The charting system features real-time streaming quotes across all futures, options, and strategy markets available on T4. T4 charts are user-friendly and easily customizable to individual specifications. With charts saved alongside other T4 windows, users enjoy a unified platform for trading and charting. Users can view market depth, monitor working orders, and execute trades directly from the chart.
T4 Advanced Charts & Data
The advanced charting package by CTS is integrated into T4 Desktop, offering a range of enhanced features beyond the basic chart package. Alternative chart types, such as Renko, Point and Figure, and Heikin Ashi, provide unique perspectives on market trends. These chart types use real-time tick data to deliver precise visualizations of market movement. Traders can apply both existing and custom studies to these charts for a deeper level of analysis.
T4 Options Pro
T4 Options Pro is a comprehensive options trading platform designed for generating theoretical values, identifying and comparing trading opportunities, creating custom spreads, and calculating position risk across various scenarios. It supports single and multi-window environments, allowing users to organize their workspace and save multiple layouts with ease. Users have access to all CTS-supported exchanges.
CTS maintains its own exchange connectivity and operates the equipment necessary to support the CTS network across multiple data centers. This hosting structure enables CTS to provide a robust, fast, and reliable network that meets all trader requirements. Built on this stable foundation, the platform delivers a state-of-the-art front-end experience.
New T4 TradeSniper
T4 TradeSniper is a client-side application designed to create, chart, and trade custom spreads. Traders can select the desired legs and ratios, while CTS provides real-time depth of market quotes. T4 TradeSniper also enables charting of custom spreads, allowing users to add indicators and studies to identify trends and trading opportunities. Orders placed in T4 TradeSniper wait for favorable conditions before executing on the exchange, reducing the risk of order slippage compared to traditional cancel/replace auto-spreaders.

T4 API
T4 API streamlines development, reducing both time and effort.

T4 API supports Microsoft .NET, enabling applications to be written in advanced programming languages such as C++, C#, Visual Basic, and more, compatible with Visual Studio 2005 and later. It uses a single SSL connection for seamless passage through firewalls.
