Automated Trading

We are happy to present our free & open-source trading platform called PTL Trader. This application allows our users to execute their portfolios of pair trading strategies live, in real-time. Same strategies with same settings as they backtested using this web site.

This application is a simple, yet powerful tool to execute pairs trading strategies in real markets. It is not meant to have any backtesting or charting capabilities whatsoever.

The best idea is to keep PTL Trader running on a Virtual Private Server. The application will communicate with our website (using an encrypted channel) in order to retrieve portfolio of strategies to be traded live and execute the whole portfolio using the broker.

Currently, only Interactive Brokers broker is supported by the application, which is one of best brokers for pairs trading anyway thanks to pretty low commissions on stocks and ETFs.

PTL Trader is a free application, but it still requires a PTL account to load pair trading strategies. If you don't have a PTL account, sign up here.

Disclaimer: Backtested, simulated or hypothetical performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. There are numerous factors related to the stock market in general and to the implementation of any stock market timing program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results. The backtested results listed here do not take into consideration slippage, fees, taxes, or dividends and interest earned on cash positions. These factors would affect actual trading results. Simulated, backtested or hypothetical stock trading systems in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. Backtested performance does not represent actual performance and should not be interpreted as an indication of such performance. No representation is being made that you will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
