New Features
Future DevelopmentsThe decision to move away from a third-party provider gives us full control over the development of our charts and lets us add in new functionality. To this end, we are compiling a list of client requests which are all under consideration for inclusion in future upgrades.
If you would like to suggest any further additions to the charts on Marketmaker:Desktop, please email clientrelations@cmcmarkets.co.uk. |
