TMGM Automated Trading Systems checklist

Whether automated trading is possible depends first on the platforms the broker offers and whether automation is permitted on your account type. Check TMGM's official site for the platforms available in your region, then confirm in writing whether expert advisors, algorithmic tools or API connections are allowed, and under which conditions. Some brokers restrict certain strategies, such as high-frequency approaches or latency arbitrage, in their terms of business. Read those terms yourself rather than relying on a support summary, and keep copies of any written answers.

Automated strategies are sensitive to execution details that discretionary traders may not notice. As general guidance: measure typical spreads at the times your system trades, check for minimum stop distances, confirm how pending orders are handled around news events, and understand the broker's policy on slippage and requotes. A strategy that back-tests well can fail if live conditions differ from the data it was built on. Run the system on a demo account first, then on a small live allocation, and compare fills against your expected results before scaling up.

Automation changes your cost profile because trade frequency is usually higher. Request the full fee schedule for the account type you plan to use and calculate costs at your system's realistic trade volume, including spreads, commissions and any swap charges on positions held overnight. Check whether inactivity rules, margin requirements or leverage limits affect your strategy. If you are evaluating third-party systems or signal providers, verify their claims independently; past performance figures are not a guarantee of future results.
