Xtend2 also helps traders individualize their trading experience by enabling them to organize their platform however they want through simple one-step functionality.
"We believe Xtend2 is the most intuitive and flexible trading platform available. It allows customers to design a trading platform that looks the way they want with a few easy clicks of the mouse,” says optionsXpress Chief Innovation Officer Sairam Rangachari. “Traders will find that beyond the incredible power and great-looking design, Xtend2 is also really a blast to use."
