Siri gets to answer questions from TradeStation Mobile users
TradeStation Mobile app for iOS devices becomes more accessible, as traders get to ask Apple’s intelligent assistant questions about their performance.
Back in July last year, when TradeStation unveiled a range of changes to its corporate image and strategy, the company said it would target a growing clientele, including more millennials and younger traders. John Bartleman, President of TradeStation Group, said the company will be taking the technology into a new direction – with more mobile and web-based offerings to suit this type of clientele.
The latest version (3.11) of the TradeStation Mobile application for iOS devices is in line with this business strategy. It makes the app more accessible for owners of iOS gadgets.
Traders can now add their TradeStation Quotes List to their iOS Today Widgets. More interestingly, TradeStation Mobile is getting closer to Siri, Apple’s intelligent personal assistant. She usually takes care of mundane tasks when iPhone users ask her for assistance with calling or texting. TradeStation Mobile now allows traders to get more information about their performance from Siri. For instance, a trader can ask Siri questions like: “Hey Siri, what are my TradeStation Balances?”
Speaking of virtual assistants, let’s recall that the list of projects on which TradeStation Sandbox, a fintech accelerator and think-tank program, is working on includes the “SandBot”. This is an AI-based chatbot that helps traders find new trading opportunities while keeping them connected to the markets. It allows traders to get the price of a stock, ETF, or futures contract by entering a few key strokes. In addition, SandBot is able to investigate an idea that interests a given trader. The bot produces suggestions and the trader gets to decide which combination of symbols best meets his/her goals.
TradeStation regularly updates its mobile applications. Version 3.10 of TradeStation Mobile offers support for viewing deeper market depth through the all-new Matrix. Traders can quickly send and manage orders directly from the Matrix.
The application now also offers Order Entry Defaults. Traders can save time by setting up their customized Order defaults for each trade. The functionality is available through the in-app “Settings”. In addition, traders can make use of quicker order entry by choosing to bypass the Order Confirmation dialog from within the in-app settings. This will expedite the order entry process.
