Packets#
The Packet Viewer provides users with a powerful tool for analyzing streaming financial data. It presents this data in a candlestick chart format, allowing users to visualize market movements over time. What sets the Packet Viewer apart is its capability to drill down into any individual candlestick.
By selecting a specific candle, users can access detailed transaction packets that comprise the candle’s data. This level of granularity offers traders a deeper understanding of market activity and transaction specifics, enabling more informed decision-making and precise analysis of trading patterns. The Packet Viewer is an invaluable tool for those who need to scrutinize and interpret high-frequency trading data at the most detailed level.
Indicators On-screen#
The Chart Indicators provides a robust set of tools for enhancing technical analysis of stock data. This feature allows users to overlay various technical indicators onto their candlestick charts, such as Bollinger Bands, Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and more.
By integrating these indicators, users can gain valuable insights into market trends, volatility, and momentum. The ability to visualize and analyze these indicators in conjunction with the raw data enables traders to make more informed decisions and refine their trading strategies with greater precision. This extension is designed to support comprehensive technical analysis, helping traders to identify patterns and signals that are crucial for successful trading.
Indicators Extensibility#
The flexibility to extend functionality continues with the ability to create custom indicators. Users can develop and integrate their own technical indicators by writing Python code, allowing for personalized and specialized analysis that meets unique trading strategies or analytical requirements.
The custom indicators can be tailored to specific needs, providing traders with the tools to enhance their charts beyond the standard set of built-in indicators. This extensibility ensures that users can adapt the platform to their particular trading style or market conditions, further amplifying the power of their technical analysis and decision-making processes. The code-view of a custom indicator, as shown in the next screenshot, demonstrates how users can bring their custom analytical tools to life within the LIT platform.
Strategies#
The Strategy Builder empowers users to craft sophisticated trading strategies through an intuitive visual query editor. Traders can define complex conditions, such as “when the predicted value exceeds 0.6 and the SMA100 is above the EMA200, then trigger a buy event.” This visual query editor simplifies the process of creating and refining trading strategies by allowing traders to specify conditions and rules using an easy-to-understand interface.
The screenshot illustrates this functionality in action, with a candlestick chart displayed above and a prediction line chart below. Green arrows on these charts indicate the buy signals generated based on the trader’s strategy, offering clear visual cues for actionable trading decisions. On the right side of the screenshot, the query builder showcases how the strategy was formulated, providing transparency and allowing for easy adjustments.
This feature ensures that traders can visually monitor and implement their strategies, enhancing their ability to make data-driven trading decisions with confidence.
