Many software providers today charge a monthly fee to use their software regardless of whether or not you actually complete a trade that month. Worse yet, some software providers actually charge a minimum usage fee. This creates an unnecessary and costly expense that traders need to bear.

AV8trade feels so strongly about the value of our software to traders that we never have, nor do we now, charge a “monthly” or “minimum” usage fee to use the AV8trade.

Trade from Charts
AV8trade offers you the functionality to trade directly from our built-in charting module. Use our cutting edge technology to easily monitor your order flow directly from the chart. Our charts provide full ordering capabilities including modifies, cancels, brackets and trailing stops.

Block Allocation

Block Allocation
Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) and professional trade managers can create allocation block accounts directly from the AV8trade from their existing list of accounts. The manager can then trade directly into the block account and these trades are automatically allocated to the correct accounts per the managers defined rules. This function eliminates the need to communicate with the back office and ensures accuracy allowing the manager to focus on trading not reconciling out trades.

Allocation Block RulesThe Allocation rules allow Trader Managers to allocate fills in the event of a split fill. The following rules are available:

• LowAcctLowPrice will allocate the lowest price of the partial fill to the lowest account number (based on account order in the block)
• LowAcctHighPrice will allocate the highest price of a partial fill to the lowest account number (based on account order in the block)
• APS (Average Price System) will allocate an average fill price to all accounts. If the average fill price is between traded prices, the accounts are allocated a fill one tick worse and credited residual in the form of cash on the account statement. APS is not available when giveup accounts are included in an Allocation Block.

Detailed Trade Reports

Communicate with your Broker via Instant Messenger
AV8trade provide each trader with a detailed reporting of their activity through a reporting suite that is fully integrated into the AV8trade.

Reports available:

Any of the reports can be viewed online, generated in PDF format or exported to Excel

Initial/Maintenance Margin
Margin in the Positions window allow traders the ability to view their necessary margin in relation to their open positions. The following Margin Types have been added to the position window as column choices:

• Initial Margin Requirement – The funds required in a commodity account when a position either long (bought) or sold (short) is established.

Sub Accounts
Are you trading multiple systems?
Do you need separate account or tracking?AV8trade provides the ability for Master and Sub Accounts either separate or Co Managed with the master account to leverage funds based on our traders requirements.
Sub accounts can be traded from the same login as the master account or separate logins can be created.

Pit and Electronic markets

In addition to the direct access we enable to the major electronic markets, we also provide access to most major traditional commodity markets. Many brokerages simply don’t have the infrastructure or the technology to allow you to trade the traditional open-outcry futures markets, even though many important commodity futures continue to trade in the pits.

AV8trade manages this complex routing to supply you with the best executions. Most of our pit orders are routed directly to electronic devices like handhelds and touch screens used by floor brokers in the trading pits. These devices help ensure the timeliest execution of your order. The broker keys your fill into the device, and you’ll see it on your AV8trade screen just moments later.

Institutional Clients, if you require special needs, AV8 can route orders by trader, by commodity or by both to a specific broker.

Inter-Product Spreads
AV8trade has added support for the following Spreads:

• Calendar Spreads
• Commodity Spreads
• Currency Spreads
• Index Spreads
• Inter Product Spreads
• Rate Spreads

The buyer of an Inter-product Spread buys the first and sells the second component but the components refer to different underlying contracts, usually with the same expiration month. Inter-product Spreads are treated as separate products. If an Inter-product spread is executed there will be 2 separate positions for two different products located in the Positions window.

All Orders Held Server Side *

One of the keys to our speed and reliability is the fact that all of the data critical to trading success is kept on our server rather than on your PC. This protects you from the unpredictable nature of connectivity from your PC to the server and eliminates storage requirements on your PC. In the event that a connection from your PC to the server is lost, any working orders will continue to work on the server.

Volume Histogram

The AV8trade now supports a volume histogram on the DOM and Charts. The histogram graphically offers the ability to help determine price levels of both support and resistance.

• Can be easily enabled/disabled by clicking a button in the DOM toolbar
• Can be fully customized to meet your unique requirements and style

COM Interface

AV8trade now offers the ability to leverage the full functionality of our API and technology through the use of standard COM technologies such as C++. Now programmers wishing to write to the API are no longer constrained to using only .NET technologies to leverage the speed, functionality and reliability AV8 offers.
