Autochartist was founded in 2004 by three individuals, Ilan Azbel, Rob Horton and Kobus Steenekamp, and they have offices located in both Cyprus and South Africa.
Autochartist initially served only the US equities market, but it has expanded to serve the entire online financial assets trading industry; from stocks, futures and commodities, to forex, indices and cryptocurrencies.
The company now operates in more than 80 countries and generates more than 2 million charts, viewed and used by traders every month. It is also estimated that Autochartist sends an average of 400,000 potential trading opportunities every month across all the asset classes it tracks.
As a world leader in automated technical analysis, the Autochartist proprietary technology allows it to continuously scan the intraday markets. Its advanced recognition engine not only identifies the strongest potential trading opportunities around the clock but also helps to predict future price movements.
Autochartist’s proprietary technology is grounded on technical reviews which are based on psychological market behaviour. Its algorithms are programmed to accurately track the formation of tradable chart patterns and Fibonacci levels, as well as develop opportunities based on the Elliot Wave Theory.
Whether you are a new or experienced trader, Autochartist will no doubt help you enhance your trading career. Subscribing independently to the software services comes at a small monthly cost, but the service is free for all AvaTrade traders who own a live account. The best part is that the software is compatible with both MT4 and MT5 desktop platforms as well as the mobile platform.
