General Trading Information

Rates Change Colors
If a rate changes color to green, it means the rate in that cell just updated and is higher than the previous one. If a rate changes color to red, it means the rate in that cell just updated and is lower than the previous one.

Change column reset
Each trading day session starts at 17:00 EST / EDT (New York local time) so the Change columns reset at that time.

Market alerts
Market alerts notify you about a current or future event on the market. Alerts are triggered 5 minutes before the scheduled event is about to take place. There are many different abbreviations used in language that describe alert notifications. These are abbreviations for economic institutions, instruments, businesses, reports, processes, etc. You can find detailed information on these and similar terms and abbreviations at http://www.wikipedia.org/ web site.


Latest news sources
Marketiva collects news articles from various sources on the internet, extracts summaries and provides links to external web sites where the news articles were originally published.

Instruments available
Marketiva provides trading services in market instruments listed on instruments page where you can filter instruments by their type. The list of market instruments may change in the future.

Other asset classes
We currently provide trading services in market instruments listed on instruments page. There are no immediate plans to offer additional asset classes. In case we decide to expand our services, you will be informed about such changes through our web site.

GENERAL PROBLEMS
### shows only
When there is not enough space for Streamster to show certain value in a cell, # symbols are shown instead. The application does that so if a part of a number is missing you do not see a wrong number. Simply place your mouse on the border of the column heading where the # symbols appear, then click and drag until you see all of the data.

Position profit missing
If you unsubscribe from an instrument price, Streamster will not be able to calculate real-time, indicative profit on positions you have in [Positions] window on that instrument. Streamster will sometimes also need correlated price subscriptions (e.g. EUR/JPY position will need current USD/JPY rate to calculate your current profit in USD currency). To resolve this, you just need to subscribe to receive prices by clicking the Subscriptionsbutton in a price window, click on Searchbutton and then double-click the instruments needed. NOTE: When you close a position, your profit will always be calculated correctly, no matter if the real-time, indicative profit is shown or not.
