Trading robot and algo trading support for your platform.
Many clients use a trading robot, usually an expert advisor, or run algo trading strategies of their own. Supporting them well means setting clear rules, choosing the right plugins and watching the load they place on your server.
Setting your robot policy
Decide which automated strategies you allow, and publish the rules. Some brokers limit extremely high-frequency activity or certain tactics. A clear policy prevents disputes and protects other clients’ execution.
Plugins worth considering
Depending on your offer, plugins can cover signals and copy features, risk and exposure tools, and challenge workflows for prop-style products. Add them for a defined purpose, test them on a staging copy and keep an owner for updates.
Load, hosting and support
Automated traders generate more requests than manual ones. Size your server with that in mind, and agree who supports plugin issues. Related content: our signals and gold analysis page.
Communicating with automated traders
Explain your policy where traders will see it: the website, the account agreement and the terminal welcome message. Offer a contact route for technical questions. Respectful, specific communication reduces disputes and attracts serious algo trading clients.
Questions we hear
Do clients need a VPS for a trading robot?
Many do, because the robot must stay online. Some brokers offer or recommend hosting; make the arrangement clear.
Can I restrict certain strategies?
Yes, through your terms and platform settings, within your agreement. State the rules before clients deposit.
