"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".

Quote:

Program trading is a generic term used to describe a type of trading in securities, usually consisting of baskets of fifteen stocks or more that are executed by a computer program simultaneously based on predetermined conditions.[1] They are often used to arbitrage temporary price discrepancies between related financial instruments.

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!)
