Strategy Runner offers the first server-based online trading platform that takes system trading to a new level of execution and security, and provides new possibilities for investors, traders, brokers, system vendors, commodity advisors, trading gurus and educational companies.

In traditional client-based solutions for strategy execution, orders and signals are originated and executed on client computer.

How a server-based solution works
	How it works
Orders are not executed on the clients computer. Instead, the Strategy Runner server at the broker's site originates and executes the trades generated by all strategies, in all their respective subscribers' individual accounts. Each individual subscriber can monitor and control the execution of their strategies through the Strategy Runner Pro console. The broker can monitor and manage all trader accounts via the Strategy Runner Manager tool.

Client-based Problem	Server-based Solution
Internet bandwidth, and/or unavailability causes delays in execution and confirmation, and even loss of orders	Direct line from server to exchange provides execution and confirmation of orders with no network delays, and no lost orders
Crash or overload of client's home computer may prevent generation of signals	Strategy Runner's Reliable server hardware, dedicated to the trading application, ensures all signals are generated on server
If the trader's computer is shut no signals are generated.	Servers run 24/7, therefore all signals are generated. The trader's console is for monitoring and control.

Dissemination of Orders and Signals

Strategy Security

In Strategy Runner clients can use a certain strategy only if they are permitted by the owner of the strategy to do so. If permission is given the it can only be set by broker/FCM.
