Quantitative trading for the rest of us.

We provide a simple API and powerful analytical tools so that you can quickly start generating and testing ideas.

Let us deal with infrastructure and tooling so that you can focus on the interesting part: developing and refining your investment strategies.

How does it work?

1. Develop

Use our in-browser Python IDE and our simple but powerful algorithm API to bring your ideas to life.

Our IDE gives you syntax validation and integrated autocomplete for security IDs and financial transforms.

2. Test

Run as many backtests as you want and see how your idea would have performed.

See your performance against benchmarks, all your transactions and day-by-day positions, and advanced risk metrics.

3. Execute

Soon, you'll be able to turn on your backtests to live events and easily paper trade or execute real orders.

No need to rewrite your algorithm, we handle all that for you.
