Learn how to trade

Make-it-easier tools

When choosing their first broker novice traders tend to focus on low commissions and mass marketing visibility. Major parameters such as charting, platform, support, education materials and even regulatory safety are often ignored. It are, however, precisely these parameters which form the basis of trading succes.

If you are considering to start trading please take a moment to consider these 6 reasons why many novice traders select WH SelfInvest.

The NanoTrader trading platform contains numerous tools which make things easier for traders. One example are TacticOrders. Traders who determine their entry points on a combination of technical analysis indicators will find TacticOrders extremely useful.

Once you activate several indicators it becomes difficult to visually evaluate their combined opinion. A TacticOrder is a special order type fully managed by NanoTrader. It monitors your selection of indicators and creates orders if the combined opinion of your indicators meets the conditions you set. You can confirm the order or let it execute automatically. Programming is not required.

Say you have five indicators. You can, for example, request the NanoTrader to give you a buy signal when four of the five indicators turn bullish. This video shows another practical example:

Recording & Playback

The most effective way for a trader to train a new trading technique or a new market is by way of having live data of this market in conjunction with a PaperTrade account. But ... it can get extremely time consuming to really get confident with a market – simply because events unfold over multiple weeks.

The OneClick Recording and Playback feature of the NanoTrader platform address the needs of traders who want to accelerate their learning instead of following the market week after week. It allows to easily convert price data into a Recording that can be used as a Playback thereby giving the trader the live experience of receiving the data.

At a glance OneClick Recording and Playback provides the following functionalities:

a) Convert a zoom in a Chart into a Recording with the click of a button

b) Convert the last trading session of a tradable security into a Recording. This allows to train on the data without having seen the chart before.

c) Use Live Recording for capturing the trades and the orderbook.

d) The Playback allows you to receive the data in real-time or in any acceleration you choose. It also allows you to Pause or move forward stepwise for a most detailed examination of the market.
