FX Board - why only for Forex and CFDs?

[Lord Devil]

Is there a reason, why you can only add CFD and Forex instruments to the FX Board?

I would really like to add futures here too - since I don't trade CFDs!

Thanks in advance,
Oliver

Hello Oliver,

Yes, unfortunately this is as expected. The FX Board can only be used for forex and CFD instruments. You could use the Market Analyzer to display prices for multiple futures instruments. The Market Analyzer can be setup with various columns to display additional information. Please see the link below for more information.

Sure I know,

but why is this? Is there a specific reason for this? In my eyes this makes no sense, I would love to have the display as in FX Board, because that is much more natural and most people are used to this - much better visibility! If you are trading Futures on EUR/USD thats really a pain :/

I am not sure about the specific reason. I will forward the suggestion to support futures in the FX Board to development. Thank you for your feedback.
