For trading firms

Licence the HFT strategy. Learn to run it.

Some firms have capital, exchange relationships and infrastructure, but no alpha of their own. We licence our high-frequency strategy as code: profitable on its own, and capable of 1B+ a month in turnover when run as a market-making programme. You get the code, the engine and hands-on training in tuning the parameters for your venues, pairs and risk appetite.

Who it is for.

Licensing makes sense when the missing piece is the strategy, not the desk.

Proprietary trading firms

You run capital and want a market-neutral HFT book alongside directional strategies, without a two-year build.

Market-making desks and vendors

You have volume mandates from exchanges or token projects and need a strategy that can deliver 1B+ a month under a cost cap.

Funds adding a strategy

You have infrastructure and risk oversight and want a proven high-frequency sleeve with clear parameters.

What you get.

The strategy code, the engine it runs in, and the people who built both, for as long as you need them.

  • The HFT market-making strategy as source code, versioned
  • The event-driven engine, risk system, gateway and exchange adapters
  • Configuration for your venues, pairs and product types
  • The backtester and simulated-trading environment for safe tuning
  • Documented parameters with recommended ranges and the reasoning behind them
  • Updates, and support hours agreed in the licence

Two ways to run it.

Same code, one switch in the objective.

Standalone P&L

  • Earns spread and maker rebates, inventory kept near flat
  • Market-neutral, holding periods of seconds to minutes
  • Sized to your capital and the venue’s fee tier

Volume programme

  • Maximises filled turnover under a hard cap on cost per $10k traded
  • 1B+ a month per deployment at full size
  • Reports turnover, share of tape and cost against the mandate

What we teach.

You do not need to re-derive the models to run them well. You do need to understand the parameters, the two objectives and what the numbers on the dashboard mean. Keep scrolling.

01 / 05

Reading the book and the dashboard

What the control plane shows, which numbers matter each hour of the day, and how to tell healthy quoting from quoting that is about to lose money.

  • Fill quality, turnover, inventory usage and cost per $10k
  • Channel health and rate-limit signals
  • Alert levels and what each one means
02 / 05

Size, levels and queue position

The parameter families that decide how much you trade: quote size, how many levels, how aggressively you hold queue position, and how skew responds to inventory. These are the volume levers, and how they interact with volatility.

  • Spread floors and ceilings per pair
  • Quote size and stepping across the book
  • Switching between standalone and volume objectives
03 / 05

Risk limits

Setting inventory, per-order, daily-loss and leverage caps for your capital, and understanding the escalation ladder the system follows when they are hit.

  • Sizing limits to capital and venue depth
  • Reduce-only, halt and freeze behaviour
  • Circuit breaker and kill switch drills
04 / 05

Pair, venue and fee tier

Which markets suit the strategy, how to evaluate a new pair in simulation, and how maker tiers, rebates and collateral terms change the answer for a volume mandate.

  • Depth, tape and spread screens
  • Fee and rebate economics per venue
  • Adding a venue through the adapter
05 / 05

Tuning with the backtester

Running parameter grids and walk-forward tests, reading a tearsheet, calibrating fill assumptions against small-size live data, and moving a change from backtest to simulation to live without skipping steps.

  • Grid search and walk-forward validation
  • Calibrating latency, slippage and fill models
  • Promotion checklist and rollback

How onboarding works.

Typically a few weeks from first call to live quotes at small size, longer if new venues need integrating.

1

Assessment

Your venues, capital, mandates, infrastructure and team. We say honestly whether licensing fits.

2

Deployment

Engine and strategy installed on your infrastructure, connected to your venues, running in simulation.

3

Training and tuning

Hands-on sessions with your team on the five modules above, parameters set for your book or your mandate.

4

Live and support

Small-size live, then ramp, with update releases and support hours under the licence.

Terms of the boundary.

Being clear about it is part of the offer.
