Acuity Trading has added automated chart pattern recognition to its AnalysisIQ tool, pushing into a feature category long dominated by rival Autochartist.

The new module scans more than 128 instruments across forex, equities, indices, commodities and crypto. Brokers can embed it inside MT4, MT5, cTrader and proprietary platforms through APIs, widgets or direct plugins.

Acuity Enters a Category Autochartist Has Owned Since 2004

Acuity said the new module identifies recurring price formations across multiple timeframes using historical market data. It presents results with indicative price levels and contextual market information.

The addition extends an AnalysisIQ suite that already includes AI-generated trade signals, news sentiment analysis, an economic calendar and analyst commentary.

Andrew Lane, founder of Acuity Trading, said in a statement that "chart patterns remain a widely used component of technical analysis, but identifying them consistently can be time-consuming."

He added that the addition "strengthens the breadth of intelligence available through the Acuity platform while fitting naturally into the trading environments brokers already use."

The instrument coverage is narrower than the company's flagship signal product. Acuity's TradeSignals service, rolled out in early 2025 and embedded inside AnalysisIQ, processes more than 2,000 assets using natural language processing of news headlines combined with technical analysis.

Automated chart pattern detection is also one of the oldest established product categories in retail broker technology. Cyprus-based Autochartist has supplied the feature to brokers including Saxo Bank, OANDA, Swissquote, Pepperstone and IC Markets since 2004. The category has long been treated as a standard add-on rather than a differentiator.

oneZero's Autochartist Acquisition Reshaped the Competitive Map

The competitive picture sharpened in February 2025, when trading technology provider oneZero acquired Autochartist for an undisclosed sum.

The deal, financed in part by Golden Gate Capital's November 2024 strategic investment in oneZero, folded Autochartist's pattern recognition engine into oneZero's broader execution and analytics infrastructure.

Trading Central, the Paris-based analytics firm whose tools were integrated by US discount broker Firstrade into its Options Builder in November 2025, occupies a similar position in the market.

The technology providers themselves are positioning aggressively. Tools for Brokers in March 2026 launched a Broker Business Intelligence module inside its Trade Processor liquidity bridge, framing the move as part of a wider race to become the operating system for brokerages.

The same logic applies in analytics. Vendors that can offer broader functionality through one integration point have a structural advantage over single-feature providers.

A Year of Broker Deals Sets the Distribution Test

Acuity has signed a string of broker deals over the past 12 months that will determine whether the new module gains traction.

Australian broker FP Markets integrated Acuity's signal platform earlier this month under the FP Markets Intelligence brand, wiring AnalysisIQ into its MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 environments.

Days later, multi-asset broker Trade247 added the same bundle, bringing Acuity's tools into platforms operating under United Arab Emirates and Mauritius licenses.

OneRoyal added Acuity's signals and Dynamic Email product in November 2025. The same month, Traders' Hub integrated AnalysisIQ across its UAE and Seychelles operations, although the trade signals component was restricted to the broker's Seychelles entity pending local regulatory clearance.

Zarvista Capital Markets, MYFX Markets, Hantec Markets and prop firm FunderPro all announced Acuity Trading integrations during 2025.

The vendor's AnalysisIQ output is produced by Acuity Research Limited, which holds authorization from the UK Financial Conduct Authority. The structure helps regulated brokers navigate compliance review when integrating third-party signals.

The broader 2025 trend, captured in FM Intelligence research showing top-five CFD broker market share static at 38% over four years, points to a market where differentiation through trader experience matters more than headline acquisition spend.

Pattern Recognition is available now through Acuity's white-label intelligence platform across MT4, MT5, cTrader, web widgets, APIs and proprietary environments, the company said.
