Chapter 1: Choosing the Right Broker
To begin, you need a reliable broker compatible with your trading strategies. Click on this link and sign up with this specific broker, which has a London server location (UTC +2 during daylight saving time), a one-tick pip step on prices, and leverage of 1:500. Add your credentials and verify your account. This broker ensures strategies built in Strategy Quant X perform correctly, setting a solid foundation for your automated trading journey. Once verified, you’re ready to move to the next step.
Update: April 2025
If you are using Strategy Quant consider IC Markets (www.icmarkets.com) as your broker because you can use the Broker Profile feature to match broker timezone, tick step, swap fees and spreads on your data as well as use their Demo Accounts for unlimited periods of time if you are actively trading (up to 20 day non activity period) which is pretty damn nice. I am using them because they accept Japan residents and fit nicely with Strategy Quant. – Dave
