Overview

EasyTrader is a simplified trading console that allows users to place orders and view Level I and Level II information on a given symbol.  Each user has their own portfolio that is updated with each order placed.  A responsive order entry provides the user with immediate feeback about their order.  Level I and symbols in the user's portfolio can be dragged and dropped to view Level II information.

Open the application twice to see that data is the same in both windows.

Requires Nexaweb Platform 4.5 or higher
