Interactive Brokers (NASDAQ:IBKR), an automated global online brokerage, today introduced IBKR Desktop, a next-generation desktop trading application for Windows and Mac designed for today’s traders who demand simplicity but appreciate Interactive Brokers’ powerful trading tools .
IBKR Desktop marks a new chapter in innovation and focus on intuitive user experience at Interactive Brokers.
At launch, IBKR Desktop offers global access to stocks, options and futures in more than 150 markets, along with exclusive trading tools designed to enhance investment strategies, including:
- MultiSort: MultiSort allows users to sort data using multiple factors simultaneously. This is essential for traders and investors who need to evaluate various information such as fundamental data, past performance and technical indicators. MultiSort makes it easy to enter multiple preferences and quickly return the most relevant results.
- Option Grid: The option grid is a graphical display of an options chain that highlights potential outliers in key metrics such as implied volatility, open interest, volume, or last price. Users can easily switch between categories for a comprehensive view and refer to the underlying’s historical performance for a more up-to-date analysis.
Interactive Brokers is committed to constantly updating IBKR Desktop, with plans to expand support for more products and incorporate advanced tools that redefine what traders can expect from a trading platform, ensuring that Interactive Brokers clients are always one step ahead in the trading world.
To coincide with the launch, Interactive Brokers developed the IBKR Desktop Trading Course, which includes 10 lessons covering how traders can use the platform to submit options orders, view news and research, and customize charts, bars and views, among other things.
