Self-hosted automation

Your rules. Your account. Your execution.

A self-hosted, multi-broker automation framework powered by ForceTrend.com market analytics. Run it on your own computer or VPS and decide how — and whether — it connects to a broker.

ForceTrend.com is a market analytics, financial-news analysis, market intelligence and API platform. The robot is an automation framework you operate yourself, not a copy-trading or managed-account service.

Market intelligence inputs

Analytics you can use in your own workflow

ForceTrend outputs are general market analytics and informational signals. Depending on the endpoint and data available, they may include:

Use them for visualizations, research, dashboards, alerts, your own software or your own strategy. Nothing here is a statement that a particular output is suitable for you.

LIVE

Any decision to configure a third-party broker account for live execution is made by you independently and takes place on your own system.

Broker support, API functionality, account eligibility and jurisdictional availability depend on the broker and your circumstances.

Source package

Before enabling LIVE

A separate confirmation belongs on your system

Before live execution is enabled, the user should actively review and accept each of the following statements:

1I understand that Live mode may send real orders to my own brokerage account using credentials stored on my own system.
2I understand that trading can result in financial loss.
3I have selected and reviewed my own strategy parameters and risk limits.
4I understand that ForceTrend does not operate my brokerage account or place orders from ForceTrend servers.
5I am responsible for confirming that my use of the broker API and this software is permitted in my jurisdiction and under my broker's terms.

Risk disclosure

Live trading can lead to substantial losses

Trading involves risk. Live trading can result in rapid and substantial financial losses, including the loss of the entire amount allocated to a strategy. Leverage and derivatives may increase losses.\n\nForceTrend does not control your brokerage account, hold client funds, store your broker credentials or place orders on your behalf.\n\nYou are responsible for your strategy settings, broker configuration, risk limits, order execution settings and compliance with the rules applicable to you.

No personalized advice

General analytics, not personalized advice

ForceTrend provides general market analytics and informational outputs. The service does not take into account your financial situation, investment objectives, knowledge, experience or risk tolerance, and does not provide personalized investment recommendations.

“Nothing on this page is intended to constitute a personal recommendation.”

Third-party and global availability

Check the broker, account and jurisdiction

eToro, Interactive Brokers, Alpaca and other broker names refer to third-party services. No partnership or endorsement is implied.

Broker availability, API functionality, paper/live support and eligibility depend on the broker, account type and jurisdiction. Users are responsible for complying with their broker's current API terms.

Availability of the software does not mean that every feature or broker service is legally available in every jurisdiction. Users must verify the rules that apply to them.

Legal documents

Review the documents before using the framework

These links provide the current legal and product-document structure. Final wording for the robot, API and broker perimeter should be reviewed and approved by a UK financial-services/perimeter lawyer.

Placeholder structure — final text pending legal review.

Build on your terms

Keep control of the full stack.

Start with market analytics, inspect the framework and choose your own environment, strategy and execution settings.
