What the terminal gives you

Charts and timeframes

21 timeframes, 38 built-in indicators and 44 analytical objects, plus unlimited custom indicators.

Order types and fills

Market execution plus six pending order types, with fill-or-kill, immediate-or-cancel and return policies.

Automated in MQL5

Expert Advisors written in MQL5, with a multi-threaded Strategy Tester for backtesting on real tick data.

Multi-asset terminal

Instruments from different asset classes share one Market Watch, and several account logins sit side by side.

Depth of market

The published order book alongside time and sales, on instruments where a venue provides one.

Economic calendar

Scheduled releases with prior, forecast and actual figures, marked directly on the chart.

Automated trading

Expert Advisors are permitted on every account type with no restriction on order frequency, holding period or strategy style. Scalping is allowed. Hedging is allowed. For latency-sensitive systems we can host your terminal on a virtual private server adjacent to our trading infrastructure, which removes your own connection from the equation.

Expert Advisors run in the desktop terminal only. The web and mobile clients are for analysis and position management. If your trading is automated, treat the desktop terminal as your primary environment and the others as monitoring tools.

An honest word about the phone

A phone screen is a poor place to make an entry decision. Multi-timeframe analysis, careful level marking and deliberate position sizing all suffer on a small display, and the ease of tapping a trade is not the same as the discipline of planning one. The mobile terminal is excellent for managing risk you already took. We would rather say that than pretend it replaces a workstation.
