PLANTATION, Fla., Sept. 6, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TradeStation, the award-winning broker-dealer and futures commission merchant, announced today the launch of a new website designed to help visitors to the site find the information they're looking for with ease and efficiency.
"The content of the site has been totally re-written, re-designed and organized into a more logical information architecture making it easier for new and existing clients to quickly discover the key benefits of our technologies, products, pricing, and educational resources," said James Covert, Director of Product Management, Web Applications, and Lead Designer.
To make finding information faster and more intuitive, the former TradeStation Support Center has been reorganized into three new areas: Client Center, TradeStation Community and Education Center.
The Client Center provides TradeStation clients with easy, one-stop access to all of their account management and reporting tools. TradeStation Community is now the home for TradeStation's very active Discussion Forums and Trader Wiki, which continue to garner the interest of new and existing clients.
The new Education Center is now divided into three key areas: TradeStation Labs, TradeStation University and the Event Center:
-
TradeStation Labs offers timely articles covering technical and market analysis concepts, and hosts a series of webcast events featuring well-known traders and market analysts in the industry providing both unique perspective and educational benefits.
-
TradeStation University provides a comprehensive educational foundation for TradeStation clients of all levels. The University is divided into four areas: TradeStation Basics, Strategy Trading, EasyLanguage and Markets and Trading.
- The Event Center provides a singular entry point to TradeStation's wide array of live and online events. Clients can register for upcoming live events, gain access to on-demand webcasts 24 hours a day, and download sample TradeStation workspaces and EasyLanguage documents. The Event Center also keeps clients on their chosen path of learning through direct integration with the University and Labs areas for easy navigation.
"The new website was conceived with the express purpose of giving TradeStation clients and interested prospective clients all the tools they need to enhance their knowledge and experience using TradeStation," said John Roberts, Chief Operating Officer. "We're confident they will recognize and appreciate these improvements, and we look forward to expanding the functionality of our website with this new foundation."
