Strategy automation

How strategy automation works

You have a strategy and want it to run on its own. These are the steps, in this order. You approve each one before the next begins, and nothing trades with real money until you say so.

The steps

  1. 1

    Tell us your strategy

    Message us on WhatsApp with a few lines about it, then share the details whichever way is easier for you.

    • A document, if you have your rules written down
    • Or a short Google Meet, where you walk us through it and we take the notes
  2. 2

    Scope and quote

    We agree exactly what will be built, then send a written quote and a tentative timeline. The price depends on how complex the strategy is.

  3. 3

    Your rules, in writing

    We write your strategy down as exact rules: entries, exits, stop-losses, re-entries, sizing, time limits and what should happen in unusual situations. You read it and confirm it. Nothing is built until you do.

  4. 4

    Build and backtest

    We code the confirmed rules and replay them over historical market data, including the bad days. You get the backtest report and can ask for changes before anything trades.

  5. 5

    Paper trading

    The algo runs on live market prices with simulated orders. You watch it trade your rules with no money at risk, and each day is compared with its backtest.

  6. 6

    Go live

    It starts on your broker account at a small size, with the exit-all switch ready. The size goes up only when you decide.

  7. 7

    Ongoing care

    As agreed in your quote, we keep an eye on it, fix issues, and update it when your broker or the exchange changes its rules.

What we need from you

  • Your strategy rules, in a document or on a call
  • A broker account with API access (we guide you through setting it up)
  • Answers to our questions while we write your rules down
  • Time to follow the paper-trading days and confirm each step

Who does what

You

You own the strategy and every decision about it.

  • Confirm the written rules

  • Stop it or exit any position at any time

Us

We do the engineering and keep it running.

  • Write down, build and backtest your rules
  • Set up and run your private server
