What was the thinking behind the added functionality?
More ability to customise, improved usability, with multimedia support, real time event news, tutorials, opinions and research. Ease of use scores highly on our customers’ requirements as well as the ability to do much of their business on the platform, with access to rates and the necessary information they need around rates.
We have a large user base for Commander in the emerging markets where smaller banks do not have the tools of larger banks. So we put it a lot of effort into making it user-friendly for them, such as adding a position blotter, which gives them daily, intra-day, position evaluations. We customised Commander to help these clients to monitor and control profit and loss, both realised and unrealised, in real time, with both team-wide and individual views available, and providing traders with very detailed risk analysis reports. Te platform provides charting, position evaluation, strategic research economic research and calendars, strategic research, offering trading ideas and information all in one solution.
We followed the same path in terms of the landing page, at first glance it
provides a calendar overview of all the economic data due to be released during the day, as well as access to our research portal.
We also added real-time charting tools which provide greater functionality to clients, with access to a comprehensive historical and real-time overview for a full market picture. A variety of popular technical analysis indicators and overlays are supported. Charts can cover timeframes from 15 seconds to four weeks, over more than four years and our unique ‘Instant Zoom’ enables users to drill down for greater detail, without changing the chart timeframe. FastFill orders, a functionality that enables users to place orders which are not visible to the market, very close to or inside the best possible market spread, can also be visualised on charts easily, with the drag of a mouse.
What other new functionality has been added to Commander?
NDFs have already been added to Commander, and this offering will be expanded to include more currency pairs, such as the currency pairs against the euro. We will accommodate our user base not only in Commander but also on multi-bank portals but Commander is spearheading these initiatives because we clearly want
“As one of the first banks to offer a proprietary
graphical user interface (GUI) and access via its application programming interface (API),
Commerzbank set out to revamp the platform to bring it up to date and into a new era of electronic trading.”
