CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 1, 2004
Chart-Ex, LLC announced the introduction today
of an enhancement to their signature
interactive chart, adding the display of net
CTI volume numbers to their already
information-rich web site. Users can now
choose to display, in addition to the total
volume traded at each individual price for a
given time period, net CTI volume numbers at
each price.
Chart-Ex has also responded to users' requests
for usability enhancements by making it easy
to lock the marker line in their interactive
chart at a particular price, which they can now
do by clicking on the chart once to set the
lock, and again to release it.
It is equally easy to cycle through the total
volume and net CTI volumes by holding down the
"shift" key while clicking on the chart.
Chart-Ex President, Lisa Erdmier, said,
"Chart-Ex strives to give traders what they
need to make informed trading decisions, and
showing the net position of each CTI player
does that. With our unique chart, we give
traders a competitive edge by making the
dynamics of the market's price action more
transparent."
CTI types are an industry-wide standard for
classifying trades made by the type of trader
completing the transaction, and are defined
as:
-
CTI 1 (e.g. Floor Traders) -Transactions
initiated and executed by an individual member
for his own account, for an account he
controls, or for an account in which he has
ownership or financial interest.
-
CTI 2 (e.g. Commercials) -Transactions executed
for the proprietary account of a clearing
member or non-clearing member firm.
-
CTI 3 -Transactions where an individual
member or authorized trader executes for the
personal account of another individual
member, for an account the other individual
member controls or for an account in which
the other individual member has ownership or
financial interest.
-
CTI 4 (e.g. Managed Funds) - Any transaction
not meeting the definition of CTI 1, 2 or
3. (These should be non-member customer
transactions).
Founded by Doug Erdmier, a long-standing Board
of Trade Member, and his wife, Lisa Erdmier,
Chart-Ex, LLC has developed a radically simple
way to view financial data at a glance.
