Technology to improve your trading

Fast order transmission

ProRealTime manages orders mainly server-side to ensure a fast execution and to reduce time to transmit information between your computer and our servers.

We also use private internet lines between ProRealTime, Interactive Brokers and the exchanges.

Smart routing

Most stocks can be traded on multiple exchanges. At a given time, the price for a stock will not necessarily be the same on all exchanges.

With smart routing, your orders are automatically sent to the exchange that offers the best price.

If the best bid/ask changes before your order is completely executed, it will be split and re-routed to another exchange if it offers a better price.

Low latency market datafeeds

A high quality datafeed is essential for decision making and fast order execution.

Therefore, ProRealTime has made major investments in datafeed infrastructures and provides you with a direct connectivity to the exchanges - Learn more

Multi-currency account

Your account can hold funds in several currencies simultaneously, allowing you to save money on conversion fees.

• Choose the base currency of your account between: Euros, US dollars, Swiss francs or British pounds.
• Make deposits and withdrawals on your account in any of these currencies.
• Gains made in other currencies will remain in the currency they were made instead of being forced converted in the base currency of your account. This allows you to save money by regrouping conversions from different transactions.

A wide range of markets

A responsive and experienced support team

An additional free PaperTrading platform

Once your account is open, you can access a second ProRealTime platform in PaperTrading mode (or "Demo mode"). To access it, click on "Start ProRealTime in PaperTrading mode" after you have logged in.

PaperTrading gives you permanent access to an environment in which you can experiment with new trading strategies and new financial instruments without risking your capital.
