Acuity Trading has introduced an automated chart pattern recognition module to its AnalysisIQ tool, entering a feature category that has historically been dominated by rival Autochartist. The new capability extends the vendor’s existing suite of trading intelligence products and is available immediately to broker clients.
The module scans more than 128 instruments across forex, equities, indices, commodities and crypto. It identifies recurring price formations over multiple timeframes using historical market data, and presents outcomes with indicative price levels and contextual market information. Brokers can embed the functionality within MT4, MT5, cTrader and proprietary trading platforms via APIs, web widgets or direct plugins.
The launch broadens an AnalysisIQ suite that already delivers AI-generated trade signals, news sentiment analysis, an economic calendar and analyst commentary. The new pattern-recognition coverage is narrower than Acuity Trading’s flagship TradeSignals product, which processes more than 2,000 assets using natural language processing of news headlines combined with technical analysis. TradeSignals, rolled out in early 2025 and embedded inside AnalysisIQ, remains the company’s primary signal engine.
Andrew Lane, founder of Acuity Trading, said chart patterns remain a widely used tool in technical analysis but can be time-consuming to identify consistently. He stated that the addition strengthens the breadth of intelligence on the Acuity platform while integrating into trading environments that brokers already use.
Automated chart pattern detection is one of the longest-established product categories in retail broker technology. Cyprus-based Autochartist has provided pattern recognition to brokers including Saxo Bank, OANDA, Swissquote, Pepperstone and IC Markets since 2004, and the feature has often been treated as a standard platform add-on rather than a key differentiator.
The competitive landscape intensified in February 2025, when trading technology provider oneZero acquired Autochartist for an undisclosed sum. The deal, partially financed by Golden Gate Capital’s November 2024 strategic investment in oneZero, brought Autochartist’s pattern recognition engine into oneZero’s execution and analytics infrastructure.
Acuity Trading has signed several broker agreements over the past 12 months that will frame adoption of its enhanced AnalysisIQ offering. Australian broker FP Markets integrated Acuity’s signal platform earlier this month under the FP Markets Intelligence brand, connecting AnalysisIQ to its MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 environments. Shortly afterwards, multi-asset broker Trade247 added the same bundle, deploying Acuity tools into platforms operating under United Arab Emirates and Mauritius licences.
In November 2025, OneRoyal implemented Acuity’s signals and Dynamic Email product. The same month, Traders' Hub integrated AnalysisIQ across its UAE and Seychelles operations, although the trade signals component was limited to the broker’s Seychelles entity pending local regulatory clearance. Zarvista Capital Markets, MYFX Markets, Hantec Markets and prop firm FunderPro also announced Acuity Trading integrations during 2025.
AnalysisIQ output is produced by Acuity Research Limited, which is authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, providing a framework for regulated brokers to manage compliance review when adopting third-party signals. The new Pattern Recognition module is offered through Acuity’s white-label intelligence platform across MT4, MT5, cTrader, web widgets, APIs and proprietary environments.
