Strategy development

No strategy yet? We develop one with you.

This service is for traders who want to trade with an algo but do not have a strategy of their own yet. Bring an idea, even a rough one, and we develop a strategy with you from scratch, testing every version on years of historical market data. You choose the rules, and the strategy is yours.

Who it is for

  • You want to trade with an algo, but do not have a strategy yet
  • You have an idea or a setup you watch, but not exact rules
  • You trade by feel and want to turn it into rules you can test
  • You want to see how an idea would have done before risking money on it

How it works

  1. 1

    Your idea

    Tell us what you have in mind, in your own words: what you watch, when you would want to enter, and what worries you about it.

  2. 2

    Scope and quote

    We agree what will be developed and tested, then send a written quote and a tentative timeline.

  3. 3

    Testable rules

    We turn the idea into precise rules a computer can follow, and ask you about anything that is open.

  4. 4

    Versions, side by side

    We backtest different versions of it and show you how each one behaved, good days and bad.

  5. 5

    Refine and choose

    You tell us what to try next, and we test it. When you are happy, you pick the version to keep.

  6. 6

    Your strategy, in writing

    You get the final rules written down, with the backtest report for the version you chose.

What we can test

  • Entry times and entry conditions
  • Stop-losses, targets and trailing exits
  • Which strikes to trade, and how many lots
  • Filters, such as days to skip or gap openings
  • Re-entries after a stop-loss or a target
  • Daily loss or profit limits

What you get

  • Your strategy, with every rule spelled out
  • Backtest reports for the versions we tested
  • A full report on the version you chose
  • All of it is yours to keep, whether or not you automate it
