Skill Building
However different they may be, every successful trader has two attributes in common: money management and discipline. Hotline will help you build both of these skills, while increasing your confidence and helping you to "plan the trade and trade the plan." In addition to the best charting and technical analysis available, Hotline has powerful extra features...

  • Personal Trade Tracking summarizes your open positions and analyzes your trading results historically.
  • Expert Trading Model makes buy, sell and stop-loss recommendations, and tracks its theoretical performance just as it tracks your real or paper trades.
  • DayTrader™ System makes daily recommendations for day trading commodities and stocks.
  • Personal System Alerts enable you to define and test your own early warning system based on 30 technical variables.
  • Audio/Visual Alarms/Spoken inform you when new candle patterns form, when technical tools are producing new signals and when our DayTrader - or your own - buy/sell points are touched or exceeded.

With Hotline you don't need to be an expert to reap the benefits of technical analysis. Hotline will help focus your attention on potential trading opportunities, increasing your chances of being in the right place at the right time. As your technical analysis skills grow, you will benefit from the most complete charting and technical toolbox available.

Advanced Charting
Charts analyze a security's performance over time and can display that information in a variety of views, including line, traditional bar, semi-log, Japanese candlestick, Haiken-Ashi and Point & Figure. The time frame of a chart refers to the amount of time each horizontal movement represents, not the total time represented within the chart. For example... a five minute chart in our software can cover two or three weeks of market activity where each point in the chart represents five minutes.
  • All securities may be charted in time frames from ticks to minutes to monthly and everything in between.
  • All charts, regardless of time frame, update every time a trade occurs (streaming data feed).
  • Easily and rapidly switch views from Bar to Line to Japanese Candle to Point & Figure.
  • Daily weekly and monthly charts are available even if you are not connected to the internet, allowing Hotline to function as an end-of-day and intraday charting and analysis source.
  • Clicking on any point in the chart displays the numbers and statistics used to create the chart.
  • Enhance charts with technical-analysis studies, overlays and underlays.
  • Personal preferences such as window size and placement, manually drawn lines, technical-analysis studies and general chart appearance are stored independently for each chart type and time frame.
  • Customize chart coloring, patterns and pen size.

The Market Pulse windows can display over 100 pages of statistical indicators from all the major exchanges including Canada and London. Reports may include most actives, new highs/lows, most up/down in value, option statistics, index statistics, currency and futures' markets and much, much more. Simple to use set up dialogs let you decide which reports you receive.

Trade Tracking and Alerts
Our trade tracking includes profit (or loss) since the position was opened, current intraday profits, best intraday profits and position value, all updating live, as the market moves. Selectable audio/visual/speech alarms are triggered whenever our DayTrader - or your own - buy/sell points are touched or exceeded. Our SmartChart feature will automatically alert you when new candle patterns form, when technical tools produce signals and when prices break down or breakout of current trends.
