Quant Work & Algorithmic Trading
End-to-end development of proprietary trading infrastructure — from signal research through live execution.
What We Build
Execution Algorithms & Smart Order Routing
Custom execution bots (TWAP, VWAP, iceberg) that minimize market impact across multiple venues. Slippage analysis and fill optimization.
Tick-Level Backtesting Frameworks
Event-driven simulation engines replaying L2/L3 order book data with realistic fee models, partial fills, and latency modeling. No look-ahead bias.
Pre-Trade Risk Controls & Kill Switches
Gateway-level checks: position limits, drawdown circuit breakers, max order size, and emergency kill switches that halt trading in milliseconds.
Statistical Arbitrage & Market Making
Cointegration models, pairs/basket strategies, and automated market-making engines for crypto and equities with inventory risk management.
Signal Research & Alpha Generation
Feature engineering from microstructure data (order flow imbalance, VPIN, Kyle's lambda), cross-sectional momentum, and alternative data integration.
Real-Time Market Data Infrastructure
Low-latency WebSocket feeds, order book reconstruction, VWAP/TWAP calculators, and tick database ingestion (TimescaleDB, ClickHouse).
Technologies
Good Fit For
- • Trading firms needing proprietary execution infrastructure built from scratch or replacing vendor solutions
- • Funds with existing strategies that need production-grade backtesting and risk management
- • Teams that want a senior quant engineer embedded for 2-12 weeks, not a junior contractor
Not a Fit For
- • Retail traders looking for a trading bot they can buy off the shelf
- • Teams that need regulatory compliance consulting (we build the tech, not the compliance framework)
- • Firms without existing market data feeds or exchange connectivity to build on
How the Engagement Works
Strategy & Infrastructure Audit
Week 1Review existing codebase, data feeds, execution stack, and risk controls. Identify gaps and define the build scope.
Architecture & Design
Week 2System design document covering data flow, latency targets, failover strategy, and deployment topology. You approve before code is written.
Core Build Sprint
Weeks 3-8Production development with weekly demos and test results. Every component ships with unit tests and integration tests.
Paper Trading & Validation
Weeks 9-10Deploy to paper trading environment. Validate execution quality, fill rates, and risk controls against live market data.
Production Deployment & Handoff
Weeks 11-12Go-live with monitoring dashboards, alerting, runbooks, and full documentation for your team to maintain.
