Piggy Native & Mobile
Native desktop and mobile trading terminals, wired straight into the broker backend — the same order book, quotes and execution flow on the desk and in your pocket, wearing the operator's brand.
01Overview
Piggy Broker gives clients a serious trading experience on every surface — and these are the native ones. A native desktop terminal and a mobile app, both wired into the same book, quotes and order flow as the web terminal, both white-labelled to the operator.
02The problem it solves
Traders don't all live in a browser. A desk wants a fast, dockable native application; a client on the move wants a phone app with biometric login and push alerts for fills and margin events. Building those as separate products tends to fragment the experience. Piggy's clients all connect to the one broker backend, so the book a trader sees on the desktop is the same book they see on their phone.
Result one codebase, every surface — the desk and the phone never drift out of sync.
03What we built
Web terminal
Although the focus here is the native clients, they sit beside a dockable, drag-to-arrange web terminal built in React and TypeScript — TradingView charts, order book, ticket, positions, tape, watchlist, margin and equity curve — with a full admin suite behind it.
Native desktop
A native desktop terminal built on a Rust core with a Qt/QML interface, packaged with signed installers for macOS, Windows and Linux. The Rust core handles the performance-critical path; the Qt/QML layer gives it a real native UI rather than a wrapped web view. On top of it sits a trading workflow built to beat MetaTrader 5 on ease of use — risk-first sizing, support/resistance stop suggestions, one-click market analysis and server-side trailing stops and robots (see below).
Mobile app
A React Native app for iOS and Android with biometric login, watchlists, trade tickets, positions, and push notifications for fills and margin events — so a client gets told the moment something on their account needs attention.
04Above MT5 — usability built in
The benchmark for a desktop trading terminal is MetaTrader 5. The native terminal keeps everything traders expect from it — dockable panels, one-click trading, market depth, a full charting stack — then strips out the friction MT5 leaves in.
- Risk-first order ticket. Type a risk percentage; the ticket sizes the position and previews the reward-to-risk, stop/target distances and the exact cash at risk — no hand-calculating lot sizes.
- Support/resistance stop & target suggester. One click reads real support and resistance off the chart and proposes a sensible stop-loss and take-profit for any open position — even one that isn't the symbol you're charting.
- One-click market analysis. A built-in analyzer scores the full indicator stack and a strategy ensemble — with an optional AI pass — and returns a bias, a confidence and a ready-to-place trade idea.
- Trailing stops that actually run. Trailing is server-side on the broker — set it from the chart, the ticket or the trade row and watch it ratchet live on the chart. It keeps working with the terminal closed, unlike a client-side MT5 trail.
- Robots without a VPS. Strategies run on the broker, not in a chart window — with live equity sparklines, halt-and-error alerts, a backtester with timeframe optimisation, and a sandboxed scripting language you can hand-write or generate with AI.
- It warns before it blocks. A loud margin-level warning and a live profit/loss readout while you drag a stop or target mean no silent rejections and no surprise losses.
Result the power of MT5 with the hand-holding it never had — faster to place a good trade, harder to place a bad one.
05One backend, every surface
The point of the lineup is consistency. Web, desktop and mobile all talk to the same Piggy Broker backend over real-time WebSockets, so quotes, the order book and execution behave identically wherever a trader is — and the operator's brand carries across all three.
