How will the StreamTrek help me trade stocks?
 |
StreamTrek is completely synchronized with the market
movements. It promptly shows you all price and quote changes that occur in the market.
StreamTrek gives you the most recent "Money Flow" and "VWAP" that are derived based on the analyses of real-time quotes. By integrating this data into one table that is self-updating with current live data, we provide you with a venue to effectively monitor your stocks of choice. Active traders need to have real-time information about the market so they can make prompt trading decisions.

We would like to emphasize the benefits of StreamTrek:
(1) If you monitor or trade a few stocks at the same
time, StreamTrek will provide real-time information on all of the stocks
simultaneously.
(2) StreamTrek is a dynamic interface between you and the market. A good
active trader needs to "ride the waves of the market" and "become
one with the market." You cannot achieve this "resonance" between
you and the market if you have to refresh the screen all of the time to see
real-time quotes.
(3) StreamTrek gives you quick access to all of your stocks. You can minimize
StreamTrek into a small icon and have the convenience of being able to do other
things at your computer. When you want to take a look at your trading positions,
you need only to click on StreamTrek icon at the bottom of your monitor to see them.
(4) Coming soon...in future releases of Tradetrek, we will link StreamTrek to
trade execution windows and you will be able to execute trades quickly right from
StreamTrek.

How do I add or delete stocks; what are the icon buttons and charts within StreamTrek?
You can add up to 20 ticker symbols to StreamTrek. Let us explain how to add or delete
a stock to StreamTrek. Please refer to Figure 2 (Navigation within StreamTrek) for the
remainder of this explanation.

links to some of Tradetrek's most popular tools. You can access all of these features right
from your StreamTrek. When you click on a button, a new window will open with the feature just
selected; the advantage of using these buttons is that your StreamTrek will remain open.
