Introduction

What EZPZ Trader does

A trading strategy decides when to buy or sell. EZPZ Trader does the rest: it receives the alert, works out the order for each of your accounts, and places it with your broker within a second.

You don't need to write code or keep a computer running. Alerts arrive in the cloud, and every order, fill and skipped trade is logged so you can check what happened and why.

How the pieces fit together

One strategy can feed many accounts, each with its own size and rules, from a single alert. For example, you could trade 100 shares on a live account and 10 on a paper account at the same moment.

Your first alert

The smallest alert has two fields:

{
    "ticker": "{{ticker}}",
    "action": "buy"
}

Everything else is optional. The Signal Message Reference lists every field you can send.

Where to go next

• Quick Start: your first paper trade in about ten minutes.
• How a Signal Becomes an Order: each step, and what can stop a trade.
• Signal Message Reference: every field, value and example.
• Why a Trade Was Skipped: every reason shown on a signal, and how to fix it.
