When you first start VisualTrader, the first thing you see is the 3D map of the market. The Map consists of cylinders and plates. Each cylinder represents an individual security, and the plate that a cylinder rests on represents the security's industry group. This organizational structure makes it easy to see and understand movements in the market.

The map also serves as a way to navigate through the market data. When you click a cylinder or plate, it brings up the chart for the individual stock or the composite chart for the group. This allows you to easily jump to the best opportunities without having to sort through endless lists.

The VisualTrader Map display is based on measurements. A measurement can be any dynamic indication of movement, such as Trend, Change in Trend, Change in Volume, Volatility, Price Change, or any other formula based on price information. In the map, cylinders depict the values of measurements by assigning them to Height, Width, and Color. This visualization provides a clear picture of what the market is doing.

With VisualTrader's measurements, it is easy to identify profitable situations. For example, if most of the cylinders are red, but one Industry Group is starting to turn green, that group is likely to be the leader in a new rally. VisualTrader gives you the Big Picture!

A popular visualization is the Trend with Changes in Trend. It depicts the strength of the current trend as the height of each cylinder. For the colors, it measures the acceleration which tends to lead the movements in the underlying stock. The coloration helps you stay ahead of the market, by instantly showing emerging strength and weakness across the entire map.

True market visibility requires seeing both the Big Picture and the individual details. That's why we built VisualTrader to have the world's most robust charting tools. With access to more than 150 technical indicators and systems, VisualTrader gives you extensive chart studies, allowing you to understand every bar of every chart in the market.

VisualTrader's analysis also includes preconfigured trading strategies that let you automate your analysis and pinpoint trading opportunities, just like the pros do. The strategies generate actionable buy and sell signals that are then displayed on both the chart and the map.
