Commodity Broker Lind-Waldock Launches New Enhanced Web Site, www.lind-waldock.com
Extensive Futures Quotes, Charts and News Available at No Charge
Chicago, February 19, 2008 – Lind-Waldock, the premier futures broker for individual investors, has launched a newly enhanced Web site, www.lind-waldock.com. The new site offers more user-friendly features and functions, including cutting-edge, customizable commodity futures and options quotes, charts and news, available to site visitors online anytime at no charge. A tour of our site highlighting some of its features is available in an online demo.
"The new site was designed with speed, style, and ease of navigation in mind. The new Lind portal provides enhanced technology, innovative trading support and tools, and intuitive navigation," said Mark Sachs, President of Lind-Waldock.
For those new to futures, the "New to Futures Trading" area on Lind-Waldock's home page is the place to learn about futures and options. "Experienced Futures Trader" highlights tools, services and resources targeted to those already familiar with commodity futures trading.
Visitors and clients alike can chat at anytime with a representative through an interactive chat tool on every page of the Web site, and view special offers and key market price quotes. Upcoming special events are posted at the bottom of the screen, such as live educational webinars. Anyone interested in attending our online seminars can sign up quickly and easily, at no cost.
Quotes/Charts/News
Lind-Waldock's Quotes, Charts and News section of the site is better than ever. While Lind-Waldock has long provided free commodity data, it's been upgraded and is now more intuitive, providing just the data traders and investors interested in commodity futures need quickly and easily--with fewer clicks. Visitors to the site have free unlimited access to delayed quotes, charts and news, while clients can select from a number of affordable real-time data packages.
"We're especially pleased with our new quotes/charts/news section, which was built with cutting-edge Web 2.0 technology. Our new data portal was designed with the needs of our clients in mind, and provides improved sorting, an options chain page and a ‘My Watchlist' customizable data page," said Sachs.
Individuals can set up a customized "watchlist" of futures quotes, or view our default list of the most popular markets. Up to five contract months can be seen in a drop-down menu, and data can be sorted by commodity group: stock indexes, forex, interest rates, grains, energy, meats, meals, softs, and single-stock futures. Users can also find options on futures data quickly and easily.
Lind-Waldock also offers a variety of technical charting tools, which can be accessed by clicking through different contract months for a chosen market via the chart application. These are a just a few highlights. Individuals should visit the Quotes, Charts and News section to see more.
