When it's time to make a decision, having the most relevant, up-to-date information at your fingertips can make a world of difference.
Think of getting behind the wheel of a car. Across the dashboard are the key controls and instruments that help you make the best navigation, operating and safety decisions possible to get you where you want to go. Every car dashboard looks a little different, and while you might not use all of the gauges or instruments on a regular basis, they are there when you need them – in real time. (After all, a delayed gas gauge notification won't do anyone a whole lot of good.)
A trading dashboard offers you similar convenience. It's an all-in-one tool for real-time market data, investment research, news and trading. In other words, everything in one place to support your investment decisions.
Here's a snapshot of what the all new RBC Direct Investing Trading Dashboard offers you:
- Five fully customizable work spaces so you can monitor and analyze securities your own way
- Quick access to market overviews, your portfolios and your watchlists – with the ability to trade throughout the platform
- A gallery of financial-instrument widgets with in-depth pricing and performance data, charting capabilities, news updates, option chains, order statuses and more
- Access to real-time streaming quotes1 so you can make informed decisions quickly
- Customization capabilities, such as combining, arranging and sizing widgets in each workspace to suit your preferences
- Advanced technical analysis options
Plus, the new RBC Direct Investing Trading Dashboard is free for all clients and can be accessed on any desktop without the need to download additional software.
