Trade from Charts

You can use our standalone charting package to visually place, edit and delete orders to open new trading positions in PureDeal. Simply switch on our DealThru Charts feature.

The DealThru functionality is found only in Real-Time Charts from the Tools menu. Orders made via the DealThru Charts feature will be reflected in PureDeal automatically. Likewise, orders placed in PureDeal will be shown on the charts (when you have DealThru Charts enabled).

All orders created via DealThru Charts will be 'Orders to Open' and will be shown in the Orders to Open panel of PureDeal. Orders cannot be attached to open positions via DealThru (profit taking and Stop Loss), although attached orders made in PureDeal can be edited via DealThru Charts.

With DealThru Charts activated your current trading on a market is also shown on the chart via a thick blue line at the average opening level, giving you a handy baseline for placing further orders.

Get set up now!

To activate DealThru Charts, you must first activate Real-time charts. Simply visit the Settings page in My Account and agree to the Terms and Conditions.

Once you have activated both Real-time and DealThru Charts, open the standalone charting package as normal and you will see the DealThru feature enabled. We regret that DealThru Charts are not currently available to Limited Risk account-holders.

Special features

In addition to standard Stop and Limit Orders, DealThru also allows you to design your own conditions for opening and closing trades - known as Triggers.

Oblique Line Triggers Draw a sloping line on a chart: if the price performs a 'breakout' DealThru will submit an order to PureDeal (more...)

Alert Triggers The possibilities are endless: use pre-set or custom indicators as conditions for submitting orders to PureDeal (more...)

Important things to note

• Orders are triggered by our 'bid' and 'offer' price - but the charts display our mid price. Sometimes therefore an order line will be marginally breached without your order being filled.
• If you have more than one open position on the same instrument these positions will be aggregated on the chart. You will still have multiple positions open in PureDeal.
• All orders and trades placed using DealThru will go through the same checks (e.g. margin checks) as any other PureDeal trade before they are opened.
• DealThru Charts is for opening orders only - positions should be closed through PureDeal.
