What is Custom Algo Software?
Custom algo software is built specifically for your strategy requirements — rather than using off-the-shelf platforms. It gives you full control over logic, data sources, execution, and user interface.
When Do You Need Custom Software?
- Your strategy requires very specific data or logic not available in generic platforms
- You need sub-second latency that standard tools cannot achieve
- You want to productise your strategy for internal or external use
- Existing platforms do not support your broker or exchange
