Overview
The first HFT multi-terminal
Westernpips has built latency arbitrage software since 2007. In December 2018 we released Private 7, the world’s first multi-terminal for HFT latency arbitrage: fast data feeds, broker accounts and arbitrage algorithms in one program, giving independent traders the edge that used to belong to institutional desks. Today it remains our flagship terminal, updated with new connectors and algorithms.
-
Fast HFT data feeds
10 built-in fast data feeds, direct TCP, FIX, ITCH and API connections, and an engine that processes every tick from every feed in real time.
-
HFT arbitrage algorithms
10+ ready-to-trade HFT strategies, from classic OneLeg to hidden TwoLegLock and spread trading across many brokers, each tuned to your broker and symbol.
-
Strategy testing on real ticks
Record real ticks, replay them in the Back Tester and see gaps, slippage and execution before a single trade with real money.
-
Low-latency connectivity
Institutional-grade FIX, ITCH, TCP and API connections to liquidity providers, exchanges and brokers, with every account and strategy on one dashboard.
Westernpips Private 7 (WP7) is a Windows multi-terminal for latency arbitrage and high-frequency trading (HFT) in Forex, CFD, metals, indices, stock and crypto symbols. It compares a fast quote feed with a slower broker quote tick by tick and opens and closes trades automatically through M4 and M5 Platform Brokers (direct TCP or an EA connector), cTrader FIX, FIX and API connections to liquidity providers and exchanges, or ITCH. It includes 10 built-in WP Fast Sources, 37+ connectors, 10+ arbitrage algorithms, risk controls, a Tick Analyser and a Strategy Back Tester. Developed by Westernpips, an HFT software company founded in 2007; lifetime licence from $777 (plans and prices). The trader chooses the broker, data source and settings; results depend on them and are not guaranteed.
Latency arbitrage
How latency arbitrage works in Private 7
Every broker receives the market a little late. For a few milliseconds its screen still shows the old price while the fast feed has already moved. Private 7 measures that gap on every tick and trades it before the broker catches up.
Compare every tick
Each tick of the fast feed is compared with the broker’s quote, and the gap is calculated in points.
Open when the gap is big enough
When the gap passes your threshold, the algorithm opens a trade at the slow broker before its price updates.
Close when the broker catches up
The position closes when the broker’s price catches up, or by your take profit, stop loss or time limit.
Why the delay exists: brokers and liquidity providers process market data at different speeds, and volatility, server load and execution delays create short price lags. More in the guide What is latency arbitrage. Measured data on how long these windows last: How Long Do Stale Quotes Last?, research by Alexander Vinsky, our Head of Research.
Multi-terminal
One terminal. Every account. Every strategy.
A professional workspace built for one job: latency arbitrage at scale. Feeds, broker accounts, algorithms, charts, logs and risk limits live in one window, and every running strategy reports to a single dashboard.
- Dashboard
- Every running strategy with live equity, session profit in points, signals, scheduler and long/short permissions.
- Strategies
- A tab per algorithm: providers, symbol, gap threshold, lot, execution and exit settings, with its own log.
- Connections
- Broker accounts, WP Fast Sources and FIX, API, ITCH and TCP connectors.
- Contracts
- Symbol mapping, so EURUSD, XAUUSD or BTCUSD from different sources are compared correctly.
- Schedulers
- Trading windows and pauses around news releases.
Algorithms
10+ HFT arbitrage algorithms, ready to trade
Years of live trading turned into ready-made latency arbitrage strategies. Each one can be tuned for speed, volume, holding time and masking, and several can run at once on different accounts. The diagram on each tile shows what it connects: the fast feed and the broker accounts.
OneLeg
The classic algorithm: one fast feed against one slow broker. Opens a trade at the broker when the gap passes your threshold. The simplest way to start and to measure a broker.
LifetimeTwoLegLock
Two-leg lock arbitrage. The signal opens a locking pair of Buy and Sell orders on one account or across two, held for a set time. Trades are hidden behind a second account, making arbitrage nearly undetectable.
LifetimeMultiLegSpread
Spread arbitrage between several brokers: it analyses many quotes at once and trades where the spread gives the best opportunity.
LifetimeTwoLegSimpleHedge
Hedging between a fast and a slow broker: the fast quote opens opposite positions on two broker accounts.
LifetimeRemote
Two-leg trading from two VPS servers with different IP addresses, reducing the risk of detection.
LifetimeTrade Copier
Copies trades between trading terminals, including M4 and M5 Platform Brokers.
LifetimeOneLegMulti
One leg with several fast feeds at once: for each signal the algorithm uses the fastest quote from multiple providers.
SubscriptionOneLegHidden
Hidden one-leg arbitrage between different brokers and accounts, designed for a more natural trading profile.
SubscriptionTwoLegStandard
Statistical spread arbitrage between two brokers.
SubscriptionNews Scheduler
Time windows for trading or pausing around news releases, set per strategy.
All users
TwoLegLock in detail
The fast feed sends the signal; two broker accounts hold a full lock, and the orders close by the minimum order time and points you set.
Which algorithms come with each plan is shown on the Buy Now page. Settings and examples are in the algorithms documentation.
Connectivity
HFT trading platform connectivity: FIX, ITCH, TCP and API
The same protocols that banks and exchanges use, available to every Private 7 trader. FIX API and ITCH bypass traditional broker infrastructure for low-latency data and fast order execution.
- FIX API
- Direct access to liquidity providers and institutional venues such as PrimeXM, OneZero, LMAX, Integral and CFH.
- ITCH
- The fastest method for receiving real-time market data.
- TCP

Testing
Back Tester: test HFT strategies on real ticks
Test on real ticks before you risk real money. The Strategy Back Tester runs arbitrage strategies on real ticks recorded from live sessions and shows how they would behave with your gap, slippage, commission and execution settings, before you trade live.
The Tick Analyser saves tick history to trace files and compares providers, gaps and spreads on several charts.

The ultimate defense against broker detection
Brokers have implemented plug-ins and countermeasures to prevent arbitrage traders from profiting. Westernpips Private 7 is equipped with stealth execution technology to bypass broker restrictions and remain undetectable.
With Invisible Trader Mode, Westernpips Private 7 enables traders to operate freely and avoid broker detection.
How Private 7 ensures undetectability
- Trades appear manually executed: orders are placed with zero EA signature.
- No direct broker communication: eliminates broker-side execution tracking.
- Slippage reduction technology: execution at the desired price.
- Multi-IP and VPS switching: prevents brokers from flagging trading accounts.
Infrastructure
Built for speed: execution and requirements
- Direct trading via TCP, FIX, API and ITCH for fast market access.
- Less slippage and fewer requotes, depending on broker conditions.
- Every tick from all connected feeds is processed in real time, with gaps and signals calculated inside the program.
Place the VPS in the same data centre as the broker’s servers: Europe (LD4), North America (NY4) or Asia (TY3, SG1). Costs are explained in the HFT infrastructure cost guide.

Who want an edge in latency arbitrage across several brokers and accounts.
Prop firms and trading desks
Running many accounts and strategies from one terminal.
HFT traders
Who need low-latency execution and direct FIX, ITCH and TCP connections.

Who it is not for
Private 7 is not a plug-and-play profit robot, a signal service or account management. It suits traders who are ready to choose a broker, measure latency and test settings themselves. Westernpips does not provide lists of “working brokers” or ready profitable settings.
Westernpips also trades its own accounts with Private 7; see Myfxbook monitorings and trading statements.

What is Westernpips Private 7?
Westernpips Private 7 (WP7) is a Windows multi-terminal for latency arbitrage and high-frequency trading. It compares a fast quote feed with a slower broker tick by tick and trades the gap automatically, with 10+ arbitrage algorithms, risk controls, a Tick Analyser and a Strategy Back Tester.
Which platforms and brokers does Private 7 work with?
Private 7 connects to M4 and M5 Platform Brokers through direct TCP or an EA connector, to cTrader through FIX, to liquidity providers and exchanges through FIX, API and ITCH, and to platforms without an API through a clicker. Westernpips does not provide lists of working brokers; the trader chooses the broker and checks its terms.
Which algorithms are included?
OneLeg, TwoLegLock, MultiLegSpread, TwoLegSimpleHedge, Remote and Trade Copier come with the licence, depending on the plan. OneLegMulti, OneLegHidden and TwoLegStandard come with the Back Tester and Analyser subscription. The News Scheduler is available to all users.
Do I need fast data feeds?
Yes, latency arbitrage needs a feed that is faster than the broker. Private 7 includes 10 built-in WP Fast Sources and 37+ connectors for your own feeds from liquidity providers, exchanges and brokers.
What do I need to run Private 7?
A Windows VPS with Windows Server 2022 or later, 2–4 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM and 80 GB disk, located close to your broker’s servers, for example in LD4, NY4, TY3 or SG1, and a trading account with a broker you choose.
Can I test strategies before trading live?
Yes. Private 7 records real ticks, and the Strategy Back Tester runs strategies on them with gap, slippage, commission and execution settings, so you can check settings before trading live.
What is the difference between Private 7 and WebClick?
Private 7 is the full multi-terminal with direct TCP, FIX, API and ITCH connections and 10+ algorithms. Westernpips WebClick is a separate product for latency arbitrage on broker web terminals where a trading API is not available.
Is Private 7 an HFT EA or an HFT bot?
Neither alone. Private 7 is a standalone HFT trading platform for Windows, not a single expert advisor. Its algorithms work as automated HFT bots inside the terminal, and with M4 and M5 Platform Brokers it trades through a direct TCP connection or an EA connector (Simple EA mode).
Can individual traders use high frequency trading software?
Yes. Private 7 was built so that independent traders can use HFT tools that used to belong to institutional desks. You can manage it from home, but the terminal itself should run on a Windows VPS next to your broker’s servers, because a home internet connection is too slow for latency arbitrage.
Is latency arbitrage still profitable in 2026?
It can be, but the price windows are short and depend on the broker, symbol and infrastructure, and many brokers restrict it. Our research on stale quotes in XAUUSD at three retail brokers measures how long these windows actually last. Test your broker with the Back Tester before trading live.
Does Westernpips Private 7 guarantee profit?
No. Westernpips sells software, not profits. Results depend on the broker, market conditions, latency, execution and the trader’s settings, and some brokers restrict latency arbitrage in their client agreements.
Is there a cracked version of Westernpips Private 7?
No. There is no official free or cracked version, and cracked copies can steal broker logins and API keys. Private 7 is sold only through the official Westernpips client area; see the page about Westernpips crack and fake sellers.
