Unified with SharpTrader: Connect to Multiple Broker Servers with Ease
While most standard trading terminals and web platforms restrict you to a single broker server connection, SharpTrader breaks the mold. We’ve pioneered the EASYFIX system – a streamlined version of the FIX protocol – allowing for seamless connections to bridges compatible with various exchanges and brokers. These bridges, specialized software interfaces, facilitate connections to cryptocurrency and financial exchanges or broker servers.
By housing connectors to exchanges or brokers in distinct bridge infrastructures, SharpTrader adopts a wise strategy with multiple benefits. Let’s delve into why it’s advantageous to have dedicated bridge systems for different exchanges or brokers, rather than integrating them directly into the primary arbitrage and trading strategy software.

SharpTrader Lite built-in (by default) Arbitrage Strategies
Latency Arbitrage Strategy
In-built Latency Arbitrage Strategy - This high-frequency trading approach exploits the latency discrepancy between slower and quicker brokers. It works by trading on slower brokers utilizing data updates (quote updates) from quicker brokers. The software identifies arbitrage opportunities (price differences between slow and quick brokers) and places orders on the slower broker, predicting a price shift in line with the quicker broker. For instance, if the EURUSD price on a slow broker is 1.34567 and 1.34540 on a quick broker, the software will sell EURUSD on the slow broker.

Lock CL2 Arbitrage Strategy
In-built LockCL2 Strategy – This strategy, like the “Lock” strategy, allows the software to secure profits without closing on the same account. The following action for the LockCL2 algorithm varies from the Lock Algorithm. When a buy arbitrage signal is received, the software will close the Sell order, open a “virtual” Sell order with applied Stop Loss, Trailing Stop, and take profit. It will reopen the real Sell order on the opposite account when the closing condition is met.In-built LockCL2 Strategy - This strategy, like the "Lock" strategy, allows the software to secure profits without closing on the same account.

F.A.Q.
SharpTrader Lite FAQ
- What is the difference between SharpTrader Pro and Lite?
SharpTrader Lite includes two built-in strategies by default: Latency (1-Leg), which works well in the crypto market, and LockCL2, which works well in the Forex market.
However, compared to SharPTrader Pro, the Lite version lacks the charting module, which allows users to build charts and apply indicators. It also does not include the full set of indicators, the coding module for creating custom strategies based on standard or custom indicators, or the manual trading module, which allows traders to analyze the market using indicators and place orders manually through the platform.
- Can I upgrade from Lite to Pro later?
Yes — at any time, for the price difference ($1395). Your settings and license carry over.
- What is the minimum capital to run SharpTrader Lite?
We recommend $1,000 minimum for crypto hedge arbitrage, $500 for forex lock arbitrage. Latency arbitrage on forex requires at least $100
- Does Lite include masking strategies like Phantom Drift?
No — Phantom Drift and Hybrid Masking are not included by default and can be purchased separately for $1,400.
- Which brokers work best with SharpTrader Lite?
It is very difficult to determine which broker is working well at any given time, so in the article, the strategy should first be tested with a small capital on a broker. After that, the capital can be gradually increased while still using small lot sizes.
There is also a list of recommended brokers for arbitrage trading.
- What platforms is SharpTrader Lite compatible with?
cTrader (native), FIX API (direct), EASYFIX-bridged for different retail Forex platforms (via bridge plugin), and JForex (via JBridge add-on, sold separately).
- Is there a demo/trial?
Yes, you can test the program completely free for 14 days, after which you can decide whether it suits you.
- How do I get support?
Standard email ticket support — typical response 1–2h.
