Markets & Trading Systems
Trading System Audits & Consulting — scoped, shipped, signed off.
We focus on architecture and risk review with a fix list owners can execute. Written scope, your stack, weekly demos — no account-manager layer.
The desk needs visibility into trading system audits & consulting — scope creep is the enemy. We agree on one metric, one cut line, and 3-4 weeks for backtest framework v1. Then we build until that version is signed off.
Live trading without a kill switch is not a system — it's a bet.
We won't take PnL share deals — we bill for engineering only.

Frequently asked questions
Who on your team works on Trading System Audits & Consulting?
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 Trading System Audits & Consulting 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.
Do you work with our existing C++ or FIX protocol setup?
Yes, when it's sane. We audit first and tell you if something needs replacing — we won't rip out working infra for sport.
What if we already started Trading System Audits & Consulting in-house?
We pick up from current state, document what's there, and focus on what's blocking launch — not a rewrite unless necessary.
How is Trading System Audits & Consulting priced?
Fixed scope for sprints (3-4 weeks for backtest framework v1). Broader work runs as a pod with weekly demos. We quote after a 30-minute scoping call.
