Ease of use

Some services can be a bit like Ceefax to operate. With Alpha, to view a different instrument simply start typing its name.

Alpha’s heatmaps are packed with hidden layers of information to save you having to go search for it – invaluable if you are on the phone to a client - or to save you having to find space for it (Fig. 1).

  • Mouse over news flags to read the latest news for a company
  • Mouse over ex-div flags to read the ex-div date and the type and value of the dividend
  • Mouse over mid prices to reveal bid, offer, spread and volume traded.

We’ll customise your screen layout so that it focuses on the information of most importance to you. We can create other layouts for you as well – you can switch between them with a single click of the mouse.

Market Overview (Fig. 2) tells you what’s happening in the UK equity market. It has the screen divided into FTSE 100 heatmap, live news feed, and the FTSE 100 intraday chart. Heatmap flags highlight breaking news, ex-dividend stocks, triggered alarms, bid situation and portfolio holdings. Mouse-over these flags to reveal a further level of information.

Equity Research (Fig. 3) includes in-depth data for a selected company: company results and ratios, broker forecasts and ratings, key dates, and sector ranking.

Collectives Research (Fig. 4) helps you quickly identify the most attractive investment opportunities in particular sectors. Separate tables and graphs for unit trusts, investment trusts and ETFs.

Global Overview (Fig. 5) helps you keep an eye on international stock markets, commodities and currencies so you can quickly gauge the factors affecting or likely to affect the UK market.

Charting (Fig. 6) provides the chartist with multiple views of the same instrument using different analytics..

If you have multiple Alpha Terminal users, you can create a suite of screen layouts that meet all your organisational needs. We can help define and configure these layouts at installation. The same configuration files can be easily added to new installations within the business.
