Merrill Edge Platform and Technology

In many ways, the Merrill Edge MarketPro desktop trading platform resembles similar offerings from other brokers, designed to meet the needs of experienced investors. You can customize your MarketPro dashboard with charts, tables and tools, including watch lists that monitor up to 178 different investment statistics. You can save up 25 different dashboard layouts, and if you don’t want to build one yourself the platform offers pre-baked layouts.

The desktop platform provides a good range of investment tools such as:

• Advanced charting with access to over 104 technical indicators.

• Options analysis, including the OptionsPlay tool to test strategies before entering a trade.

• Level II quotes from Nasdaq to get more insight into the details of size and price of current trading action.

However, MarketPro falls short compared to similar platforms for day trading in that there are no one-click trades to respond rapidly to changing markets, and no option to set up conditional orders. These are major shortcomings for active traders.
