Figaro

Figaro is FX Blue's unique trading and market-data app, available on the web and in the Apple and Google stores.

Figaro is the trading platform for FX Blue's free trading challenges and demo accounts. It is also increasingly widely used on a white-label basis by brokers. All the market data tools here on the FX Blue site are components from Figaro, and all those tools - and more - are available within the Figaro platform, both web and mobile, as well as on the site.

What makes Figaro different?

There are 4 things which make Figaro different to your current trading platform:

Huge range of tools to choose from - over 40 widgets including trading tools, market data, calculators, and many more
Completely configurable - rearrange and redesign the platform, building your own preferred trading app
Powerful scripting - automate common actions, or build your own new content for the platform
Download and share content with other people

Market data

Figaro provides a wealth of market data tools, and you can use the platform's configurability to build your own preferred view from the many widgets which Figaro makes available:

Fully-featured charts with 100+ indicators, 50+ drawing tools, 15 chart styles, and configurable time zones
"Mini" charts for monitoring several markets at once
Currency strength and heat map
Trader sentiment
Technical analysis and buy/sell score
Market scanner and future-events scanner
Correlation matrix
Quote board
Tick charts
Market depth and order book (if provided by your broker)

Trading

Figaro provides unrivalled control over your trading activity:

One-click and keyboard trading
Trading from charts
Order batches and grids
Risk-based trade sizing
Powerful order templates, including defaults for all trading or for individual markets
Bulk trading actions - for example, close all positions more than 20 pips in profit
Optional safeguards such as maximum risk settings, or a block on trading without a stop-loss

You can also use the platform's powerful scripting to automate your trading - auto-generate a script for an order which you place regularly, and turn that into a custom one-click icon in the software's banner.

Share content

You can use Figaro's Data Transfer widget to copy settings between your devices, or to share content with other people.

For example, you can download a chart, send it by WhatsApp or Telegram (or email, or post it on a web forum), and other people can then upload that exact view into their own copy of Figaro.

Scripting

Figaro has comprehensive scripting - even on mobile!

The platform can write scripts for you for common actions, such as placing trades or opening widgets. You can then turn these scripts into icons in the software's banner, giving you instant access to important tasks.

Software developers can go far further and write new content for the Figaro platform - chart indicators, trading algos, or whole new widgets of the software.

The web app can integrate with Microsoft Excel via a downloadable bridge, and this bridge also provides http and websocket interfaces into the web platform. You can write code in the external environment/language of your choice, such as Python or C#, and communicate with the Figaro platform to read account and price data or place trades.

It's also possible to send messages into Figaro from outside the platform, including the ability to create push notifications in the iOS and Android apps. You can create mail from any environment which can make HTTP requests - for example, an EA in MT4/MT5. It's also possible to write scripts inside Figaro which receive such mail, analyse it, and carry out automated actions.

Connectivity

Figaro is in a test phase, and can only currently be used to trade demo accounts, or in data-only mode.

You can connect Figaro to the following demo trading environments:

OANDA
