Tekstboks: 4D Visual Development

Using a patent pending 4 dimensional Criteria Grid. A criteria is instantly added or removed from the algorithm  by a mouse click, no dragging, no coding, no compiling, no debugging.

Cross Chart Criteria

The Criteria Grid has more the 100 criteria, selectable in each chart/timeframe, providing algorithms using several timeframes in the decision of when to buy and sell.
Tekstboks: Tekstboks: Tekstboks: Solving the missing OR functionality

Multiple Criteria Pages both for entry and exit, provides the missing OR functionality, being the only platform on the market to fully support related entry and exit portfolio strategies and strategy-based partial profit-taking. Colour coding on each page selector for easy administration.

Portfolios of algorithms

Up to 8 New Trade pages and 8 Cover pages. Each Cover page can be bined to specific New trade pages, thus several algorithms can run simultaneously without interfering each other. 

Partial profit-taking

The multiple strategy pages combined with a range of special criteria, provides the missing and important feature of performing partial profit-taking based on sophisticated algorithms.
Tekstboks: Tekstboks: Multiple Symbols

Each chart/timeframe can be configured to use any symbol. Full back-testing using multiple symbols and historical tick data.

For the first time a platform supports  both visual development, back-testing and live trading of algorithms using multiple symbols and tick data.

Multiple Charts/timeframes

Up to 4 charts/timeframes can be used in the algorithms/strategy.

Full back-testing using free tick data

TickTrader provides a full environment for back-testing close to real life. All historical data are free and tick data.

The filter is active both during back-testing and live trading sessions.
Tekstboks: SMS Messaging

TickTrader can be configured to send SMS messages on system events and errors.

SMS messages can also be set in the Criteria Grid to call the trader instead of triggering a trade. During back-testing, SMS messages will be replaced by a SMS-flag to be inspected visually on the charts.

TickTrader uses the SMS gateway from Clickatell.
Tekstboks: Excel Chart 

Excel chart lists all trades both during back-testing and live trading. By double clicking a row in the Excel chart, blue vertical lines will print in all charts for visual inspection of the particular trade.

Tekstboks: Minute Bars M1

The sideways trading from 17:00 to the price drops at 17:13 is shown  as 15 bars. 

The fast price drop at 17:13 is shown as one long and a smaller red bar.
Tekstboks: Range Bars R2

The sideways trading from 17:00 to 17:13 is shown as 5 bars. 

The fast price drop at 17:13 is shown as 8 bars.
. 
Tekstboks: Combined Bars M1R2

The sideways trading from 17:00 to 17:13 is shown as 15 bars. The fast price drop at 17:13 is shown as 9 bars.

Combined Bars both catch sideways trading and fast price drops. This timeframe is in particular useful for automated trading systems, where there is no user to discover the market sentiment.

The up to 50% more descriptive bars has a major influence on the underlaying technical indicators, especially on Bollinger bands and other indicators based on moving average.
The sideways trading from 17:00 to 17:13 is shown as 5 bars. 

The fast price drop at 17:13 is shown as 8 bars.
