Solutions

Cyborg brings automation to equity and derivative front-end trading platforms, without eliminating or replacing the individual trader. Cyborg is designed to be a real-time trading tool, bringing advanced trade management, increased execution speed and customizable pre-built algorithms to the trader. An intuitive user interface allows traders to design sophisticated trading strategies without having to learn a complex scripting or programming language.

Features List

Trade Management

Take trading to the next level with unparalleled Trade Management. Cyborg’s unique design allows the trader to create a single strategy template and re-use it on different products with varying trade size and orientation. A Cyborg strategy is highly customizable, some features include:

• Split a single order into many orders, each with an independent trading strategy.
• Create entry orders that add or remove liquidity based on specific market conditions.
• Use sophisticated trailing strategies on both profit orders and stop orders.
• Create smarter stops based on depth thresholds and volume conditions.
• Attach timing conditions that exit a trade after a specific amount of time.
• Replenish entry orders after a profit order fills.

With Cyborg, the trader always retains the ability to easily control a strategy. Cyborg will automatically adapt and configure itself to manually entered orders, so the trader can always adjust a strategy on the fly. For a look at the full scope of Cyborg’s strategy building visit our Trade Management page.

Signal Trading

Cyborg can be paired with one of the supported signal providers to create a fully automated trading system. Cyborg can execute a trading strategy each time an alert is received from the signal provider, allowing the trader to manage many positions at once. All trades are executed directly on the trading platform that Cyborg is connected to. Use Cyborg’s simulation environment to test strategies in real time and then simply flip the switch to live when the trading results are profitable. Visit the Signal Trading page for more detailed information, and a list of supported signal providers.

Customizable Pre-Built Algorithms

Cyborg allows the trader to employ institutional-quality, proprietary algorithms in any trading strategy. Quickly and easily customize Cyborg’s pre-build algorithms and launch them with regular order from the trading platform Cyborg is connected to. Cyborg’s Algorithms are able to execute trades that are nearly impossible to execute manually. See the Algorithms page for a more detailed description.

Spread/Pairs Trading

Create a custom spread market between two or more products. Use the Cyborg Fixed Order Execution (FOX) interface to watch the spread market, manage orders and execute trades. Trading couldn't be easier; simply enter orders with the mouse and Cyborg will “work” spread orders directly through the trading platform it is connected to. Once one part of a spread is filled, Cyborg will automatically hedge all of the other products in the spread, allowing you to minimize slippage and get the spread price desired. For detailed information on the Smart Spreader, including advanced options visit the Spread Trading page.

Simulation

Test strategies risk free using the Cyborg simulation environment, called Cymborg. Cymborg extracts market data from the trading platform it is connected to, but uses a proprietary fill engine to ensure realistic fills. Monitor all of the executions, orders and positions in real-time to ensure a strategy is working as expected. Use the Cyborg simulation environment with any other feature in Cyborg and then simply go live when a strategy is profitable. Cyborg’s entire functionality is available when in simulation mode. For more information, see the Simulation page.

Trading Groups

Traders can freely create or join a secure and private trading group. This allows traders to share strategy templates and collaborate with fellow traders anywhere in the world. Cyborg also provides many pre-built strategy templates that can be downloaded for free from the public trading groups. Risk managers can use Trading Groups to train new traders, and watch simulated risk from traders located anywhere in the world. For more information see the Trading Groups page.
