Okay all you Dealbookers, if you don't have version 2.12.37 then you have some updating to do. A new version of the software platform was released today and includes at least five new enhancements.

Enhancements include the ability to place orders based on a pre-defined break above or below a specific trends line on a chart. More advanced chartists who prefer tocustomize their indicators can now create custom versions of the most popular indicators, rather than relying on pre-built criteria.

In a nice customer-friendly move, GFT has also started alerting clients if the quotes they are using are delayed. This should help eliminate those little pricing surprises, especially for those of you placing market orders.

Another new bit, creating parent and contingent orders. "GFT customers can use a common program language called CTL to create parent and contingent orders to get into and out of a market position, as part of their trading strategy," says the company. "Traders can create strategies that will execute a P&C order, either a certain number of pips above an indicator line or a certain number of pips below an indicator line."
