Algorithmic trading turns a strategy into software that watches markets, generates signals and places orders on its own, with a consistency manual trading cannot match. The hard part is not the entry rule; it is everything around it: realistic testing, position sizing, risk limits, order handling when the connection drops, and knowing at any moment what the system is doing. SemBricks builds algorithmic trading systems for prop traders, systematic firms, funds and individual professionals, in forex, equities, futures, options and crypto.
From Idea to Live Strategy
- Strategy development: your rules translated into precise, testable code, with no hidden assumptions.
- Backtesting: testing on historical data with realistic spreads, slippage and costs, so results mean something. See also what is backtesting.
- Live execution: order management, broker connectivity, reconnects and monitoring for running with real capital.
- Portfolio automation: rebalancing, allocation across strategies and risk limits at portfolio level.
Where It Runs
Strategies can run inside MetaTrader as an expert advisor, see MetaTrader development, or as standalone systems connected directly to brokers and exchanges through their APIs, such as Interactive Brokers, Binance and Bybit. For the product side, see algorithmic trading software and trading bots.
Frequently Asked Questions about Algorithmic Trading Development
Can you build my strategy exactly as I trade it manually?
Usually yes, once every rule is made explicit. Writing the rules down precisely is the first step, and it often reveals decisions you now make by feel.
Why do backtests and live results differ?
Mostly because of unrealistic assumptions about costs, fills and data. We model spreads, slippage and execution as realistically as the data allows, and compare live results against the backtest.
Is our strategy kept confidential?
Yes. We sign an NDA on request before you share any strategy details.
Do we own the source code?
You can. Ownership of the source code is set out in the contract, and the code can be fully yours, including documentation and tests.
