Pattern Recognition history button: allow you to back-test the historical results of any pattern with the click of a button.
Chinese Economic Calendar updates: you can now keep up-to-date with China, the world’s second-largest economy, through the new Chinese economic announcements that are listed in the Economic Calendar.

Enhanced price quote windows: the new windows now include more information about a product’s price movements, including the daily high and low values and the relative performance in percentage and points.
Spread betting, CFDs and FX are leveraged products and carry a high level of risk to your capital. It is possible to lose more than your initial investment. These products may not be suitable for all investors, therefore ensure you understand the risks involved and seek independent advice if necessary.
