Enabling intraday strategies


Dear users,

we released today 1 min bars on our back testing grid. This really opens the door to intraday trading strategies on our platform.

We are trying to keep a steady pace on releasing new features. The top of our todo list now contains features such as mixing different bar sizes, allowing our users to follow their strategies in paper trading every day, adding non price events such as market open or expiry notices.

We had tremendous feedback from our users who tried our support, keep challenging them. I hope you will enjoy the new features in this 1.2 version of Market Runner.

Hard Figures


Following our opening I wanted to share with you a couple of figures.

Over the last 6 weeks :

  • they performed over 50 000 simulations on our platform

  • All mails sent to support@algodeal.com have been looked at within 24hrs

  • a large number of the features requested have been implemented



Thanks to our users for this intial great success!

A new wave of features will come out soon, keep challenging our support for more.

One step beyond


The natural next step after deploying our backtest platform is starting to trade. In the next couple of weeks we will reach out to our best scoring users to offer them a free ride.

We will allocate a small amount of capital, circa 50K€ per strategy, with friendly conditions.

In a nutshell before we trade using the capital of our investors we will use ours with very flexible conditions for the users.

How does this work?

- Post us strategies
- Users with strategies scoring north 8 will be contacted
- Users will be asked to pass through our risk constraints and further detailed backtesting
- A subset of strategies will be selected and users will be offered to enter into a non-binding agreement. The main point being they can pull out with a one week notice and we will stop using their strategy
- We allocate money to strategies, trade upon their signal, share the profits


Sounds like a good enough deal?
