Autotrader is an automated execution tool that enables traders to execute proprietary trading strategies, make markets and scalp using links from Excel or formulas entered directly in the Autotrader grid. It is one of several automated trading applications built into Trading Technologies' X_TRADER Pro. Autotrader features multiple levels of automation, a built-in formula engine with 20 formula columns, Microsoft Excel integration, configuration possibilities and strategy creation based on the market or theoretical values.

Traders can program formulas directly into the Autotrader grid. Formulas can include math and statistical functions, conditional statements and references to other cells. Additionally, Autotrader can be linked to an external Excel spreadsheet, allowing Excel to submit, requote and cancel orders via Autotrader. As a high performance, low-latency application, Autotrader can requote an order based on one or more underlying price movements with sub millisecond latency.
