Every strategy undergoes rigorous testing, validation, and optimization before reaching your clients. Our proprietary process combines quantitative research, extensive backtesting, and forward testing to deliver algorithms you can trust.
Quality over quantity\u2014rigorous standards over rapid releases.
Every algorithm begins with quantitative research. We analyze historical data, identify market inefficiencies, and develop hypotheses based on statistical evidence—not hunches.
Before release, algorithms undergo minimum 5 years of historical backtesting plus 6+ months of forward testing in real market conditions.
We don’t optimize for past performance. Our algorithms are designed to adapt to future market conditions. All performance data is verifiable.
From concept to live deployment\u2014typically 9-12 months per strategy.
Quantitative researchers analyze historical data to identify market inefficiencies and statistically significant patterns.
Translating research into trading logic. Defining entry/exit rules, position sizing, and risk frameworks.
Implementation in Python/C++ using institutional-grade libraries. Includes unit testing and code reviews.
Historical validation across market cycles (Bull, Bear, Crisis). We require min 5 years data.
Failure Rate: 70-80% of strategies fail here and are discarded.
Fine-tuning parameters to ensure stability across different market regimes. Sensitivity analysis and stress testing.
Live market validation with real-time data and execution simulation. The ultimate reality check.
Only strategies that match backtest performance within ±10% proceed.
Live production release. Continuous 24/7 performance monitoring, automated health checks, and periodic review.
Strategies are built by experts with decades of combined experience at top hedge funds and proprietary trading firms.
How we differ from typical algorithm providers.
| Aspect | Typical Providers | AlgoStack |
|---|---|---|
| Backtesting Period | 1-2 years | 5-10+ years minimum |
| Forward Testing | None or minimal | Minimum 6 months |
| Market Conditions | Bull markets only | All conditions (Bull/Bear/Crash) |
| Out-of-Sample Testing | Rarely done | Mandatory (30-40% data) |
| Success Rate to Production | 90%+ approved | <20% make it through |
