Titan module
Trading stocks
by a fixed rule set
Titan is the stocks module of Lab of Trades. It combines complete, rule-based swing trading strategies with tools for entering and setting up stock trades quickly in the Trader Workstation.
The signals of our strategies are ready before the US open; positions typically run one to ten trading days. You keep full control – every order is released by you, with a few clicks.
Runs with your TWS · semi-automated execution · try it free, no credit card
What Titan is made of
Systems or tools – you choose.
SystemsThe rule set comes with it.
Equity Growth System
A fully rule-based stock system on the large US indices, tested in backtests across more than two decades (since 2000). The signals are set before the market opens. You keep full control and activate the trades in your TWS with a few clicks; they are then executed at the open. You do not have to sit at your desk for the opening – nothing happens without your decision.
Four sizes, staggered by account size · from $99 per month
More Titan systems are in the works. We announce them when they are ready.
ToolsThe trading idea comes from you.
Smart Entry Equity
Places entry and stop loss as one connected order. You define how much capital a trade may risk. The software works out the position size and puts the trade into your TWS. Efficient trade entry for your own systems.
Free every Monday in the platform Free Plan · $9 per month for all trading days
More stock tools will follow.
Both work together, but neither requires the other: you can use Smart Entry for your own trades without subscribing to the system – and the other way round.
Requirements
What you need for Titan
A broker account with the Trader Workstation
With US stock trading enabled – Interactive Brokers itself or any broker that allows working with the TWS.
The TWS running while the trades are updated
Without it the software cannot transmit any order.
The Lab of Trades app
For Windows, Mac or Linux – included in the subscription.
A willingness to hold positions overnight
Trades typically run one to ten days; that means you also carry opening gaps, for example after earnings.
Touch a mark
In short: broker account with TWS and US stock trading · TWS running during the update · Lab of Trades app · a willingness to hold positions overnight
Does Titan trade for me on its own?
No – deliberately not. The software determines the signals and prepares every order; it is only fired by your click. There is no execution without you.
Is this day trading?
No. The signal is ready before the open and the entry happens at the open – but the holding period is typically one to ten trading days. Positions are held overnight, which makes this swing trading. It also means you carry the overnight risk.
Does the system trade growth stocks?
No – the name does not describe an investment style. The system selects by rules from the members of the S&P 100, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100; whether a stock counts as growth or value plays no part in the rule set.
What separates the sizes S, M, L and XL?
The universe, the maximum number of positions held at once, the underlying trading strategies and the account range: S covers 20,000–50,000 USD with up to 3 simultaneous positions, M covers 50,000–100,000 USD with up to 8, L covers 100,000–250,000 USD with up to 13. Above that XL begins: the same 13 names, but larger positions – on request.
How does Titan differ from Argon?
By the underlying and the time horizon. Titan trades stocks and holds positions typically one to ten days. Argon trades options with terms from a single trading day up to several weeks. Both run in the same app on the same TWS.
Is this a signal service?
No. A signal service sends you recommendations that you carry out yourself. Titan is software with a fixed rule set: it knows neither your personal situation nor does it make recommendations – it applies rules and puts the result up for your release.
Can I try Titan first?
In the Free Plan, Smart Entry Equity is free every Monday – with no payment details. That lets you set up your own stock trades and get to know the app. The trading systems themselves are not part of the Free Plan.
Getting started
Two ways in – and the free one belongs to the platform
Titan is a module for the Lab of Trades software, not a subscription in itself. What you book is either a trading system or the tool. The software underneath – Lab of Trades – costs nothing. The Free Plan is part of the platform, not of the module.
Free
The platform and the tool
Download Lab of Trades, connect it to your Trader Workstation, use Smart Entry Equity every Monday – your own stock orders as a bracket, with the position size based on your account risk. No payment details.
Not included: the trading system.
By subscription
The Equity Growth System
From $99 a month, cancellable monthly, or as an annual plan at ten monthly prices. Signal before the open, entry at the open, release by click – key figures and backtest curves are on the system page.
You choose the size yourself – by the trading volume you want.
Both run in the same account. You can start with the Free Plan and add the system later – the app stays the same.
Important notice: trading stocks involves risk, including the loss of the capital employed. Past performance and backtest results are not a reliable indicator of future results. Lab of Trades is a technical tool and does not provide investment advice.
