Online currency trading terminology
 

Dear Dwellars!
Do any of you do this sort of thing? I am looking for the right terminology for a couple of things ....Can ya halp me?

Go ahead and throw your questions out there - lets see what we can find out.

"to look up dates, prices or other data points at the selected point on a chart" - is there anything better than "other data points", should it simply be "other information". Particularly as I don't want to repeat the word "point" in the sentence if I can avoid it!

"other information" sounds fine to me.

Thanks. I'll be back with more if there is more ... :)

"trading signals to buy or sell financial instruments sent to you by your trading robot"
These are push notifications to a mobile platform ... "trade prompts" instead of "trading signals"? "Financial instruments" - what do people really call these? "Trading robot" - maybe "automated trader" would be better?

hmm... trading robot? never heard that term.
Can you rephrase it to use "automatic trading" and avoid the whole robot/bot issue?

Try "program trading".

Thanks Classic and BigV. I went with automated trader, trading prompts and financial instruments (I can't believe that's what people really say. But then if you have a spinning wheel you need a thing called an orifice hook. Some people have no imagination, or sump'n!)
