Strategy Runner Launches a New Suite of Trading Tournaments

Strategy Runner now offers hosted, customizable, trading competitions to its partner brokers and the active trading community.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 29, 2009

Strategy Runner Ltd, the pioneer and leader in advanced trading solutions for active, professional traders, announces the launch of its trading competition suite.

"Strategy Runner is pleased to launch our trading competitions. These competitions enable excellent traders to distinguish themselves on Strategy Runner's best-in-class technology and, most importantly, fun." said Yakov Becker, CEO of Strategy Runner. "With our new suite of customizable trading competitions, brokers can bring the excitement of trading to their clientele in an exciting, safe, yet potentially lucrative demo environment." He continues "traders experience live trading excitement on the premier trading platform for active traders. Traders use live data feeds, real contracts, with real money management constraints. Moreover, we inject more fun with real time posting of results on a tournament website, chat pages for traders to share and knock each other and, most exciting, valuable prizes!"

Strategy Runner is the first to bring this powerful and enjoyable trading opportunity to traders and brokers. This is another in a string Strategy Runner's compelling innovations for traders. In 2001, Strategy Runner launched its trading platform with its unique server-based architecture that has earned it world-wide accolades for its functionality, speed and intuitive design. Drawn by the low latency of this technology design, execution quality, professional traders have continued to 'trade up' to Strategy Runner.

Strategy Runner continues to widen the gap vs. other trading solutions, setting the standard with its features and functionality. The Strategy Runner trading platform provides professional, customizable charting package, an all-inclusive analytics package complete with 100s of technical indicators, leading money management features including trade-outs & scale outs. The trading competition is another forum for new traders to experience the power of Strategy Runner's trading platform. To start is simple: a simple download and login, and even the most novice of traders are competing in no time. http://www. strategyxchange. com/Tournaments/T1/index. htm (http://www. strategyxchange. com/Tournaments/T1/index. htm)

"Our server-based architecture enables us to deliver trading solutions that competitors can't. We are able to execute, monitor and report trades instantaneously with our server-based architecture. This infrastructure gives traders the advantage as we remove trade execution's 'last leg latency' and client side technical 'hiccup's'" Said Jake Levant, Strategy Runner's Vice President.

Now, our same infrastructure allows us to bring another innovation to active traders. "Strategy Runner's trading tournament suite brings the excitement of trading to the active trading community. It is an opportunity for traders to test-drive the advanced trading platform, have fun and potentially, win prizes".

Since its launch last week, Strategy Runner has fielded dozens of requests from partners to host trading competitions. Competitions are tailored to the specific partner needs including: competition timeline, language, contracts traded, individual vs. team competitions, strategy vs. discretionary trading and more. Strategy Runner provides the technological tournament infrastructure while partner educational or brokerage firms co-host the trading competitions.
