Strategy Runner offers the first server-based online trading platform that takes system trading to a new level of execution and security, and provides new possibilities for investors, traders, brokers, system vendors, commodity advisors, trading gurus and educational companies.
In traditional client-based solutions for strategy execution, orders and signals are originated and executed on client computer.
| How a server-based solution works? |
|||||||
| 1. |
Orders are
not executed on the clients computer. Instead, the Strategy Runner server at the broker's site originates and executes the trades generated by all strategies, in all their respective subscribers' individual accounts. |
|
|||||
| 2. | Each individual subscriber can monitor and control the execution of their strategies through the Strategy Runner Pro console. | ||||||
| 3. | The head trader of a group of traders can monitor and manage all trader accounts via the Strategy Runner Manager tool. | ||||||

Client-based Problem |
Server-based Solution |
| Internet bandwidth, and/or unavailability causes delays in execution and confirmation, and even loss of orders | Direct line from server to exchange provides execution and confirmation of orders with no network delays, and no lost orders |
| Crash or overload of client's home computer may prevent generation of signals | Strategy Runner's Reliable server hardware, dedicated to the trading application, ensures all signals are generated on server |
| If the trader's computer is shut no signals are generated. | Servers run 24/7, therefore all signals are generated. The trader's console is for monitoring and control. |
