Bitcoin Autotrading Program


iQ Bitcoin 40 is our first autotrading program designed specifically for Bitcoin. It uses Micro Bitcoin futures (MBT) and a systematic, market-neutral approach designed to seek opportunities in both rising and falling markets. Rather than trying to predict Bitcoin’s next move, iQ Bitcoin 40 seeks to capitalize on recurring price behavior through a rules-based trading approach.
