At ACE Markets, the value of features lies not in their availability, but in their usability. Many users manually operate day after day, unaware that the platform already has highly efficient built-in tools. This article will guide you through four advanced yet easy-to-use features: customizable dashboard layouts, cross-chart linked analysis, batch deployment of order templates, and one-click navigation to trading calendar events—learning these will significantly improve your daily trading efficiency.
Customize your dashboard layout: Create your own trading console
After logging into ACE Markets, you can fully customize the main interface layout. Click "Edit Dashboard" in the upper right corner to drag and drop modules to arrange them freely: place the "Positions Panel" on the left, the "EUR/USD Chart" in the center, and the "Economic Calendar" on the right. All adjustments take effect immediately without needing to be saved.
Even more practically, you can create multiple layout options. For example, the "Morning Session Mode" focuses on Asian currency pairs, while the "Evening Session Mode" pre-loads US stocks and crude oil. Switching between them is as simple as clicking the top drop-down menu to select the corresponding mode, completing the interface transition within 3 seconds. This personalized configuration makes complex trading orderly and efficient.
Cross-chart interconnected analysis: One action triggers all actions, revealing connections.
When analyzing both gold and the US dollar index simultaneously, ACE Markets supports "cross-chart synchronization." After drawing a trend line on the first chart (such as XAU/USD), click on the line and select "Sync to other charts," and the system will automatically generate the corresponding time stamp on the second chart (such as DXY).
Furthermore, scrolling the timeline of any chart synchronizes the scrolling of all linked charts; zooming in on the period adjusts all charts uniformly. This linkage allows you to easily verify whether "gold rises as the dollar weakens" without repeatedly aligning time points, significantly improving the efficiency of multi-asset analysis.
Batch deployment of order templates: One strategy, multiple product types
If you have a well-established trading strategy (such as "buy on breakout above previous high, stop loss at 20 points, take profit at 40 points"), you can save it as an "order template". After setting the parameters on the order page, click "Save as Template" and name it something like "Breakout Strategy V1".
The next time you use it, simply go to any instrument's page, click "Load Template," select "Breakthrough Strategy V1," and the system will automatically fill in the lot size, stop-loss, take-profit, and other parameters. You can even apply this template to five instruments at once: select EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, etc., click "Batch Deploy," and five pending orders will be generated instantly. Strategy execution will no longer require repetitive work.
One-click navigation to transaction calendar events: seamless transition from information to action.
ACE Markets features a built-in real-time economic calendar covering major global events. When you see "US CPI data to be released at 20:30," there's no need to manually search for the relevant currency pair—simply click the "Trade" button to the right of the event, and the system will immediately redirect you to the trading page for the USD-related pair (such as DXY or EUR/USD), automatically highlighting the current price and historical volatility range.
Even smarter, the calendar automatically recommends relevant events based on your holdings. For example, if you hold a NAS100 position, the FOMC interest rate decision will be displayed first, along with a quick access to "View NASDAQ Chart". This seamless integration of information and trading allows you to respond to the market faster than others.
In conclusion: It's not about having many functions, but about using them skillfully.
ACE Markets' design philosophy is: keep the complexity to ourselves, and leave the simplicity to the user. The four functions mentioned above require no programming or plugins; they are all built into the standard platform. With proper usage, you can move from simply "being able to trade" to "efficient trading."
