optionsXpress Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: OXPS) today unveiled a beta
version of Xtend2, a sleek new downloadable trading console that
gives investors control over every aspect of their trading experience
(see it in action at www.myxtend.com).
Combining the power of existing streaming trading platforms with the fun
and ease of use of an innovative and intuitive design, Xtend2
helps provide traders with the support they desire in today’s
fast-moving markets.
"Xtend2 is designed for traders who want to be more engaged
in the markets by bringing speed, power and customization together to
create a truly unique experience,” says David Fisher, Chief Executive
Officer of optionsXpress Holdings, Inc. “People will be blown away not
only by its power and flexibility, but also by how easy it is to use.”
The markets are constantly on the move, which is why Xtend2 is
designed to adapt quickly to a trader’s changing needs. This next
generation platform builds on common features of active trader platforms
such as streaming quotes and one-click trading while adding innovative
new features like drag-and-drop symbols, detailed trade views and ladder
trading. Xtend2 also helps traders individualize their trading
experience by enabling them to organize their platform however they want
through simple one-step functionality.
Xtend2 users can establish communities with other traders to
instantly share investing thoughts and trading tips. Like all
optionsXpress products and services, Xtend2 is backed by fast,
reliable online support with convenient, one-click access to our
dedicated customer service team.
“We believe Xtend2 is the most intuitive and flexible trading
platform available. It allows customers to design a trading platform
that looks the way they want with a few easy clicks of the mouse,” says
optionsXpress Chief Innovation Officer Sairam Rangachari. “Traders will
find that beyond the incredible power and great-looking design, Xtend2
is also really a blast to use.”
With a recently updated browser-based platform and now a downloadable
console in Xtend2, customers at optionsXpress continue to
benefit from our constant stream of innovations. See more at www.myxtend.com
