The perfect Trading-Software

The Trader Workstation (TWS for short) is CapTrader's most powerful trading platform and is characterized by its great reliability and stability. It offers traders, investors and institutional clients the opportunity to trade shares, options, futures, foreign exchange, CFDs and funds on over 160 markets around the world from a single account.

Functions and applications that enable global trading of a wide variety of securities classes with countless Order types, with algos and with many efficiency-enhancing trading tools round out the trading in the trading software.

Professional tools: Access TWS tools for trading, orders, live quotes, technical research and analysis from a single window.

Order Management: The portfolio display gives you the most important details about positions at a glance. In the order entry window you can define and submit orders directly, and with the order monitor you can track and modify active orders and view executed and cancelled orders.

Many order types: Create attached orders directly in the Orders section, such as bracket, stop-limit, profit-taking, or one-cancels-all orders, as well as beta, FX, or pair hedging orders.

Watchlists: Add multiple watchlists to view financial instruments in groups and create custom market scanners.

Charting: Add gradients, lines, and bars to market scanners to make trends and patterns easy to see.

Informative Charts: View interactive, customizable charts that support numerous studies and trend lines.

Individual: Build a custom workspace from your favorite tools that fits your trading needs.

News & Streams: View general news as a real-time stream, filtering by specific topics, or use real-time streams for news on a specific underlying asset.

Premium services: Boost Mosaic's power by subscribing to premium news services and analysis from reputable providers such as Reuters, Dow Jones, Morningstar and Zacks.

Freely configurable: The color grouping feature lets you color-link display windows and ticker symbol activities so that a symbol is automatically adjusted in all color-linked windows when you change it.

Here you can view your account balances, margin data, your available balance for trading, market value and portfolio data for all your products in a customizable and clear account overview.

Create watchlists where you can monitor real-time based quotes based on your market data subscriptions. To suit your personal trading methods, you can create, zoom in/out and move multiple individually named watchlist windows.

Keep track of your margin requirements. Quick overviews of potential shortfalls help you avoid position liquidations. Also use the "what if" portfolio margin calculation to view your margin requirements using the portfolio margining system.

Create real-time price, time, margin, and volume alerts that inform you of important changes in the market environment.

Check out daily executions and net trading volumes by ticker symbol in our expandable transaction reports.
