ADL (Algo Design Lab) Overview

ADL (Algo Design Lab) is a TT platform that introduces traders to an interactive way of creating their own trading algorithms and automated strategies. ADL allows traders to design, test and deploy trading algorithms without having to write a single line of code. With an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, traders can use building blocks to construct circuit-like designs in their browsers At the same time, ADL grants granular flexibility in design instead of offering pre-made strategies.

This matter should be viewed as a solicitation to trade. Trading futures and options involve substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The risk of loss in trading commodity interests can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. The placement of contingent orders by you or broker, or trading advisor, such as a “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” order, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in commodity interest trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. ITG Capital Management, LLC (d.b.a. ITG Futures) is not affiliated with nor does it endorse any trading system, methodologies, newsletter or other similar services. We urge you to conduct your own due diligence.
