Etrade review

Some Great New Features straight after the Power Etrade Pro review was written, Etrade released a new update that contained some great new features that are totally worth discussing. Besides a minor overhaul to the layout of the core menus ( which offers the user more screen real-estate to work with ), there were two major additions.

Streaming CNBC Video Feed

The largest and most obvious new feature is the arrival of a live streaming CNBC video feed. The feed appears to work all of the time and there’s no stuttering or delay. As well as a live feed, they offer smaller clips featuring stories from other CNBC programs ( Fast Money , Insane Cash , The Kudlow Report, etc… ). The clips are organized in categories titled U.S, Europe, Far East, CEO’s, and researchers.

UI Enhancements

Another great new feature is the facility to move individual windows outside the limits of your request window. This implies that if you have the window reduced to less than full-screen, you can move your sub-windows out of the program to an area above your plain desktop area ( or above a webpage or another plain program window you could have open ).

This is terribly handy if you employ the desktop for commonly-used shortcuts and latterly downloaded files and thus do not need to run the program in full-screen mode. If you have multiple monitors, it’s far better. You can run the Power Etrade Pro application in full-screen mode on one monitor, and then drag your sub-windows onto the other monitor.

You can even open the sub-window in full-screen mode on the second monitor, which is helpful for big watchlists. Manifestly if you have more than two monitors set up, you can spread out and organize your info even more.

This functionality is applicable to all Power Etrade Pro sub-windows, including watchlists, basic daily and intra-day stock charts, technical charts, options chains, level two quotes, time and sales, News, and more.
