choose from 8 available order types. The
platform keeps track of your open orders
and allows you to place new orders or modify
or cancel existing orders at any time.
- Position Management: The platform tracks profit/loss and open
positions in real time.
Past performance is not indicative of future
results. Forex trading involves substantial
risk of loss and it is not suitable for all
investors. Leveraged trading magnifies profits
and losses.
