The Best Features of StrategyBot are listed below.

1. Our Trading Pad is now known as the Trading pad.
   Trading Pad is an always centralized on ask/bid dynamic market depth screen, that does not fall under the category of infringing static market depth software.
   You can use the Trading Pad pane to place and cancel orders, and to track your market position. You can also choose the one-click trading option, which is a faster method for placing and cancelling your orders. The left pane of Exit Styles allows you to define your order management or exit style, such as Brackets, Scale-Outs, MOT, and many more proprietary exit styles. You may open multiple Trading Pad dialog boxes, one for each contract you wish to trade.

2. StrategyBot has been so far the only trading software worldwide combining;
   • Trade Execution (executed faster through dedicated servers)
   • Free Live Intraday and Historical Charting (the Intraday Data is without any delay nor any spread)
   • Automated Trading (with different levels of flexibility offered)
   • Back Testing Capability for development of Automated Strategies
   • Third Party Developers for Automated Strategies
   • Technical Indicators
   • Profit Management
     
3. Auto Trailing Stop. This moves the Stop Loss upwards with a Buy upon the market moving up or downwards with a Sell upon the market moving down. This feature contributes to transform what would be a sure loss with other trading software’s to a sure win once the break-even point has been crossed. Please learn more in our article in August 2004. This feature is probably the most valuable since it saves so much money to traders. You may read our related Pulses article (Sept04 issue). See example below.

4. Fully Automated Trading Strategies (leased monthly per Group). These fully automated Strategies are software algorithms that execute Buy and Sell operations automatically from preset parameters tested for weeks and months prior to commercialisation. Several groups of fully automated Strategies are available for only the most volatile Contracts worldwide among US, Europeans and Asian contracts (EuroFX, Dax, S&P, Nasdaq, Nikkei, Honk Kong index, Taiwan Index etc…) to ensure the best chances of generating Profit. These fully automated Strategies capitalise of each up or down trends and swings of the markets daily. There are 3 types of Strategies; Swing, Trend and Neutral. While a trader can in no way watch all of the markets movements every single second of the day, these fully automated Strategies do. The four classes of parameters used in these fully automated Strategies are; time of execution, number of wins and losses allowed per day, predictive or non predictive conditions under which to buy or sell using or not whichever technical analysis indicator selected, and exit parameters (Limit, Stop Loss and Auto Trailing Stop). Altogether, several hundreds fully automated Strategies are available for lease, though users can also create their own, like what Hedge Fund Managers and some private individuals do. Most experienced traders do implement their own winning strategies, why not automate them using StrategyBot software along with our Tuner software? Go to eStore "How to Select Strategies" and go to "Strategy Development".

   This is the best possible example of how our Fully Automated may perform during a daily Trend. The parameters are defined inside the chart. During "Epsilon" the Strategy determines if it should Buy or Sell. In all 5 wins, the decision was made to Buy, then when it reached the defined Limit it sold.

   
   
   *How a trader highly benefits from having his Trading Strategies running exclusively on StrategyBot and not on other trading platforms available?
   Because of Higher Security and Faster execution.
   
   All Automated Strategies managed by StrategyBot are loaded into dedicated servers.
   Those servers are directly connected to the Exchanges for extremely fast order execution and benefiting from the latest live real time data. Strategies are not loaded in the customer's computer for sure. Otherwise they will be subjected to potential internet connection losses, slow internet speed, potential viruses and would not work 24 hours a day without any possible power interruption etc.... Traders are better off having the Strategies trading in just microseconds from these servers rather than being submitted to long delays for the orders initiated from their own computers. The own computer of the client is only used to watch, or to stop, liquidate, delete, or run again the Strategies or modify the number of lots or direction of the trades. Besides the dedicated servers are supporting a maximum number of traders. Passed a certain limit of number of trades daily, a new additional server is set up to take the extra load.
   

   *Same situation do happen if a Manual Trader creates a Bracket order or Scale out order. Once the dedicated servers receive the parameters of these orders, the computer of the user could be turned off. The servers execute the programmed trades faster and without any spread or delays and at no risks.

5. One Click only for all these following orders; Bracket, Up to 3 Scale Out, Reverse , Trade Out and Market If Touched (MIT).
   

   	-	"Bracket" Orders specific to each contract (with Limit, Stop Loss and Auto Trailing
   		Stop preset). This feature is among the very best of StrategyBot. Once parameters have been preset for each Contract, they remain memorized by the program until changed such that anytime the user may click on Buy or Sell then the Bracket Order will get activated. This saves traders time and ensures that each order Buy or Sell executed will always include those pre-defined Limit, Stop Loss and Auto Trailing Stop values to secure an achievable amount of profit daily for that particular Contract and minimize potential losses. See example below and go to "Set up for One Click Order (Bracket or Scale Out)". » View movie tutorial
   	-	"Up to 3 Scale Out" Orders with or without Auto Trailing Stop, with or without lots,
   		break even or not. This feature is for traders wishing to maximize larger wins with expanded market trends. Each Scale Out order includes a Profit and a number of lots, with all orders benefiting from a common Stop Loss with Auto Trailing Stop if selected. There are many variances available on the setting of parameters involved with the Stop Order definition, upon break even or with Auto Traling Stop. You may read our related Pulses article (july04 issue). See example below. » View movie tutorial
   	-	"Reverse" Orders : With this feature, traders can change long positions to short or
   		vice versa with just one click of the mouse. This saves traders money due to no time wasted. The closing of all open orders for the relevant Contract and opening of new orders is done automatically. Clicking on "Reverse" generates in the opposite direction the same "Exit Style" as set initially for the previous order. If it was a Bracket order, the same Bracket (with the same parameters) is set.   As an example: on a swinging Contract, the user would set a Buy or Sell order with a predefined Bracket or Scale out, then click on Reverse for the rest of the day any time a new Swing goes in the opposite direction of the previous one. The same Limit, Stop Loss and Auto Trailing Stop would be automatically set. However, if those values no longer match for the movements of the new swing, the user would simply modify its values in the "Working Order" Table.
   		This below picture was captured from an expert Trader exercise. The Contract is Euro FX with 6 Manual "Reverse" for a total of 14 trades before the Trade Out. It won 76 points = US$950. The limit and stop defined in the "Bracket Order" were never reached. Upon each Reverse, the same Bracket applied automatically to all Trades (Buy or Sell).
   	-	"Trade Out" Orders : This is the best way to exit both long or short positions upon
   		realizing that the market is moving in the opposite direction of the trade and you are losing, or when MACD is crossed or you wish to liquidate your position upon winning. All open orders for the relevant Contract will be closed (in the "Completed Table"). All open orders in the "Working Table" will be cleared. This feature save traders money due to no time wasted.
   	-	A "Market If Touch (MIT)" Order is a Limit Order placed in anticipation for the
   		market to reach the defined value. A user may place a Buy MIT at a value below the present Market value or place a Sell MIT at a value above the present Market value, hoping that the market will reach the market values indicated. Upon reaching the MIT value, a Market Order is triggered automatically which will appear into the "Last Completed Table" on the bottom right side of the StrategyBot screen. StrategyBot in addition allows any Exit Style (Bracket order or Scale Out order) to be originated along with the MIT order. If an Exit Style is created along with the MIT Order, as soon as the ''Last Completed Table" is filled with the Market order, the Limit(s) and Stop will appear into the Working Table above. These values may be modified anytime within this Working table as the user wishes to. Example of MIT orders: Consecutive Swings changing direction at about the same values "high and low" are being experienced. A conservative trader would place an order in the middle and try to get the next rise or fall for half of the size of the swing. An aggressive trader would place two MIT orders, an MIT Buy at the same value as the previous low reached and a MIT Sell at the previous high reached. Then set the Limit of the Bracket order up to the number of points of the previous swings, with a Stop and Trailing Stop as proportional as what is advisable for the particular Contract.

6. Cover an order with a programmed Exit
   Upon having placed a Direct Order, Buy or Sell without any exit style, of any number of lots, you may at any time later, Cover your order with an Exit (Bracket, Scale Out etc...) on whichever number of Open Positions that you wish. You may base your Cover on Average, or Last or Set Market values. This feature allows you with Overnight Positions to decide how you wish to Cover your remaining Open Positions the next day(s) based on the Open value of the present day.
   
   
   
   Example:
   The day before your Buy order was placed with 5 lots at Market value 4560. The next day the market opens at 4599. You now wish to Cover 4 lots with a Bracket (Limit =40pts, Loss =10pts, Trailing Stop =4Pts) but you would wish to Cover with this Bracket based on the Last price, not on Average nor Set price.
   

7. Account limits Set-up :

   A user can set “How much Maximum Profit” and “How much Maximum Loss” he or she wishes to secure for the day for the entire portfolio. Upon reaching the value defined by either one, profit is secured or loss is capped. Simultaneously, Open Positions in all Contracts (from Manual Trading as well as from Fully Automated Strategies) are closed for the day (Traded Out). This is the best way to secure profit and minimise losses on a daily basis for the whole portfolio account. You may read our related Pulses article (Dec04 issue). Go to Securing Profit & Limiting Losses. » View movie tutorials

    

8. Profit Management Set-up :
   

   In addition to the “Account Limits” feature listed above, a user can secure a “Minimum Profit” for the day and trail that profit up upon the total P&L moving up and up to the last trailed value until the P&L goes down, at which point all orders in all Contracts will be closed for the day securing the trailed Profit. This is an intelligent feature that secures a desired minimum win every day, still taking advantage of potential further wins. Please see our article in the December 2004 issue.

9. All Orders are Tracked or Traced from the first day StrategyBot is used. On the Menu "Account", “Account Report” provides the complete list of all orders with all details generated from day one of a user’s account activation. Our software called Console analyzes these reports and generates charts per Contract per Strategy.
   
   
   
   
10. Free Live Charting of all Worldwide Futures Exchanges (both Intraday and Historical). Upon buying StrategyBot, the user gets Intraday and Historical data Charting for free.

Or members of a family could each set up and monitor their own trading account using the same program and watching from different computers.
    
    
15. Multiple Charts . New from Version 2.2 in February 2005. A user may "Detach" charts from the main window and maximize to display that chart on the whole monitor or detach it to another connected monitor.
