Powerful, secretive firms employ cutting edge technology, armies of PhD graduates and genius generals to battle on the open markets with sophisticated trading algorithms. The victors turn their billions into more billions, growing ever more successful and dominant…

For the individual it seems hopeless. The statistics don’t lie; 80-90% of active traders lose money[1], but Stocktrack will challenge this mantra. We are establishing an algorithm trading framework to support submission and back-testing of trading algorithms online. These systems can be developed with team collaboration, harnessing each member’s insights.

And when you’re ready, you can trade with your own funds or access our networks of capital to leverage your work for higher returns. It is an exciting frontier; we are lowering the barriers to trading investment systems, giving you high-end server infrastructure without needing to worry about maintenance or monthly fees, and allow you to design systems in programming languages you understand.

That said, we are proud to announce the birth of QuantConnect.com, the next stage in Stocktrack’s evolution. Connecting Quants to a Community, Capital and Infrastructure.
