We offer a variety of trading automation in Futures, Options, and Forex, and continue to add new platforms regularly.

Each platform has a unique instrument, trading strategy and risk portfolio, and it is important to understand the differences to find out which program is most appropriate for your needs, your budget, your risk tolerance, and your financial status.

Please bear in mind these are software programs - at no point does Target Trading or its affiliates have possession of your trading account, take deposits of your account or the like. The software is added as a mechanism to your account, and you as the owner retain the ability to enter or exit trades manually, manage risk and/or contract size, turn on or off the software, or close the account.

Here is a brief summary of the different trading automation programs. For further explanation of the programs, continue scrolling down or schedule a Discovery Call with a member of our team!

FOREX Software

Our Forex trading software is only available in a PAM Pro format through our brokerage partnerships. Each program is vetted and tested to ensure consistency and reliability.

Q10 ALgo trading system

Q10 is an AI-based algorithmic indicator that weighs nine separate indicators at their optimum time to identify, enter and exit trades. For more details on how the Q8/10 program works, CLICK HERE.

Q10 does not set a specific Take Profit (TP) or Stop Loss (SL) in the program, as the strategy is based on identifying trends, in a method called Trend Following. Trend Following is a strategy that seeks to capture gains through the analysis of an asset whose price is moving strongly in a particular direction. In this context, trades can vary in duration, ranging from a period of seconds to a few hours, but it is designed to be back in a cash position by end of trading day.

***ONLY available for those eligible to trade Forex outside of the US***

Options Trading Automation

SPY A Options Strategy

A systematic, weekly options trade based on a daily trend.

SPY Call or Put options are purchased on Friday at 3:45pm EST

During the week, trades can be rolled up or closed depending on the read of the indicators.
Still retain manual control to roll your trade, contract number (leverage), or opening and closing any trades at the same time
Trades can and will be held throughout the week
Automated if through our partnership with Tradier brokerage
Recommended minimum account size of $5000, though you control the leverage.

Equity Portfolio Management

Create synthetic stocks using options with automated software. The program uses controlled leverage and multi-level risk management. The idea is to take the “meat” out of big moves, rather than catch the bottom or top of a move.
