Making your life a little bit greener couldn’t be easier.

Now you can take your trading completely online by switching to electronic account statements. You’ll not only help Mother Nature by eliminating needless paper, you’ll help streamline your own recordkeeping and account management as well.

Making the switch is simple. Just log in to your account and click on the Profile link under the Account tab. Select Communications Preferences, then e-Delivery Settings, and check the Electronic Only radio buttons for confirms and statements. Save your changes, and just like that you’ve done something good for yourself and the environment.

So why wait? Save a tree – and your own organizational sanity – with electronic account statements.

If you’re considering an investment and want to find out if the numbers align with your objectives, our new Trade and Probability Calculator may help you see things more clearly.

Now in addition to determining risk and reward, buying power, and the financial feasibility of potential strategies, the new probability function allows you to overlay a probability curve onto the Trade Calculator chart by manipulating and calculating percentages, standard deviations, and target prices. The Percentage Play feature even lets you work backwards by entering a probability to find a price point and get an immediate picture of the possibility.
