<h2 id="agenatrader-connected-to-ibkr-bloomberg-stonex-xtb-fcm-cqg">AgenaTrader connected to IBKR, Bloomberg, StoneX, XTB, FCM, CQG</h2> <strong>AgenaTrader</strong> is a Bloomberg-certified integration partner that delivers trading and market-scanning tools to a worldwide client base. The firm's existing technology partnerships include Interactive Brokers, Bloomberg, StoneX, XTB, FXCM, CQG, and Rithmic as well as a connection-technology to MetaTrader 5. In the coming months, the list of connected banks, brokers, and technology firms will be expanded even further based on soon-to-be-announced competitive fee structures and product enhancements. The team at AgenaTrader, which has recently been nominated for the esteemed WealthTech100 list of 2023, is currently working on version 3 to set new standards in terms of both functionality and design. The platform will offer a mobile trading app and a webtrader and a simplified product offering. AgenaTrader, which plans to significantly reduce platform fees and introduce a free version, aims to become one of the most popular trading platforms worldwide. As to <strong>TradersYard</strong>, an emerging social network designed for traders and investors, the platform will announce major developments for the trading community later this year. Similarly to AgenaTrader, the goal is to reshape the industry and drive unprecedented growth, solidifying the group's position as a trailblazer in the financial technology sector. With the €3,5 million raised from Andomeda, AgenaTrader and TradersYard will expand their engineering, marketing, sales, and business development teams.&nbsp;The new hires will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the two Austrian fintechs.
