FAQ

How Exactly Does This Work?

We provide fully automated and algorithmic trading systems that can be executed by one of our NFA-registered brokers. No prior experience is necessary as these algorithms function entirely on automation.

Here’s how it operates in a straightforward manner: Our algorithms are pre-loaded onto the broker’s trade servers, eliminating the need for any setup on your end. There’s no requirement for you to monitor charts all day or wait for emails or texts. Trades automatically take place within your account, and you’ll receive notifications via the account dashboard, informing you about initiated trades, stop/limit specifics, and
more.

The process involves discussing the algorithms with one of our representatives, reviewing pricing details, and opening/funding your account with a supporting broker. Depending on how quickly you open and fund the account, you could be operational within a single business day.

Our algorithm specialists are ready to address any questions you may have.

Can I Stop Any Time?

Yes. The algorithms operate under a letter of direction, giving you full access to your funds at all times. There is no lock-in period. If you wish to stop, simply email us at support@syncifyalgos.com to disable the algorithms in your account. When you’re ready to resume, just email us again, and we’ll reenable them.

How Does Algorithmic Trading In General, Differ From Other Styles of Trading?

Algorithmic trading differs from other styles of trading in several key ways:

  1. Automation: Algorithmic trading involves using pre-programmed instructions (algorithms) to automatically execute trades based on predefined criteria. This automation reduces the need for manual intervention and allows for rapid execution of trades.
  2. Speed: Algorithms can analyze market conditions and execute trades at speeds much faster than human traders. This high-speed trading is particularly advantageous in markets where milliseconds can make a significant difference in trade outcomes
  3. Quantitative Analysis: Algorithmic trading heavily relies on quantitative analysis, statistical models, and mathematical algorithms to make trading decisions. These algorithms are designed to identify patterns, trends, and opportunities in the market based on historical data and complex calculations.
  4. Reduced Emotional Bias: Human traders can be influenced by emotions such as fear, greed, or overconfidence, impacting their decision-making process. Algorithmic trading eliminates emotional biases as trades are executed based on preset rules without emotional interference.
  5. Backtesting and Optimization: Algorithms can be backtested using historical data to assess their performance under different market conditions. This process allows traders to refine and optimize their strategies before deploying them in live markets.
  6. Diversification and Scalability: Algorithms can be diversified across various assets and markets simultaneously, enabling traders to manage multiple strategies and assets efficiently. Algorithmic trading strategies are also easily scalable, allowing for increased trade volume without significantly impacting performance.
  7. Market Access: Algorithmic trading provides access to various markets, including stocks, commodities, currencies, and derivatives, with the ability to execute trades 24/7 in global markets.
  8. Risk Management: Risk management can be integrated directly into algorithms to automatically apply stop-loss orders, position sizing, and other risk controls, reducing the potential for significant losses.
  9. Overall, algorithmic trading stands out for its reliance on automation, speed, data-driven decision-making, and the ability to execute trades with reduced emotional interference compared to other trading styles, such as discretionary trading or fundamental analysis-based trading.

Is Support For Your System Available?

Indeed, there is ample support accessible to you through the broker and representatives at sales@syncifyalgos.com

Do You Conduct Periodic Algorithm Re-Optimization?

Yes, we do. This is an integral part of our algorithm maintenance process. Should we discover enhancements for the current algorithms, we promptly share these updates with our auto-execution brokers and make every effort to inform all existing customers of the modifications.

I'm Occupied And Unable To Monitor Charts

Our system operates entirely on automation. You’ll receive a daily statement, and a smartphone app is available to provide real-time alerts when trades are executed in your account.

Do You Have To Be Registered As A CTA In Order To Sell Your Algorithms?

No, pursuant to CFTC Rule 4.14(a)(9)(ii) we are not required to register under the Act as a commodity trading advisor. The algorithms are auto-executed for our clients under a Letter of Direction.

A person is exempt from registration as a CTA if “[i]t does not engage in . . . [p]roviding commodity trading advice base on, or tailored to, the commodity interest or cash market positions or other circumstances or characteristics of particular clients.”

Do You Develop Your Own Algorithms?

Indeed, all our algorithms have been developed in-house. Our lead developer holds a Masters of Quantitative Finance and boasts a career history that includes employment at major firms such as Saloman Brothers, J.P. Morgan, and Two Sigma.

Engineers specializing in Logic/ASIC design possess extensive knowledge of finite state machines and adeptness in implementing intricate parallel processing logic. We firmly believe that these proficiencies seamlessly translate into the realm of programming quantitative algorithms for trading systems. The market functions akin to an expansive state machine, where trade executions hinge on diverse sequences of events. Furthermore, logic design engineers possess a knack for debugging and meticulously scrutinizing the code they fashion. This critical approach aligns remarkably well with Syncify trading methodologies.

Contrary to popular belief, crafting a trading algorithm is just the tip of the iceberg. The true challenge lies in ensuring the algorithm doesn’t succumb to over-optimization and performs efficiently post-optimization. Taking a critical and somewhat pessimistic stance in designing an algorithmic trading strategy proves invaluable in delivering a robust product. Our goal is to produce algorithms that not only exhibit impressive back-tested performance but also excel in walk-forward testing and, ultimately, during live trades.
