Markets & Trading Systems
Real-Time PnL & Exposure Monitoring without the six-month discovery phase.
We focus on PnL and exposure alerts before small issues compound. Written scope, your stack, weekly demos — no account-manager layer.
TradingView alerts fire but real-time pnl & exposure monitoring — scope creep is the enemy. We agree on one metric, one cut line, and 10-12 weeks for production execution with risk gates. Then we build until that version is signed off.
Backtests that ignore fees are marketing, not research.
We won't go live without paper trading validation criteria in writing.
Primary buyer fit

Frequently asked questions
How is Real-Time PnL & Exposure Monitoring priced?
Fixed scope for sprints (10-12 weeks for production execution with risk gates). Broader work runs as a pod with weekly demos. We quote after a 30-minute scoping call.
What do you need from us to start?
One decision-maker, repo or staging access, and honest constraints (timeline, budget, stack). Existing docs help but aren't required.
Can you stay on after Real-Time PnL & Exposure Monitoring launches?
Yes — maintenance sprints or a partner retainer. Many teams keep us for the next bottleneck once v1 is stable.
Who on your team works on Real-Time PnL & Exposure Monitoring?
The same small team from kickoff to launch — not a rotating bench. You talk to the people writing code or design files.
What does the first week of Real-Time PnL & Exposure Monitoring look like?
Access, repo setup, and a written scope draft. No build until you sign off on cut lines and the metric we're targeting.
