Catalogue

Software and apps

Charting, research libraries, add-ons, copiers, journals, calendars, mobile apps, hosting and AI connectors used around FX trading. Trading platforms themselves stay in the platforms directory.

Clear

Open source is used only for a licence approved by the Open Source Initiative. Source-available means the source is public under another licence. Where an app plugs into a platform in the directory, the detail page links across.

The glossary defines FIX, MCP, backtesting and a trading VPS.
