Features Breakdown
Market Alerts
To provide alternative trade ideas, we’re including the Market Alerts with the highest confidence level—90% or higher—on both a daily and hourly basis. Clicking this tile will take the user to the AssetIQ page. Further updates to the Research Terminal will also open the selected Market Alert on the chart.
Why does it matter?
Market Alerts provide customers with alternative trade suggestions (not based on technical analysis). We are revealing more potential trading opportunities by emphasizing Market Alerts with the highest confidence levels.
News Volume Metrics
We’re looking at a selection of the most popular assets across all asset classes (FX Majors, Top Indices, Top Cryptos, Top Commodities, Popular Equities) and checking their news coverage vs. the 14-day average. The asset with the largest spike over the average news volume from each asset class will be pushed out to the widget. Clicking this tile will take the user to the AssetIQ page with the selected asset.
Why does it matter?
For a variety of instruments, news providers typically publish a reasonably consistent volume of news. Because more popular instruments (such as top stocks, FX majors, etc.) typically receive more articles than others, focusing on the absolute news volume won't lead to any fresh insights. Instead, we're examining how the most recent news volume compares to the average for each instrument. Increases in volume over average may indicate that there are important events affecting the instrument, which traders should look into.
High Impact Economic Events
We are monitoring the High Impact Economic Events and are including the events which are due to occur in the next 3 hours (not to overload this section with event data). Clicking this tile will take the user to the Calendar widget with this specific event selected.
Why does it matter?
When High Impact Economic Events miss or beat predictions, they tend to produce large volatility in the instruments they touch, which traders should monitor.

High Surprise Economic Events
We are looking at events which can bring the highest amount of volatility, in particular:
- GDP
- PMI
- Inflation/CPI
- Unemployment/Employment (NonFarm Payrolls are included here).
We are then pushing out events which are either above or below the expectation out to the widget. Clicking this tile will take the user to the Calendar widget with the event in question pre-selected.
Why does it matter?
The logic with these tiles is similar to the High Surprise Corporate Events. If a critical economic indicator, such as the ones mentioned above, is reported to be higher or lower than the expectations, this has the possibility of causing significant volatility in the underlying instrument prices.

Anticipated Earnings Events (High Impact Corporate Events)
We are monitoring the Earnings events from companies included in the NASDAQ100 index and are including Earnings events that are due to occur in the next 24 hours. Clicking this tile will take the user to the Corporate Calendar with this specific event selected.
Why does it matter?
Following earnings announcements, share prices are very volatile. Businesses that outperform analyst estimates typically see their stock prices soar, while those that fail typically face a decrease. Trading possibilities will increase if we emphasize the biggest and most anticipated earnings reports, especially if we highlight projected price moves based on past occurrences.

High Surprise Earnings Events
After companies report the Actual figures for their Earnings per Share, we check if they beat or miss the estimates. If they beat or miss the estimates by 50% or more, we are pushing such Earnings Events out into the widget, as there are opportunities associated with trading these shares. Clicking this tile will take the user to the Calendar widget with the event in question pre-selected.
Why does it matter?
As mentioned earlier, businesses that outperform the analysts’ estimates tend to experience a price spike (and vice versa). But the biggest price spikes or falls will usually be seen with businesses that beat or miss the estimates by a significant amount. We are showing here companies that report results that are either 50% or more above or below expectations.

Why does it matter?
Many traders seek to uncover sure-fire trading chances as quickly as possible, especially new or inexperienced traders. We are saving them a great deal of time and effort by providing them with our greatest confidence Trading Ideas.

Top Movers based on Price
For the daily price movements, we look at the biggest gainers and losers in terms of price currently. The biggest gainers and losers are provided for each asset class, meaning that on a daily basis we would usually have 5 Top Gainers and 5 Top Losers in this section (one for each asset class we have). Clicking this tile takes the user to the AssetIQ page with the selected asset.
Why does it matter?
Opportunities in the direction of the trend can be found when instruments within an asset class show the biggest swings up or down (so traders can earn money if the trend continues). Users can also take positions that are in opposition to price movement to profit from corrections.
