New features of ProRealTime v11.1

Platform redesign

The platform has been redesigned with 2 objectives:

allowing you to display more useful information in a smaller area
saving you time by requiring less clicks to use platform features

Main window

The objects toolbar can be displayed or hidden from the main window.

Lists scrollbars

Scrollbars in lists only appear when the mouse hovers over the window to save screen space.

Lists density

You can now choose between a fixed density for your lists (small, medium, large) or an automatically defined density based on list size.

Quick access from lists

Click on the [+] icon in the lists to quickly access features such as opening a chart or order book on the instrument, displaying analysis on the instrument, ...

Dropdown menus

The new dropdown menus are displayed in columns to make it easier to find what you are looking for and include a search bar.

You can now move all windows on a single screen at once by using ctrl + clicking on the title bar.
This is useful to transfer multiple windows from one screen to another. You can then use the multi-window feature in the options menu to fit all windows to the new screen size.

Find settings more easily

The options menu has been re-designed and now includes a search bar to allow you to find more easily the settings you are looking for.

Quick configuration mode

A quick configure button is now available in several windows of the platform. This enables configuration mode which lets you select a zone of the window to immediately open the configuration options of the related zone.

Chart improvements

Charts

The charting window buttons and menus have been optimized to take less space and give more space to the chart itself.

Display/hide features

Buttons allow you to quickly display/hide trading features, charting tools, and trading journal.

Trading toolbar

The trading information panel and the trading panel can be placed side by side to save additional space, or placed on 2 different lines to display more order types.
When placed on 2 different lines, the trading toolbar car now be displayed across the entire chart window to make room for additional trading tools.

Watermark

You can display/hide instrument information in the background of the chart.
Displayable information includes: ticker, name, timeframe, market. The position of the watermark can be customized.

Title bar

Charting windows title bar can be customized to display only the information you need.

Timeframe & Historical data selection

Time frame and historical data selection are now available from the title bar to save space in the charting window.

Indicator button and other features

Many buttons and features such as the "Add indicator" button have been regrouped at the bottom left of the chart.
Clicking the arrow icon can turn the toolbar into a menu to save additional space.
This will happen automatically if the window is to small to display all buttons.

Candle color & border

Candlestick colors and borders can now both be colored depending on Close >= Open or Close >= previous close.

Go to date & time

You can now click the calendar button to automatically go to a specific date & time on your chart.

Customised timeframes

Timeframe and historical data dropdown menus can now be entirely customised.
You can add your own timeframes and historical quantities to the menus and hide the ones that you do not use.
Customised timeframes

Price & Indicators

Price and chart styles

Indicator display on non time-based chart styles

Non time-based chart styles such as Renko, Kagi or point & figure now allow you to display most indicators (on price and below the price).

"Hollow candle" chart style

A new chart style “hollow candle” has been added. Candle borders can be colored differently from the main candle for increasing and decreasing candles.

Candle border color is determined by an increase/decrease of the close compared to the open.
The candlestick is hollow if the movement was bullish during the candle (close > open) and filled in if it was bearish (close < open).

Chart style settings

The price panel now shows chart styles graphically to facilitate switching between them.
Candle borders can be colored differently from the main candle for increasing and decreasing candles

Indicators

Indicator Groups

You can now save complete groups of indicators in v11 which can be applied on any chart, independently from any template.

Indicator labels

You can now choose to display (or hide) the name of all indicators displayed on your charts.
Clicking the name of an indicator allows quick access to indicator settings, hiding the indicator or removing the indicator.

Minimize indicators to title

Click on an indicator and choose "minimize panel" to minimize the indicator to the bottom of the chart without removing it. The indicator title and current value will be shown at the bottom of the chart. Click on the indicator name to restore it.

Indicator settings

Indicator settings have been re-designed to be easier to use.
Indicators with multiple different lines can now be configured within a single panel (colors, line size and thickness, lines displayed or hidden…).

Indicator templates

You can now save several configurations for your indicators and price, and easily switch from one to another.

Color zones

Color zones can all be configured within a single panel also.
A new option lets you define the level of opacity of the color zone in %. A low opacity will give you a more transparent color zone.

Chart studies

You can now create different chart studies which are independent from eachother on the same instrument and timeframe (example: different studies for support/resistance and for Fibonacci/Gann).

Objects in different chart studies are independent from eachother - only the objects you have drawn on a specific study will appear in that study.

Each chart study is specific to a financial instrument and is available no matter what workstation template you are using (ex: multiple screen template or single screen template).

Use the dropdown menu attached to the "Objects" icon to switch quickly between your chart studies or create a new one.

Each study can be displayed on all charts of the instrument or only on a selected chart.
This allows you to display simultaneously several charts of the same instrument with different chart studies.

You can also duplicate a study or move objects from one study to another.

Objects & drawing improvements

Drawing toolbar on charts

The object toolbar can now be displayed or hidden on all charting windows, and in the main ProRealTime window. This will allow you to access drawing tools and objects more quickly.

To display or hide the drawing toolbar from your charting windows, click on the drawing icon at the bottom left.

The toolbar can be customized to display the tools that you use in the order that you want. If your charting window is smaller than the toolbar, use your mouse wheel to navigate through the toolbar.

Objects templates

Create and save several types of configurations per object (ex: red line and green line) to save some time when using drawing tools.

For quicker access, you can add an object template to the objects toolbar or even set up a keyboard shortcut.
