Intelligent trading made simple

Designed for technical and system traders, hedge fund managers, commodity trading advisors and other advanced users, IQ-Trader is an excellent tool for professionals who want a comprehensive view of markets and products.

IQ-Trader enables you to perform sophisticated operations without the need for programming skills. Intelligence is in-built, intuitive, automatic.

You have the flexibility to create studies, trade guards, complex strategies - in fact, a huge range of defensive and offensive 'trading plays' - all by pointing and clicking. Moreover, IQ-Trader offers backtesting and optimisation that are unequalled in speed, functionality and ease of use. Seamless automation is guaranteed.

You can create individual studies and layouts using indicators, filters and drawing tools, and you can drag and drop information onto charts. You research, configure and then build your trades step by step. The result is precise control over your trading environment.

As for trading styles, you have (among others) discretionary trading, scalping, fully automated trading, real-time monitoring, and database screening.
