Platforms and Protocols

Arconomy connects to your broker through the trading platform's API. The platform you use determines the protocol through which Arconomy sends and manages orders. Here is a summary of each supported platform.

MetaTrader 4 (MT4)

MetaTrader 4 is the most widely used retail forex trading platform in the world. Arconomy connects to MT4 through the Manager API, enabling full order management, position monitoring, and real-time price streaming. MT4 is ideal for forex and CFD trading and is supported by all six of our integrated brokers.

MetaTrader 5 (MT5)

MetaTrader 5 is the successor to MT4, offering improved order execution, additional order types (including buy stop limit and sell stop limit), access to a broader range of asset classes, and enhanced backtesting capabilities within the platform itself. Arconomy connects to MT5 through its Manager API with the same reliability as MT4.

cTrader

cTrader is an advanced trading platform known for its clean interface, level-II market depth, and sophisticated order types. Arconomy connects to cTrader via the Open API protocol, which provides a modern, event-driven connection for real-time trade management. cTrader is available through FXPro, Pepperstone, and IC Markets.

API Connectivity

Regardless of which platform you use, Arconomy maintains a persistent connection to your broker account. This connection handles order placement, modification, and cancellation; real-time position and balance updates; trade confirmation and execution reporting; and connection health monitoring with automatic reconnection.

Instruments Available by Broker

Each broker offers a different range of tradeable instruments. The table below provides an overview of the instrument categories available through each integration. Specific symbol availability may vary depending on your broker account type and regulatory jurisdiction.

Platform Comparison

If you are unsure which platform to choose, the following comparison table highlights the key differences between MT4, MT5, and cTrader as they relate to automated trading through Arconomy.

Choosing the Right Broker

When selecting a broker for use with Arconomy, consider the following factors:

• Instruments: Make sure the broker offers the specific instruments your strategy targets. If you trade niche pairs or exotic indices, verify they are available on your chosen broker and account type.
• Spreads and commissions: For high-frequency strategies or strategies with small profit targets, transaction costs can significantly impact performance. Compare the raw spread and commission structure across brokers.
• Execution speed: Low-latency execution matters for strategies that depend on precise entry timing. Brokers with data centres close to your target market tend to offer faster execution.
• Regulation: Choose a broker regulated by a reputable financial authority. All brokers listed above are regulated by at least one major regulatory body.
• Platform preference: If you have a preference for cTrader, ensure your broker supports it. Otherwise, MT4 and MT5 are available across all integrations.
• Minimum deposit: If you are testing with smaller capital, consider brokers with low or no minimum deposit requirements like Fusion Markets.
