Using CQG conditions to automate trading

Here is a short video showing how to automatically trade using CQG and KaiTrade

The key points are that you can set up complex conditions in CQG and then link these to the StrategyPad in the KaiTrade Accelerator. 

The strategy pad lets you:

• enter orders into the market and exit trades(cancel working or flatten position)
  
• run advanced strategies such as our SuperScalper and other trading strategies.
  

These features allow a CQG great flexibility to automate and manage their trading.

Into April!

March has been a great month; we have three new client firms that are now all trading using the KaiTrade Accelerator, some with custom plugins. The common thread is the need for a broker neutral platform that can be used to provide the algorithms and custom function their traders need quickly and at the right price.

New Tools

We have introduced a scalping plugin that sits on top of the KaiTrade platform called XXXLOT, this tool is an on the market trade executor where a buy and or sell are placed in the market and when a buy is filled the XXXLOT places a sell at the best offer and vica versa for the sell, its Auto mode makes it very effective in the current market condition.

Simple Deployment

We have adopted Microsoft ClickOnce as our way for deploying the system when combines with our ability to permission individual traders for the various access and functions we offer, gives enormous flexibility to handle a large user base.
