Algorithmic Trading.

Automated trading with Expert Advisors that analyse quotes and trade without the trader present.

What a robot does

Trading robots analyze quotes and perform trading operations following an underlying algorithm, without the participation of the trader.

Robotize a strategy

If you have a successful trading strategy, you can automate it and leave routine market analysis and trading to the platform.

Or use a ready-made one

If you are not enthusiastic about programming, choose from thousands of ready-to-use trading applications from the Code Base, the Market, or the Freelance service.

In depth

The Detail Behind It.

Three short notes on how this works day to day.

In practice

Automation rewards strategies with clear rules. If you can write down exactly what makes you enter, size and exit, that can be coded; if the decision relies on judgement in the moment, a robot will not reproduce it.

Worth knowing

A robot does what it was told, including in conditions its author never considered. Testing on historical data and running on a demo account first are the two steps that separate a working system from an expensive lesson.

Who it is for

This page is for traders with a rules-based method, and for anyone who cannot watch the market during the hours their strategy needs.

Context

Where This Fits.

How automation sits inside the Trade Master 9 platform.

Automation in the platform

Algorithmic trading means automated trading through specialised applications — trading robots, or Expert Advisors — which analyse quotes and trade to an algorithm without the trader present. The platform supplies the full development environment and the MQL5 language for building and optimising them, alongside thousands of ready-made applications for traders who prefer not to code.

Good to know

TM9 is a software development company and does not provide investment or brokerage services. The platform supplies the trading terminals, analysis tools and automation; your broker holds the funds, sets spreads and leverage, and executes the orders the platform sends. Trading carries a real risk of loss, and signals or robots are tools rather than financial advice.
