Trading systems that run themselves

Automated trading systems developed and operated internally. The interesting parts are the discipline: testing, risk, and knowing when to switch a system off.

We build and operate automated trading systems for our own account. The craft is less about prediction and more about discipline: rigorous testing, honest measurement of risk, and the willingness to turn a system off.

The systems are private. The lessons occasionally are not.
