The platform

Professional market analysis, without the clutter.

Chart, watchlist, order ticket, positions, journal and an advisory AI analyst in one window. Aquila runs on your machine and talks to your broker through the official cTrader Open API.

cTrader Open API, live and demo accounts Available
57 indicators and 40 drawing tools Available
Multi-chart layouts, up to 16 synced charts Available
Local-first: data on your machine, keys in your OS keychain Available

Charting

Step inside the chart.

A chart that stays calm at any density. Candles, tick volume, sessions and VWAP read at a glance, so the price action does the talking and the interface stays out of the way.

1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D

Market structure

See where the market was most active.

Volume Profile stacks tick activity at every price, for the visible range or day by day. The point of control and the value area turn a line of candles into levels you can plan around, with Market Profile (TPO) one click away.

VAH: 2,345.25
POC: 2,339.63
VAL: 2,337.75

Illustration: for this page the Volume Profile is lifted into 3D. In Aquila it draws on the chart, from tick volume. Demonstration data.

Execution

From market context to a considered decision.

Analysis Value-area low lines up with session VWAP.
Decision A buy limit rests at the level, sized from your risk per trade.
Risk check The limits you set on size, risk per trade and daily loss are checked before anything is sent.
Execution The order goes to your broker through cTrader. Here it is only drawn.

Demonstration only. This page cannot connect to an account or place an order.

Workspaces

Save named layouts, split the chart into as many as 16 synced cells, and move between the Trade and Lab workspaces. The same panels, arranged for the job in front of you.

Backtest

Example layouts built from Aquila’s panels. Demonstration data.

Automation

Every order takes the same path.

Behind the panels, Aquila is a set of engines on a Rust core. Market data flows through indicators into strategy logic, and every new order, whether you placed it or a strategy or plugin proposed it, passes the same risk checks before it reaches your broker.

Market data
Available

Streaming quotes and history from your cTrader account.
Indicators
Available

57 built in, plus your own in TypeScript or as sandboxed WASM plugins.
Strategy logic
Available

Built-in or your own TypeScript strategies, on one instrument or several, backtested on ticks or bars with spread, commission and swap, walked forward and stress-tested with Monte Carlo runs.
Risk controls
Available

The limits you set on order size, open positions, risk per trade and daily loss (open losses included) are enforced in the core, and the ticket tells you why an order would be refused before you send it. A Stop control beside your positions halts a running strategy.
Execution
Available

Market, limit, stop and stop-limit orders with stop loss, take profit, time in force and a slippage limit, sent through the cTrader Open API. Trailing stops use cTrader’s, or Aquila’s own with an activation price and step.

Strategies run on your machine, under the same risk limits as your own orders. You test one in the Lab, then hand it to the Trade workspace to run it live.

AI and research

Intelligence that explains. It doesn’t trade.

The AI Analyst reads what you can see (account, symbols, bars, indicators, journal) and gives context back: structure explanations, trade and behaviour reviews, strategy ideas. It has no order tools, so nothing it says becomes an order unless you place it.

AI Analyst advisory · read-only

Advisory and read-only. Connect a local model (LM Studio, Ollama) or a cloud provider you choose (Anthropic, or any OpenAI-compatible API).
Studio copilot
Available

Generates, explains and debugs TypeScript indicators and strategies in the Lab.
ML research
Available

Build features and labels, export datasets, and run ONNX models you trained elsewhere: in shadow mode against live data, or behind a strategy you test in the Lab.
RL and text features
In development

Reinforcement-learning policies and features from central-bank statements, as research tools.

No model on this page predicts prices. The research tools are built to test ideas honestly, with walk-forward and overfitting checks.

Technology

Built differently, from the terminal up.

A native desktop application with a Rust core. Seven engines each do one job and share that core; the interface is a thin layer on top, and your data stays on the machine unless you choose to send it.

Interface: SvelteKit interface in a Tauri desktop shell
Engines: Market · Chart · Trading · Strategy · AI · Alert · Shadow
Core: Rust and Tokio, with fixed-point money maths
Risk: The limits you set, enforced beneath every order path
Storage: Local SQLite for journal and market history; layouts and settings in local files; credentials in the OS keychain
Connectivity: cTrader Open API

Connectivity

Your broker. Your account. Your machine.

Aquila is not a broker and doesn’t want to be. You keep your cTrader account; Aquila is the terminal you trade it from.

Connect your cTrader ID

Sign in on cTrader’s own authorisation page and choose which accounts Aquila can see. With Remember me on, your tokens are kept in your OS keychain; with it off, they are never written to disk.
Trade from Aquila

Prices, charts and orders pass directly between your desktop and cTrader. Nothing is routed through us. Keep several accounts and switch between them without restarting.
Revoke any time

Access lives in your cTrader ID settings, not ours. Withdraw it whenever you like.

We never see your cTrader password.
We never hold your funds.
Nothing trades unless you place the order or start the strategy.
Your journal, layouts and history stay on your machine.

Drawing tools

Available

40 tools in 11 groups: lines, shapes, annotations, Fibonacci, pitchforks, Gann, statistics, Elliott waves, patterns, measure and position.

Structure overlays

Available

Fair value gaps, order and rejection blocks, liquidity sweeps, premium and discount, market structure, swing levels, reversal and trendline patterns, pivots, sessions and profiles: 13 overlays in all.

Depth of market

Available

An indicative depth ladder in the order ticket, with book and fill views. Click a level to set a limit price; the order still goes through the ticket and your risk checks. cTrader only.

Alerts

Available

Price and indicator-crossing alerts with system notifications. They notify; they never trade.

FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

What does Aquila Trader cost?

Nothing during the private beta — no card, no account. Pricing will be announced before public launch, and people on the beta list hear it first.

Which operating systems does it run on?

Aquila is a native desktop application, not a browser tab. The first builds are for Windows. macOS is planned, and Linux is not supported yet.

Which brokers can I trade with?

Brokers that offer cTrader. Aquila connects through the official cTrader Open API with your cTrader ID, for live and demo accounts. Market-data connections for DXtrade and TradeLocker are in development, and MT5 is planned.

Does the AI place trades for me?

No. The AI Analyst is advisory: it explains market structure, reviews completed trades and flags behavioural patterns. It can read your account, charts and journal, but it has no way to place an order. Every order comes from you, or from a strategy you chose to run, and passes the same risk checks. It works with a local model, such as LM Studio or Ollama, or a cloud provider you choose.

Is Aquila a broker? Who holds my money?

Aquila is trading software, not a broker. Your funds stay with your broker and your orders go to your broker. Access is granted through cTrader's own sign-in and can be revoked in your cTrader ID settings at any time — we never see your password.

Where does my trading data live?

On your machine. Your journal and market history are stored in a local database, and your broker credentials sit in your operating system's keychain. Open positions and orders are read live from your broker rather than copied. Your trading data is never routed through or stored on Aquila's servers. If you choose a cloud AI provider, your questions go to that provider, with the account, chart or journal context needed to answer them and account numbers removed.

When does the beta ship?

Aquila is in private development. Join the waitlist and we'll send you the first desktop build the moment it's ready. The status tags on this page show what is available in the current build and what is still in development; we don't promise dates.
