Acuity & Signal Centre tools can be used in a variety of trading platforms, such as MetaTrader 4 and 5, and cTrader. Using the tools directly in these trading platforms facilitates trading, as users can place orders immediately.
Installer Logo and Background Image
When users install the expert advisors or the tools using the executable files, they go through a series of steps in the installer.
The installer by default has an Acuity logo and the icon in the installer window header. This is usually fine as a default option, but it’s better from the user experience standpoint to add your own logo and icon to it, so that it would be easily associated with your brand.
Here is an example of how the default version of the installer looks:
Here is an example of how you might modify it:
To modify the installer this way, please use the following dimensions for the icon and the background image:
- Icon: 128x128px
- Background Image: the full image is 493x312px, but the modified section with the dark background and the logo occupies 180px on the left.
Further modifications
These modifications further help improve the user experience and make it as frictionless as possible by further tying all the steps in the process closer to your brand.
Name of the EA Installer
When users download the expert advisor executable from our platform, the default installer name is AcuityResearchTerminalEAFull.exe
To avoid any confusion, it’s possible to rename this executable so that it would contain the name of your brokerage, for example BrokerName-AcuityTools.exe
EA Prefixes in MetaTrader
By default all the Acuity Expert Advisors and plugins have an “Acuity” prefix in the name. For example, the expert advisors will appear in MetaTrader like so:
- Acuity AnalysisIQ
- Acuity ResearchTerminal etc
You have an option of modifying the tool prefix, so that the expert advisor names would be:
- BrokerName AnalysisIQ
- BrokerName ResearchTerminal etc
