T4 (CTS) Charts, Indicators, Real-Time News, & Other Features

      If you trade 200 (or more) round-turn contracts a month, then T4 Charting & News will cost you nothing out of pocket, because the minimum monthly charge is $200 (versus $25 for T4 with no charts & no real-time news).  If you trade 150 contracts in a month, then T4 w/ Charts & News will cost you only $50 out of pocket that month (because 200 - 150 = $50), etc.
     Below are some brief highlights of just a few of T4's features, or you may download the full CTS T4 Users Guide .pdf file and read about all of CTS T4's features.  (More new features will be added throughout the rest of this year.) 

CTS T4 Charting features: You can open a chart window from the New menu, Chart option.  Select the contract that you want and a chart window is displayed.

Change chart bar lengths using the drop down menu, or set a custom time interval (anything from 1-second upwards) with the properties window.  You're able to move the chart around by clicking and dragging it, zoom and stretch the scale by right-click & dragging any chart axis, change colors, display as candlestick bars, etc.  Add studies by clicking the button to the right of the 'pointer' button and select from the list.  (Many more studies & indicators will be added throughout 2009).  Change properties for any study, such as having the study use a different time frame.  There are also drawing tools you can use that are under the 'pointer' menu, such as drawing trendlines, channels, fan lines, text labels, etc.

T4 Real-Time News: Open a news window from the New menu, and news stories and economic indicators are both provided.  (Not available in the free demo trial.)

T4 Mini-Market: Go to the properties on any contract window and enable the mini-market property.  This displays multiple months for the same contract next to each other on a compact, shared price scale that gives an overview of the markets and their relation to each other.  It also allows 2-click order submission, since clicking on the mini-market will zoom the main contract display to that market and price you clicked on, and you can then click again to submit your order as normal.  Select the markets displayed by clicking the 'Market' button above the price scale.

Icebergs: Submit iceberg orders into supported markets (CME, ICE) using the MX.  When supported, a 'MX' volume field is shown underneath where you specify the max 'show' value for that order. (E.g. 10 lot order displaying 2 at a time to the market needs '2' in the 'MX' field and '10' in your order volume.)   (Not available in the free demo trial.)
