FAQ

Yes. The algorithms are traded under a letter of direction, meaning you still have access to your funds. There is no holdout period, if you wish to stop, simply email the broker and let them know. Once you are ready, you could email the broker and let them know. They would in turn reenable the algorithms in your account.

Algorithmic trading differs from other styles of trading in several key ways:

1. Automation: Algorithmic trading involves using pre-programmed instructions (algorithms) to automatically execute trades based on predefined criteria. This automation reduces the need for manual intervention and allows for rapid execution of trades.

2. Speed: Algorithms can analyze market conditions and execute trades at speeds much faster than human traders. This high-speed trading is particularly advantageous in markets where milliseconds can make a significant difference in trade outcomes

3. Quantitative Analysis: Algorithmic trading heavily relies on quantitative analysis, statistical models, and mathematical algorithms to make trading decisions. These algorithms are designed to identify patterns, trends, and opportunities in the market based on historical data and complex calculations.

4. Reduced Emotional Bias: Human traders can be influenced by emotions such as fear, greed, or overconfidence, impacting their decision-making process. Algorithmic trading eliminates emotional biases as trades are executed based on preset rules without emotional interference.

5. Backtesting and Optimization: Algorithms can be backtested using historical data to assess their performance under different market conditions. This process allows traders to refine and optimize their strategies before deploying them in live markets.

6. Diversification and Scalability: Algorithms can be diversified across various assets and markets simultaneously, enabling traders to manage multiple strategies and assets efficiently. Algorithmic trading strategies are also easily scalable, allowing for increased trade volume without significantly impacting performance.

7. Market Access: Algorithmic trading provides access to various markets, including stocks, commodities, currencies, and derivatives, with the ability to execute trades 24/7 in global markets.

8. Risk Management: Risk management can be integrated directly into algorithms to automatically apply stop-loss orders, position sizing, and other risk controls, reducing the potential for significant losses.

Overall, algorithmic trading stands out for its reliance on automation, speed, data-driven decision-making, and the ability to execute trades with reduced emotional interference compared to other trading styles, such as discretionary trading or fundamental analysis-based trading.

Our representatives can help you get set up in just a few easy steps.

We offer various options for auto-trade execution. Get in touch with us for more information and details regarding these options.

Do you develop your own algorithms?

Indeed, all our algorithms have been developed in-house. Our lead developer holds a Masters of Quantitative Finance and boasts a career history that includes employment at major firms such as Saloman Brothers, J.P. Morgan, and Two Sigma.

Engineers specializing in Logic/ASIC design possess extensive knowledge of finite state machines and adeptness in implementing intricate parallel processing logic. We firmly believe that these proficiencies seamlessly translate into the realm of programming quantitative algorithms for trading systems. The market functions akin to an expansive state machine, where trade executions hinge on diverse sequences of events. Furthermore, logic design engineers possess a knack for debugging and meticulously scrutinizing the code they fashion. This critical approach aligns remarkably well with Quant trading methodologies.

Contrary to popular belief, crafting a trading algorithm is just the tip of the iceberg. The true challenge lies in ensuring the algorithm doesn't succumb to over-optimization and performs efficiently post-optimization. Taking a critical and somewhat pessimistic stance in designing an algorithmic trading strategy proves invaluable in delivering a robust product. Our goal is to produce algorithms that not only exhibit impressive back-tested performance but also excel in walk-forward testing and, ultimately, during live trades.

We trade the FX Futures market, both long and short 23 currency pairs. The futures trades are mostly day-trades, however it is possible that we could hold overnight.

Indeed, there is ample support accessible to you through the broker and representatives at Ampalgos.com.

Yes, we do. This is an integral part of our algorithm maintenance process. Should we discover enhancements for the current algorithms, we promptly share these updates with our auto-execution brokers and make every effort to inform all existing customers of the modifications.

Our system operates entirely on automation. If you choose one of our auto-execution brokers, no setup or action is required from your end. Once the setup is complete, your auto-execution broker will handle algorithmic trades on your account to the best of their abilities. You'll receive a daily statement, and a smartphone app is available to provide real-time alerts when trades are executed in your account.

No, pursuant to CFTC Rule 4.14(a)(9)(ii) we are not required to register under the Act as a commodity trading advisor. The algorithms are auto-executed for our clients under a Letter of Direction.

A person is exempt from registration as a CTA if “[i]t does not engage in . . . [p]roviding commodity trading advice base on, or tailored to, the commodity interest or cash market positions or other circumstances or characteristics of particular clients.”
