While in today’s competitive investment landscape, small firms with modest AUMs tend to dominate the market by number, they struggle to compete with larger players who control most of the assets. What many fail to realise, however, is that the key lies in scalable, efficient infrastructure that helps support their systematic trading strategies. Here’s why.
Internal or External? Price or Long-Term Benefits? The Choice Can Seem Tough
Turning systematic strategy into functional, reliable software requires significant time, technical knowledge, and financial resources. After all, this is a process that takes work and time, particularly as managers need to weigh whether to choose the more affordable options (like open-source software) over the one that provides more long-term benefits.
This conundrum can often place decision-makers between a rock and a hard place, opting to develop complex systems internally to cut costs, diverting attention from their true value driver: the investment strategy itself.
But we’re here to tell you the right choice does not have to break the bank or spoil your chances for more seamless future growth.
How Our Clients Are Putting Their Systematic Strategy First
Recently, a client of ours came to us looking for the right software to help them implement an intraday investment strategy that’s particularly sensitive to costs.
Since this strategy had been put together over many years of strategy research, it was crucial for them that the software followed their strategy to the letter. More importantly, it made the most of their findings and talents while doing away with human restrictions like reaction times.
With this in mind, we advised them to focus on signal generation, while delegating order generation, execution, and live portfolio monitoring to our CYBMIND platform.
This powerful automated-trading software can automatically analyse data from various sources, check it against set parameters, and then execute actions, making it perfect for the client. Moreover, it also comes with a built-in API that can seamlessly share data, and is also flexible and scalable enough to allow them to monitor slippage, track liquidity, and adjust orders dynamically based on custom rules.
Put Systematic Strategy First & Enjoy the Results!
Creating all the above from scratch would have taken our client years. With us, however, our client was able to start live API testing in just two months and, soon after, they began intraday trading tests with custom rules via FIX.
