Only pay for Keyboard Trader when you expect it to help you

Transactional pricing: we know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking of the pricing offered by FCMs – a transactional model that charges you for every trade you place. We think there’s a fairer approach for our product, simply because it's an add on.

Keyboard Trader's transactional program charges you on a per trade basis, but only if our software is running. This means you can let the software sit unused and uncharged until you decide you need it.

Check out examples of our pricing and see how affordable it is to use Keyboard Trader with your trading strategy.
