Every capability of the CandleKey platform in one place — trading, money, clients, partners and operations. Read it once and you will know what candlekey.trade does, and what each part handles for the business.
The short version of the platform. Tap any module to see what it covers, then jump to the full detail further down.Each module is covered in full in the pages that follow.
Market, limit and stop orders with stop-loss and take-profit, priced with the firm's own spread and confirmed with a margin preview.
Each is a finished surface, connected to the same account, the same balances and the same records.
Portfolio, markets, trade ticket, funding, statements, documents, security — full terminal in a browser.
Desktop & tabletWatchlists, one-tap orders, positions and funding — the same account, in your pocket.
Google PlayFace ID unlock, live prices, instant alerts and full account management.
App StoreLinks, funnel, downline, client list, commission statements and payout history — scoped to their own network.
For IBsClient 360, verification queue, payments, approvals, risk desk, reconciliation and payouts.
Staff onlyFifteen pages, live prices, calculators, guides and legal — the shopfront that feeds sign-ups.
PublicScoped partner keys and signed events, so your systems and partners talk to the platform directly.
IntegrationsEverything a client needs to price, place and manage a trade — with the risk rules that keep it inside the contract.
Quotes refresh continuously. When a feed is unavailable the platform shows a dash rather than an invented price.
Deposits, withdrawals and the accounting underneath them. This is the part that decides whether a client trusts you with a second deposit.
Nothing is credited without a reference. Duplicate references are refused automatically, and the entry posts to the ledger the moment it is approved.
From first visit to verified client — quickly for the good ones, carefully for the rest.
Alerts are per category and per channel, so a client is never spammed and never surprised. Every message is also kept in an in-app inbox.
A partner programme that runs on the same ledger as trading — so what you owe is never an estimate.
Every level is posted as an accrual the moment the deal closes. Nothing is calculated later in a spreadsheet.
The desk your team works from, and the numbers that tell you whether the business is working.
Each item carries who requested it, who approved it and the reason. The same actions appear in the audit trail.
Not features clients see — the things that let the business run safely: encryption, audit, recovery, monitoring and access control.
Personal data encrypted at field level, documents in private storage, secrets managed and rotated.
Every privileged action recorded with actor, time and reason — history cannot be quietly edited.
Encrypted backups, point-in-time recovery and restore drills, so recovery is proven rather than assumed.
Web application firewall, bot protection and per-endpoint limits on money and sign-in paths.
Metrics, traces and health checks across execution, money and delivery, with alerting on the paths that matter.
Automated checks and dependency scanning before anything reaches production, with a rollback path.
Clients arrive with expectations shaped by other platforms. Here is how CandleKey lines up against the four they mention most.
