Market Scanner launched
January 15, 2015
Six years ago we introduced the first composite forex market data, merging feeds from several brokers into a single price. We've never stopped believing in the value of composite data – it's a truer representation of the market than any single feed – and over the years we've worked to include more brokers, reduce data lag to nearly zero, and make the interface easier and more powerful. These efforts have culminated in the development of the new Market Scanner:
The Scanner is new from the ground up. It's powered by our new, blazing-fast data aggregation engine, MDA, which collects and calculates prices from scores of leading forex brokers with virtually no lag.
The interface features real-time charts, spread analysis, and even individual brokers rates – and everything updates automatically when 'Live' is checked:
The best thing about the Scanner is its flexibility. You can change the currencies displayed, the metrics tracked, the colors used, and even the name of the block:
The Scanner is part of the Market product, and as of today it was added as a default block on the Homepage. Remember, you can adjust the position of the block with the new page arrangement feature.
We hope the Scanner makes a positive impact on your trading! If you have any questions or suggestions, make sure to let us know – we're always interested in feedback from you guys!
