Research Research This window displays important messages that consist of major market issues sent from the brokers to the entire ATC population. It also displays Risk messages such as available credit, etc. Each time a research appears it will be accompanied by a topic first then a message. The broker can make it as specific as possible for quick reference by using the seven templates. The topics are Indices, Currencies, Energies, Grains, Metals, News, and General.

The broker answers the questions/comments via the CHAT box. We highly recommend most questions be transmitted via the CHAT box. It is the most streamline method of communication.

Once you have entered your text you will be offered the SUBMIT button. Click on the SUBMIT button and the broker you selected will receive your message. The drop box is there for your reference so you can repeat your self with previous comments or say the same thing to a different broker by just clicking into the drop box and selected the previously written text.
