  • All workspaces - turnkey, demo or user defined custom settings produce signals
  • AFT monitors for real-time signals and performs algorithmic signal execution
  • Signals can be filtered with general core filters and real-time only filters

Signal Execution/Trade Entry Modes:

  1. Manual user Click Buy/Sell - OCO / Stop

4) Signals can be filtered historically by the core filters

5) Signals can be filtered only in real-time by Trendometer

6) Signals are executed by the Algo Trader Pro /Easy Trader
