Strategy Backtesting.
Backtests with fees, slippage, and fill logic you can defend.
Strategy Backtesting has to account for fees, latency, partial fills, and bad data before it reaches live capital. We make those assumptions visible and give operators a controlled path from research to production.
Best fit
Quant funds
Quant funds validating signal stability before allocation reviews.
Also useful for
- -Prop desks testing variants across regimes.
- -Discretionary teams codifying playbooks into testable systems.
Problems we solve
- -Research and live behavior disagree
- -Fees, slippage, or partial fills are missing from tests
- -Orders are not idempotent across retries
- -Risk controls depend on one operator
- -Failures cannot be reconstructed from logs
What we deliver
- -Working strategy backtesting with explicit assumptions
- -Validation criteria for paper or shadow operation
- -Risk limits and an operator-controlled stop path
- -Monitoring for orders, positions, and failures
- -Runbook for normal and degraded operation
How we work
- 1.Review the current path, constraints, and available evidence
- 2.Write the smallest useful scope and its acceptance checks
- 3.Ship reviewable increments in the existing repository
- 4.Validate the working path and document how to operate it
For teams in the UAE and Gulf
Strategy Backtesting is available to companies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE. We work in GST (UTC+4), on +971 58 516 5671, and we ship in your repo. Event-driven backtests with fees and sessions that match the venues you actually trade, including UAE holidays you name. We write this into scope: fees, sessions, and kill switches in the spec. Travel to Dubai when a room is the faster path. We will not pretend a local brass-plate office is the product.
Questions before starting
Can you continue an existing Strategy Backtesting project?
Yes. We review the current state first and keep working parts in place. Rewrites need a concrete technical reason.
What do you need before starting?
One person who can make scope decisions, access to the relevant repository or files, and examples of the current problem.
How is scope agreed?
The proposal names the working path, acceptance checks, exclusions, and dependencies. Timing follows from that scope rather than a standard package.
What remains with our team?
Code and design files stay in your systems. We also leave the tests, operating notes, and decisions needed to continue the work.
Do you take UAE clients for Strategy Backtesting?
Yes. Book a call on the +971 line. We scope in English, demo weekly in GST, and leave the work in your repo. Event-driven backtests with fees and sessions that match the venues you actually trade, including UAE holidays you name.
