New Features Designed to Give Traders More Power and Control Over their Trading Experience

CHARLOTTE, NC —August 12, 2015 – Online stock and options broker TradeKing Securities today announced the latest upgrades to its TradeKing LIVE trading platform. The innovative TradeKing LIVE HTML5-based platform caters to any type of investor, from the most active and sophisticated to buy-and-hold investors, by offering a powerful, modern trading experience across any device. TradeKing LIVE is available to all TradeKing clients for no additional fee. The TradeKing Live platform received the #1 Broker Innovation Industry Award in StockBrokers.com’s 2015 Online Broker Review.

“Investors of all skill levels need ways to trade smarter, better and faster — whether they’re at their desks or on their mobile devices,” said Kevin Delo, TradeKing’s Chief Information Officer. “When we launched TradeKing LIVE in December 2014, we made a commitment to our clients to introduce new features and functionality on an ongoing basis, all designed to help give them an edge in today’s ever-changing investment world. We believe the new charting, alerts and option tool enhancements we’ve made will make TradeKing the most compelling low-cost trading experience on the market.”

“I like the look and feel of TradeKing LIVE, and appreciate the flexibility the platform offers to accommodate my particular trading style,” says TradeKing client Suthat Naruenartwanich. “TradeKing LIVE is easy to navigate, the charts are straightforward to use, and the holdings module is clear and simple.  I was able to set my holdings module up next to my charts, so I can conveniently monitor both as I trade.”

The company expects to roll out additional TradeKing LIVE upgrades in the fourth quarter of 2015.
