How much does a custom algo cost?
It depends on the number of rules, instruments and brokers involved. After the first call we give you a fixed quote with milestones, so you know the full cost before any work begins.
Do you guarantee my strategy will make money?
No. We build and test the software that runs your strategy, and backtests show how the rules would have behaved in the past. Trading decisions, and the profits or losses that come from them, stay yours.
Which markets and brokers can you work with?
Any market, and any broker or exchange with an API. In India we already connect to 100+ brokers, including Zerodha, Dhan, Angel One, Fyers, Upstox, Kotak Neo and ICICI Direct. For US and global markets we build on broker APIs such as Interactive Brokers, Alpaca and TradeStation, and on crypto exchange APIs.
Will my strategy stay confidential?
Yes. Your rules and code are used only for your project, and we're happy to sign an NDA before you share details.
Can you work with my existing code?
Yes. We regularly start from Python scripts, AmiBroker AFL, Pine Script, MQL or Excel models, and either extend them or rebuild them for live trading.
Who owns the software?
For custom builds, you do. Source code and documentation are handed over as set out in your quote. If we build on top of FNOTrader's existing platform instead, you get a licence to use it.
