Technology used on development of sgcTrader is based on:
- Speed and stability : sgcTrader uses a direct connection with Interactive Brokers socket, this way we get maximum speed and control over data (avoiding use of dll, activex controls... than don't assure reception of all data).
- Scalability : language programming combines differents languages for fast development and high scalability.
- Ease of Use : user can adapt sgcTrader to his needs, getting a better use of resources and avoiding unnecessary options.

Professional |
High Stability, high performance |
|
Activex |
Visual Basic |
Intermediate |
Medium Stability(ActiveX can loss events); medium performance. |

DDE |
Excel |
None |
Limited, low performance |
Like you can see, platforms tha use Activex or DDE technologies don't get all data or have low performance.
