Singapore IT Firm Developing Algo Trading System Requires Funding

The funding will be used as additional capital of the firm in preparation for the launch of our products by the end of the first quarter of 2013.

We are developing Algorithmic Trading System (Expert Advisor) for an online trading platform called Metatrader. It is rule-based system software which you can set in automatic mode to control trade entry and exits in the FX market.

The Current Trend, Demand and Opportunity

One of the most dynamic and lucrative businesses today is the currency market with an average daily transactions of $4 trillion a day. Thousands to millions of dollars are being made or lost all around the globe. Algorithmic trading is becoming a popular way of trading among individual and institutional traders. In 2004, only 2% of FX trading was algorithmic. In 2010 that number changed to 45%. This is an exciting era of opportunity for those who innovate towards algorithmic trading.

Company, Product and Services

We are a software development firm that will focus on delivering high quality MQL4 (MetaQuote Language 4) products and MQL programming services to aid individual traders trading the foreign exchange and Commodities market using the Metatrader 4 Platform. Our services include creation of Automated Trading System (Expert Advisor), custom-built Technical Indicators and scripts (plug in).

Target Market

Everyone who is trading the FX and Commodities market and using the Metatrader Trading Platfrom 4 will be benefited by this system.

Revenue Generation Model

The company source of income will be twofold:
Firstly, the company will develop the "expert advisor" and sell it online and off-line through contacts. The end product will be sold at a price of $300 - $700 depending on the type and profitability of the system.

Secondly, we will offer MQL programming services, so that if a trader has their own strategies but has no knowledge on MQL programming, we will offer our customized coding service at a price that will start from $400 and depend on the complexities of the strategies the client wishes to apply.

Project Justification

For each product (Expert Advisor) we will follow a thorough Development Life Cycle. The final stage is trading the product, i.e. going live, using real money and documenting the results for the next three months.

Progress on Project
