Operating system
We currently directly support Windows 98 / Me / 2000 / XP / Vista / 7. There is a development version that can work through Wine simulator on Linux and some other Unix operating systems, but we do not have a release version at this moment. If you have Mac OS, you may use PC simulator.
No linux version
There is only 0.4% of our web site visitors that have Linux OS installed. The release version is much more than releasing an executable and will have to include Linux support that we are currently unable to provide. Unfortunately there is no economical backing to launch a Linux client version at this moment. On the other hand, Marketiva runs all its servers on Linux.

Wiki indicators
We are offering a number of indicators to raise your trading to a higher level. You could easily combine indicators based on different mathematical models to get the best trading results. To read more on various indicators please go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_analysis page.

To add a new indicator on a chart: right-click within the [Charting] window. On context menu click [Indicators] and click on one of the indicators offered. You are then able to adjust default settings for added indicator, find out more details about the indicator and to remove it immediately. Place cursor within the [Charting] window and click or wait for few seconds for settings pane to hide.

When the settings pane opens on the left of the [Charting] window, you can change indicator's parameters or click [Remove this indicator].

In order to monitor multiple charts at the same time, you need to right-click on an existing chart and select [New Charting Tab] option. When the new chart shows up, you can click on its tab and drag it to a place you prefer. You can also save your chart configurations in a chart collection, so you can later open these charts quickly.
Read charts
In the top-right corner of the [Charting] window, you can see market instrument ID and timescale shown in the chart. The x-axis refers to the date and time while the y-axis refers to the selected instrument price. Movement of the instrument's price can be displayed in various forms, like a curve, bars and candlesticks that spread from left to right.
Chart transforms to line
If you see your chart as one horizontal line, it happened because you placed a fixed horizontal line (indicator) for one instrument and then changed to an instrument with a completely different price range (e.g. one instrument can range around 1.2000 and the other can range around 120.00). To fix that, simply remove all the indicators from the chart, by selecting that option in the chart context menu.
