THANK YOU!
That is the type of reply I was hoping for. The appears to be hope :-)
I was thinking of creating a display that would show me a overview of market time-zones, normalized investment charts, etc. Using gfx one can easily create horizontal bars that would reveal at a glance market activity for foreign markets. One could even use colors to indicate max/min volume or index movement. Positions could be similarly displayed in histograms scaled to normalized values, or ones own currency. The idea is to make it easy to trade/monitor portfolios with mixed foreign content.
Would anyone know if such tools are already available?
A questions for frankphd_us: in your opinion, what kind of tools would facilitate trading mixed foreign markets?
thanks and best regards,
herman
