For hedge funds

Research that everyone on the desk can read.

Your value is in your ideas, not in how hard your code is to follow. AlgoBarsX makes a strategy short enough to review in a meeting, and exact enough to run.

What gets in your way.

Only the author understands the code

Review is slow, and key-person risk is high.

Tests nobody can repeat

Different machines, different data handling, different answers.

Research and production diverge

What was approved is not quite what is trading.

How AlgoBarsX helps.

Reviewable strategies

A strategy fits on a screen. The compiler also writes it out in plain English for PMs, risk and investors.

Tests you can repeat

Same script, inputs and data give the same result, to the last digit. Every run is kept with its code.

Written fill rules

24 numbered rules set out how every order fills. Careful when unsure: the stop wins.

Same code, test to live

The live runner places stops and sizes trades the way the test did. A trade exists only once the broker confirms it.

Portfolio tools

Many markets in one strategy, plus correlation, covariance, beta and matrix functions.

Protect your work

Sealed files and versioned libraries for sharing between teams or with partners.

Pairs, baskets and portfolios.

One strategy can read and trade several markets. This excerpt sets up a pairs trade between two currency pairs.

From the Pairs Mean Reversion example

strategy "EURUSD and GBPUSD Mean Reversion"

markets: EURUSD, GBPUSD

bars: 1h

max_open: 2

input lookback = 200

input entry_z = 2.0

input exit_z = 0.5

eur = bars(EURUSD)

gbp = bars(GBPUSD)

hedge = beta(returns(eur.close), returns(gbp.close), lookback)

What to check with us first. AlgoBarsX is in beta, so syntax and features may still change. There is no public API yet. Ask us about anything your firm needs in writing, such as where data is kept, audit logs, single sign-on, uptime and support hours. We will tell you plainly what exists today, what is planned, and what we do not do. Your licences, approvals and client rules stay your job.

Good questions.

Are trading costs modelled?

No. Fills carry no spread, commission, fees, swaps or slippage. Treat results as a clean upper reference and add your own cost model.

Which venues can it trade?

AlgoBars links to accounts on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and Interactive Brokers. See the AlgoBars brokers page.

Can we run it on our own servers?

Ask us. Today it runs on the AlgoBars platform.

What does beta mean for us?

The language works and passes 678 tests on every build. It is still being improved, so some syntax and features may change. Plan for that.

Let us show you with your own kind of strategy.
