Access 1,100+ professionally developed algorithmic trading systems through Discount Trading. All reported results include commissions and fees. Full client portal control - start, stop, or switch systems any time.
With over 21 years of experience, we believe we have found what system traders are looking for - an easy and convenient way to scan, research, and implement a trading system that meets each trader's criteria.
All of our offered trading systems have commissions and fees factored into every trade reported. This is a critical metric that sets our offered systems apart from most trading systems on the internet. Whether it's a back-tested trade, tracked trade, or a real trade in a client's account, the results you see are a more accurate representation of actual system performance.
Many trading systems on the internet do not factor in trading commissions and fees - which can have a significant impact on real-world trading results. At Discount Trading, every trade in every system's history already has fees calculated and deducted, just like in a real trading account.

With our innovative client portal technology, you are in complete control of your trading system. Traders can evaluate hundreds of different systems to find the right fit for their specific needs - no phone calls, no paperwork.
Once your trading system account is established, the customizable performance table lists and sorts systems across profit and loss, required capital, ranking, and dozens of additional metrics. You can browse all systems, view Top 10 tables, and manage your currently active systems. Use quick filters to find top performers, or build your own advanced filter logic across dozens of criteria.
Want to switch systems? You can add or change systems at any time directly from the portal. Want to take a profit on a particular trade? You can do that too. Complete 24/7 control - start, stop, or change systems whenever you want.

View all activity in your account in real time - including fills, orders, active systems, and performance history. The portal gives you a live window into exactly how your systems are performing at any moment.
Computers with access to the trading signals automatically execute your trades, ensuring orders are placed precisely according to the system's rules - eliminating delays, hesitation, and emotional interference.

Once an account is open and a subscription is in place, activating a system is straightforward. Clients license the rights to system signals by paying a monthly license fee. You select how many units of the system you want to trade - typically 1 unit = 1 contract per signal.
The cost of the system is deducted from your account at the beginning of each month and is prorated during the first month. You can choose different activation options depending on whether the system is currently in a trade and where the market is relative to its latest entry price. All activations require a double-check confirmation before proceeding.
You have complete 24/7 control - with the ability to start, stop, or change systems at any time.
At the heart of the client portal is risk management. Accounts must maintain at least the Required Minimum balance to keep a system active. Account balances are synced daily and updated in real time based on each system's profit and losses.
Our smart algorithms will automatically deactivate a trading system if your balance drops below the required minimum, and will notify you via email immediately. This automated risk control provides a safety net that protects against runaway losses in any single system.
Emotional decision making is often a trader's worst enemy. System trading removes this entirely - eliminating gut feelings, second-guessing, and the fear and greed that paralyze many traders. In fact, many top-performing CTAs rigidly follow proprietary trading systems.
A good trading system does not give you choices - it automates exactly what, when, where, and how to buy and when to sell. Each order is governed by a predetermined set of rules that does not deviate based on anything other than market action.
Every back-tested and forward-tracked result in our database has commissions and fees already deducted - just like a real account. This is a meaningful difference from most systems you'll find online, and gives you a more realistic view of expected performance.
Diversifying across more than one system can help balance risk. Any single system may be subject to the risk of an individual market or sector. Trading multiple systems across different markets or sectors may potentially reduce market-specific and correlated risk.
Using the client portal eliminates most of the work associated with trading a system. Computers with access to the trading signals handle all order execution automatically - no need to watch screens or manually enter trades.
Browse a massive database of professionally developed algorithmic systems across equities, energies, metals, grains, currencies, and interest rates. Filter by market, performance, required capital, and dozens of other criteria to find the right fit.
NOTICE: HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.
ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
