Who uses our charting
Used by a multitude of end-users for different purposes
Interpreting data has moved forward dramatically over the past decade, with high-frequency trading, algorithmic trading and data scientists moving into the financial space. Having a reliable and trusted charting provider is easier said than done.
Although the era of the traditional point-and-click trader is becoming less common, with more sophisticated users building automated strategies in languages like Python, there is still a need to visualise data on a chart, annotate ideas and publish analysis. Whether you are a data scientist, a trader in a bank, a dealer executing FX payments or a student, visualisation is still a very important part of any analysis.
Alongside live aggregated FX data from TraderMade in all currency pairs, we can integrate Barchart data for all exchange-traded futures too. Here are some examples of how our users work with the application.
Traders
TraderMade was ground-breaking for FX traders when the company was created in 1984, and we have been helping traders excel in the financial markets for over 35 years.
Traders can view live streaming prices and request full datasets with one button. Dozens of studies and oscillators support quick, confident decisions using tried and tested techniques, and pattern recognition and auto-annotation tools help them understand price action faster. Multiple news feeds are included, there are no restrictions on the number of charts and desktops, and our support and flexible terms are there when markets turn turbulent.
Analysts
A big percentage of our clients are analysts who need to work quickly and efficiently to create views on FX and exchange-traded futures. FX data comes from our aggregated institutional feed, and futures data comes directly from the leading exchanges via our data partner Barchart.
Analysts can add dozens of studies and oscillators with full annotation and highlighting. Larger axes and drawing tools make TM-Pro ideal for presenting to colleagues, managers and groups, and there are no limits on charts or desktops.
Dealers and FX payments
Dealers need superior technical analysis and live pricing so they can relay market-moving price action to clients quickly. The intuitive setup also lets dealers interrogate previously traded FX rates and answer client questions efficiently.
For FX payment companies we provide FX forward rates alongside spot, and a broken forward rate calculator that splits forwards into forward rate, forward amount and forward difference. Our idea-generation research is used by FX payments and deliverable companies alongside the application. Talk to us to see how we can add value to your work.
Treasury
Treasury professionals demand high-quality data that can be interrogated, so point-in-time prices can be verified and analysed. Other providers cannot give the granular detail and historic depth that treasurers require. The online version lets treasurers log in 24/7 without installing anything.
View the live streaming FX rate, build studies, oscillators and line drawings to anticipate movements, and combine the charts with our REST, WebSocket or FIX APIs for the automated part of the job. Speak to our integration specialist about managing risk more effectively.
Brokers and custom integration
Banks, brokers and fintech companies use TraderMade charting to add value for their clients through our custom integration options. Live and historical data are available, with all the major studies and oscillators as standard. Our developers have led integrations with the largest financial institutions as well as start-ups.
This lightweight, cost-efficient turnkey solution keeps customers on your application and lets them create their own technical analysis, improving user experience, customer service and trading volumes. Speak to one of our integration experts for more information.
