Code Base
and Freelance.

Some tools for forex and exchange market operations are free, some are commissioned — this trading mobile app supports both routes.

Free indicators from the Code Base, and custom applications ordered from professional programmers through the Freelance service.

Overview

Code Base and Freelance in Short.

Extending a trading mobile app for operations in the Forex and exchange markets does not have to mean buying something. Trade Master 9 offers two routes either side of the Market: the Code Base, with thousands of free indicators contributed by the community, and Freelance, where professional programmers build custom applications to your specification.

The Code Base is where most searches should start. Whatever you are trying to measure, somebody has probably attempted it, published the code, and had it picked apart by other traders. Adding an indicator from there works exactly like any other tool in the terminal. The trade-off is support: free code comes as-is, and if it behaves oddly in a market condition its author never met, that is your problem to diagnose.

Freelance sits at the opposite end. You describe what you want, agree it with a developer, and receive something built for your method rather than adapted to it. That is the right route when a tool will sit inside a live strategy and needs to behave predictably, or when the idea is specific enough that nothing published comes close.

Cost is not the only difference between the three routes. Free code teaches you something, because you can read it; a commissioned tool saves you time, because somebody else solves the problem. Both are worth having. In between them sits the Market, with ready-made applications and free trials. A sensible order of attack runs free first, trial second, commission last, and by the time you reach the third step you will know precisely what to ask for — which is exactly what makes a custom order worth its cost. The neighbouring page covers the Market itself, and the home page covers the app as a whole.

Code Base and Freelance.

Thousands of free indicators in the Code Base, and custom applications ordered through Freelance.

The Code Base

Traders are welcome to choose between thousands of free of charge indicators from the Code Base and add them to their platform.

Freelance

Custom indicators and applications can be ordered from professional programmers through the Freelance service, built to your specification.

Alongside the Market

Between the Code Base, the Market and Freelance, a tool can be found free, bought ready-made, or commissioned — whichever suits the job.

In depth

The Detail Behind It.

Three short notes on how this works day to day.

In practice

A sensible order of attack is free first, commissioned last. Search the Code Base for something close, try Market products with trial versions, and only order custom work when you know precisely what is missing.

Worth knowing

Free code carries no support, which is the trade-off. For a tool that will sit inside a live strategy, a Market product with a trial, or a Freelance order with a specification, is usually the better route.

Who it is for

This page suits traders extending the platform on a budget, and anyone with a specific tool in mind that does not exist yet.

Context

Where This Fits.

How marketplace sits inside the Trade Master 9 platform.

Where extra tools come from

Three routes extend the platform: the Code Base with thousands of free indicators, the Market with more than 2500 ready-made algorithmic applications — every one with a free trial, open 24/7 with protected transactions — and the Freelance service for custom work ordered from professional programmers.

Good to know

TM9 is a software development company and does not provide investment or brokerage services. The platform supplies the trading terminals, analysis tools and automation; your broker holds the funds, sets spreads and leverage, and executes the orders the platform sends. Trading carries a real risk of loss, and signals or robots are tools rather than financial advice.
