RBC Direct Investing is launching a customisable, web-based trading dashboard, available free to all its clients. The trading dashboard includes a number of features RBC says make it stand out, including no need to download.

Specifically, the dynamic trading dashboard elevates the trading experience for self-directed investors. This means it is easier to monitor and trade with confidence.

RBC Direct Investing trading dashboard features

These include the ability to easily customise views with the investor’s choice of interactive components and widgets. This provides advanced traders with full control of how they view market data.

Other features include:

  • News and research readily accessible on the Dashboard;
  • Advanced charting capabilities, drawing tools, and real-time visual indicators to give investors an in-depth picture of North American equity markets. This makes it easier to spot opportunities and act on them
  • Online video tutorials embedded in the dashboard. This helps clients get started and make full use of the platform.

RBI editor Douglas Blakey speaks with Lori Darlington, President & CEO, RBC Direct Investing

“Our clients told us what they were looking for. The features we’ve introduced reflect their feedback, including their two top asks for the dashboard: the ability to customise and configure views and the ability to access news and research,” says Lori Darlington, President & CEO, RBC Direct Investing.

“This is such an exciting time for self-directed investors and the online brokerage industry. We continue to see more Canadians choosing to start trading themselves. We’re committed to enabling this trend and responding to the needs of both new and more experienced investors. We’ll continue to innovate, to deliver additional capabilities to support our clients.”

The trading dashboard continues to build upon RBC’s self-serve options to bring investors a superior investing experience.

Other enhancements include:

  • A Value Analyser tool. This gives clients a concise view of key information to help them evaluate a stock’s value, complete with a forecasting feature that shows the fair value of a company change, based on shifting assumptions for earnings growth.
  • The consolidation of screeners for stocks, ETFs and mutual funds on one link in the navigation menu. And so investors can populate a watch list with multiple investment products without the need to navigate from page to page.
  • Free access to real-time streaming quotes for all clients. This includes Level 2 quotes on TSX and TSX-V. It includes up-to-the-moment information about the top 10 bid and ask prices. This essentially brings clients onto the trading floor. It enables them to quickly move from monitoring up-to-the-moment information to placing trades.

RBC Direct Investing also gives clients access to three powerful trading platforms. Namely, an online investing site, the web-based Trading Dashboard and a redesigned mobile experience for investors to track the markets.
