cTra​der, the STP tra​ding pla​tform from Spo​twa​re Syste​ms, has re​ceived a ma​jor over​haul of the way tra​des are di​spla​yed in the appli​ca​tion. The ove​ra​ll level of tran​spa​ren​cy has been grea​tly en​han​ced with a full brea​kdo​wn of po​si​tions into or​ders (tra​de re​que​sts from tra​ders to the LP) and dea​ls (LP exe​cu​tion re​por​ts).The new stru​ctu​re will also be avai​la​ble on cA​l​go, Spo​twa​re's al​go​ri​thmic tra​ding pla​tform, and cTra​der Web (cTra​de​r's twin HTML5 pla​tform). Alex Ka​tsa​ros, who hea​ds the cTra​der deve​lo​pment team, explai​ned: "This kind of po​si​tion brea​kdo​wn is a great way for users to see exa​ctly wha​t's ha​ppe​ning with each tra​de, from ope​ning cli​ck to clo​sed po​si​tion." New 'in​for​ma​tion win​do​ws' provi​de tra​ders an exhau​stive set of all de​tai​ls re​la​ting to in​divi​dual po​si​tions, or​ders, and dea​ls. The​se de​tai​ls in​clu​de exa​ct ma​tching ti​mes, fill ti​mes, and fill ra​tes, whi​le 'ti​me​li​ne​s' at the bo​ttom of the win​dow show all re​la​ted tra​ding even​ts in or​der of when they occur​red. Mar​ket Sna​psho​ts are also sho​wn for every deal. The​se sna​psho​ts give users a pre​ci​se view of mar​ket pri​cing and li​qui​di​ty at the exa​ct time of exe​cu​tion, he​lping them to un​der​stand why a deal was fi​lled at the pri​ce it was, or why it may have been par​tia​lly fi​lled. Ka​tsa​ros he​ra​lded the la​te​st re​lea​se as yet ano​ther step to​war​ds bui​lding tru​st be​tween all coun​ter​par​ties. "This kind of ite​mi​za​tion and de​pth of in​for​ma​tion for each tra​de isn't avai​la​ble on any other FX pla​tform. We've added ano​ther mi​le​sto​ne in our co​mmi​tment to extre​me tran​spa​ren​cy, whi​ch we be​lieve be​ne​fi​ts not only tra​ders but bro​kers as well. Of cour​se, the prin​ci​ple is far from exclu​sive to fi​nan​cial tra​ding - bu​si​ne​sses all over the wor​ld are rai​sing their effor​ts to be more tran​spa​rent be​cau​se the​y've seen how well it be​ne​fi​ts all par​ties. "We can't wait for tra​ders to fi​na​lly get this qui​te fa​sci​na​ting view of their own tra​ding, and we look for​ward, as ever, to lots of fee​dba​ck."
