Question 1

What is London Strategic Edge?

Accepted Answer

London Strategic Edge is a free, institutional-grade trading platform. We built it because retail traders deserve the same calibre of tools the City uses — live charting across 16,000+ instruments, machine learning forecasting, strategy backtesting, and fundamental analysis — without paying £20,000 a year for a Bloomberg Terminal.

Question 2

Is London Strategic Edge actually free?

Accepted Answer

Entirely. No paywall, no credit card, no "freemium" upsell. Every feature — live charts, ML signals, the backtester, stock screener, economic calendar — is free and always will be. We are self-funded and built this because we believe professional trading tools should not be behind a paywall.

Question 3

How does this compare to Bloomberg or TradingView?

Accepted Answer

Bloomberg charges roughly £20k per seat. TradingView locks indicators behind paid tiers. We offer live data, 20+ ML models, a full backtesting engine, fundamental analysis, and 13,000+ equities — all free. The trade-off is we are a smaller team, but the analytical depth is comparable and growing.

Question 4

What markets and instruments are covered?

Accepted Answer

The coverage is broad: 80+ FX pairs, 50+ cryptocurrencies, 13,000+ US equities, commodities including gold, silver and crude oil, plus global indices like the S&P 500, NASDAQ, FTSE 100, and DAX. All with real-time pricing and ML-driven analysis.
