Who it's for

Test more ideas with the team you have. In AlgoBarsX a strategy is one page your whole desk can read, test and run.

A strategy short enough to review in a meeting, and exact enough to run. More ideas get tested, and no strategy depends on the one person who can read its code.

What you get.

  • Reviewable strategies.

    A strategy fits on a screen.

  • Tests you can repeat.

    Same script, inputs and data give the same result, to the last digit.

  • Written fill rules.

    24 numbered rules set out how every order fills.

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.

Portfolio tools

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

See the example

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.
