Advanced TWS Trading Tools

Each lesson centers on a specific standalone module within TWS that has a unique purpose. The FXTrader is a prime example. TWS users may view and trade currencies anywhere in the platform, but we devised the FXTrader as a dedicated piece of software that allows currency traders to configure a workspace with an emphasis on price display. You will also be introduced to the TWS BasketTrader, which enables a user to construct a basket of stocks for easy upload and simultaneous transmission to the market. And you will also learn about ISW, the Integrated Stock Window, where you can trade, see charts, market data and deep data all from a single integrated window.

The sample video below is a lesson of the series covering the Portfolio Builder.

This lesson helps users understand the TWS Portfolio Builder tool. Imagine if you could design a portfolio that bought the top ranked stocks by pretax margin, PE or ROI and sold the 10 stocks with the lowest rankings. What might the results look like over a one, two or three-year period? And how did the basket perform against the S&P 500 index? And how about versus the Nasdaq composite or Russell small cap index?
