While a basic understanding of the financial markets is always helpful in making decisions, it isn’t necessary for you to know anything at all about trading to use any algorithm in the Horizon Algo Suite. However, we are working to develop an extensive database of training materials for beginner, intermediate and even pro traders. Our team walks you through the setup A-Z.

Your Horizon algorithm(s) will come with all the training materials you will need to understand how to connect your bot to your trading account, what settings may be adjusted and what each adjustment will do. The entire setup process and each setting are explained in detail in our Installation and Setup Manual as well as pre-recorded videos.

This in addition to our Weekly Zoom sessions will provide you with all the knowledge necessary to set up your Horizon algorithm(s).

Your broker name and account number are necessary to create a unique license key for your Horizon Trading System. Your key is directly tagged to your brokerage account and cannot be used on any other account. FOREX account numbers are not like bank account numbers. Your FOREX brokerage account number and investor password allow “read only” access to your account. They cannot be used to deposit, withdraw, or take trades on your account.

While you can only use your Horizon Trading System on one brokerage account at a time, you can switch brokers at any time. If you will be switching brokers, simply email support@horizonalgo.com Subject Line: Broker Change and let us know. We’ll make the switch for you in the back end and have you up and running on your new broker right away.

Our system will periodically ping your brokerage account to check the account balance. This is to ensure your account remains within your licensed account size threshold. But again, we have no access to take trades, deposit or withdraw. Our system will have “read only” access to your account simply to ping it periodically, ensuring your license key remains active.

All payments can be completed using Crypto (USDC, ETC, BTC), credit card or bank wire.

Our algorithms are designed for different risk profiles and account sizes. Be sure to select an algorithm and risk profile that is best for your account size, goals and personal risk profile. $10,000 USD is the absolute minimum we suggest for Prime & $2,500 for Pulse/Edge/Apex (using conservative settings).

No. Accounts of this size are difficult to manage because lot sizes can only be reduced so far. So a $1,000 account will always run a higher risk of margining out because the account may be forced to utilize most or all of its capital just to open a single trade position, whereas a $10,000 account will only be using a portion of its available equity in any trade.

Horizon Algorithms are not broker specific. We are happy to provide a list of brokers we’ve seen success on, but you are free to utilize any broker of your choosing. We do recommend you do your research. Look for brokers who are purely “A-Book,” are regulated in a reputable jurisdiction, and have reasonable fees. Avoid brokers that are heavy on affiliate commissions (these are like taxes on your home… they never go away no matter what!), unregulated brokers, and brokers who are known to B-Book their trades. We also suggest you do a little research before selecting a broker. When in doubt, start small. You can always change brokers and increase your account size later.

Horizon Algorithms trade on both MT4 and MT5.

Prime - MT4/MT5

Edge - MT4/MT5

Pulse - MT4 (MT5 Coming Soon)

Horizon Algorithms currently only operate in the FOREX market, but our founders trade and invest in a range of markets and instruments. We are actively working on creating new softwares that trade in a variety of markets and financial instruments.

This isn’t something we can help you with here, but we are working on a range of educational materials to help you select the right broker.

If you’d like a short list of brokers we have seen success with, feel free to reach out. However, be aware that Horizon QuantTechnologies, Horizon Algo Suite, and our agents, affiliates, officers, and so on have no connection whatsoever to any brokerage, take no responsibility for, and cannot be held liable for, any losses which may arise due to the choice you make when selecting a broker.
