Get started

Getting started with A+ Algos takes five steps. Choose an algo or a portfolio, open a broker account, receive your algo, install it with our video guide and start with a risk you can accept.

1. Which algo should you choose?

Choose the platform first. For ProRealTime you need an IG account, and for MetaTrader 5 any broker that offers MT5. The simplest start is A+ Algo Portfolio V2.0 for ProRealTime or for MetaTrader 5, or a single algo from all algos. You can also try one algo free for 14 days.

2. How do you open a trading account?

For ProRealTime, open a CFD account at IG and activate ProRealTime and automated trading. For MetaTrader 5, open an account with a broker or prop firm that offers MT5. The algos trade CFDs, so they cannot be used in an ISK.

3. When do you get your algo?

Within 24 hours of your purchase, or 48 hours at weekends, we send your algos to your email.

4. How do you install the algo?

Pick the video for your platform and follow it step by step. The videos are in Swedish. There is also a written guide for ProRealTime.

5. What happens after you start?

The algo trades by its rules, also through losing periods. Our own live account fell −23.5 % from a peak between February and April 2024. Start with a risk per trade you can accept, check your account regularly and follow our results every month on the live results page. Key figures are on A+ Algos in numbers.

Trading CFDs involves high risk and you can lose money. Past results, live or backtested, do not predict future returns.

Questions before you start

How risky is algo trading?

All trading carries risk and CFD trading is high risk. You can lose part or all of the capital you put in. Our own live account has had a largest drop from its peak of −23.5% and a worst month of −13.9%. Give any algo at least six months before you judge it.

Are the results real?

The live results come from our own ProRealTime account and have been published every month since December 2023, after trading costs. Backtests are shown separately on each algo and are always marked as simulated.

Can I try before I buy?

Yes. Every algo comes with a 14-day free trial on a demo account. Email us which algo you want to test and we send it to you.

How much capital do I need?

It depends on the algo and the risk you choose. With IG you can start from about €600, but with a small account each losing trade becomes a large share of it. Every single algo page has a capital check that shows your risk per trade.

Does my computer need to be on?

Not with ProRealTime. The algo runs on the broker's servers and you can follow it in the IG app. Expert advisors for MetaTrader 5 need MetaTrader running, so most people use a VPS.

Do I get updates?

Yes. We review every algo continuously and you get new versions for free during your license period.

Why is the shortest license 6 months?

Because an algo has to be judged over many market conditions. A few weeks can look great or awful by chance.

Why do you sell algos you use yourselves?

The algos trade liquid index, gold and currency markets where our customers do not compete with each other. Selling them gives us a second income and you get algos we trust with our own money.

Can I cancel my purchase?

The algos are digital content delivered by email. When delivery starts at your request the right of withdrawal does not apply, according to Chapter 2, Section 11 of the Swedish Distance Contracts Act (2005:59). That is why we offer the free trial first.
