M4SL - The Web Browser Based Trading Platform
Our new Microsoft Silverlight Edition of the M4 desktop trading platform is based on Silverlight 5.0 and takes full advantage of all the latest features of the new browser based technology designed by Microsoft.
Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-platform technology that runs on Windows, Macintosh and Linux inside a wide variety of web browsers including Internet Explorer, FireFox, Safari, Opera, Chrome and many others.
Familiar Development Environment
Developers have previously resorted to using either Flash, Java or JavaScript based technologies to develop online trading applications. The Microsoft Silverlight environment uses XAML and C#, which is a language that most software developers are already familiar with.
Microsoft Silverlight has a fast growing community of developers. You may post and receive answers to many Silverlight related topics on the Microsoft Sivlerlight Developer Forums free of charge.
Dynamic Financial Charting
M4SL uses our already-proven StockChart SL charting component, which supports real-time charting for stocks, futures, options and forex. Updates can be made to the chart in real-time while the market is trading. Traders may add technical indicators, line studies or change color properties via the built-in functions and properties that are exposed by the C# API.
Features
M4 SL features over 60 popular technical indicators that may be customized by the end user, complete navigational control (zooming and scrolling), extended line styles and color properties, user-drawn line studies, an order entry / portfolio screen, a forex pairs screen, a level 1 quote screen plus much more.
Data Providers
M4SL comes with the Barchart, Inc. data feed API pre-integrated. You can use the supplied data server to integrate additional data providers such as eSignal, IQFeed and others.
M4 Silverlight vs. M4 Desktop
Although M4SL can be deployed as a stand-alone trading platform, the product was designed to work in parallel with our desktop-based M4 trading platform. Please note that the Silverlight based platform is a thin client that does not offer scripting capabilities, therefore alerts, back testing, automated trading and scanning are not implemented.
