Ada, Michigan, July 20, 2009 – GFT, one of the world's largest online currency dealers and derivative market-makers, announced today an updated version of its DealBook® 360, making one of the best trading platforms even better—customers now have the ability to create more orders using custom strategies, trendlines and Fibonacci indicators.

DealBook® 360 customers already have one of the most advanced trading platforms for forex, futures and derivatives, and now GFT is adding five great features: chart line orders, RCI indicator, create parent and contingent orders for strategies, custom tick charts and quote delay notifications (futures). Highlights of these features include:

• Chart line orders: The new chart line orders features gives GFT customers the opportunity to place orders based on price breaks above or below a basic trend line or Fibonacci retracement.
• RCI indicator: The Rank Correlation Index is an indicator that analyzes price in relation to the time—it force-ranks the most recent price and most recent time statistically to help traders forecast possible trends
• Create parent and contingent orders for strategies: GFT customers can use a common program language called CTL to create parent and contingent orders to get into and out of a market position, as part of their trading strategy. Traders can create strategies that will execute a P&C order, either a certain number of pips above an indicator line or a certain number of pips below an indicator line.
• Custom tick charts: Another request by GFT customers who use strategies, custom tick charts can assist traders creating their own versions of MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, etc.
• Quote delay notifications: A new feature that alerts customers if the quotes they are using are delayed — e.g. futures quotes are delayed up to 10 minutes on the demo system but not for live accountholders.

"We simply keep adding new and appealing tools, but the real credit comes from the constant dialogue we have with our customers, many of these were created by them," said Gary Tilkin, president and CEO, GFT.

The DealBook® 360 update also includes margin calculation upgrades, an optional don't save login information, a pip calculator view that works for futures and a progress bar for chart strategies.

The free DealBook® software upgrade—version 2.12.37—from GFT is available by downloading it from here.
