Three years ago, I signed up with one of the big-name algorithm strategy providers. I thought I'd done my homework. Honestly? The results were a huge letdown.
I work in tech, so instead of walking away, I started digging. I'd never built a trading algorithm, but I could read the claims, the code, and the numbers. And I found a whole world beyond that one provider: other strategy firms, independent developers selling EAs, traders on Reddit sharing live results, and devs all over the world comparing notes.
What I couldn't find was anyone keeping track of it all. No one saying, “Tried one and it didn't work out? Here are your other options, and here's how they really stack up.”
So I started doing it myself. What began as me sharing notes online grew into a private members' group of 244 investors: business owners, professionals, people working full-time jobs who wanted their money working harder. I've helped every one of them get set up personally, and their questions shaped everything on this site.
This is the next step: a shortlist of the providers and EAs that actually held up. The one I wish I'd had three years ago.
Send me a quick note about your goals, your capital, and how much risk you're comfortable with.
I'll suggest the strategy from my shortlist that fits you best, and walk you through why.
I'll guide you through the broker and account setup step by step, so nothing feels like a black box.
As markets shift and new strategies make the shortlist, you hear about it first.
Systematic exposure to equity indices and FX in a single strategy, with the longest live record and the smallest drops on my shortlist. For most portfolios, this is the anchor.
Crypto's volatility clusters hard and the market never closes, which makes it the clearest case for automation in any asset class. What impressed me: its biggest drop from a high is 16.72%, in a market where falls of 20% or more are routine. I'd treat it as a satellite alongside a core strategy, not instead of one.
High-frequency trading in the deepest, most liquid market on earth. Because it trades so often, DRAGLINE has already built a statistically meaningful live record, the kind of sample size most strategies take years to reach. The most engineering-heavy system on my list, and exactly why it made the cut.
Brokers may pay a referral fee when you open an account through this site. It never adds to your costs. Standard trading costs, like spreads, are set by the broker.
