Frequently asked questions

Algorithmic trading software is technology that uses predefined rules or automated execution logic to process market conditions and generate or route trading instructions. It typically includes a rule engine, data handling, risk checks, monitoring and logging, and it can connect to a broker API where the framework permits.

A documented strategy is broken into discrete, testable conditions. Software evaluates those conditions against market data on a schedule or on data events, produces structured instructions when conditions are met, applies risk limits, and — where enabled — submits orders to a supported broker API. Every step is logged.

Yes, when the strategy is expressed as clear, testable rules. You provide entries, exits, indicators, stop-loss, position sizing, re-entry rules, trading hours and risk limits. TimeXtrade builds the rule engine, backtesting components, risk logic, dashboard and supported integrations. Coding a strategy does not make it profitable.

The market and instruments, the timeframe, precise entry and exit rules, indicators and parameters, stop-loss and take-profit logic, position sizing, re-entry rules, trading hours, risk limits and any execution requirements. Ambiguity in the rules becomes ambiguity in the software.

No. TimeXtrade provides software and technology only. It does not give investment advice, personalised recommendations, trading tips or buy/sell signals, and it is not a registered investment adviser.

No. TimeXtrade does not guarantee returns, profits or any trading outcome. Automated execution does not remove market, liquidity, execution or technology risk, and backtested results are hypothetical.

Historical market data is replayed through the same rule logic used live. The backtester opens and closes simulated positions, applies cost and slippage assumptions, and reports metrics such as maximum drawdown, win rate, profit factor and longest losing streak. It verifies that an implementation matches its specification; it does not predict the future. More on backtesting.

Integration is possible for supported broker/API environments, subject to the applicable broker, exchange and regulatory requirements and the broker's API terms. TimeXtrade does not claim compatibility with every broker; feasibility is assessed per project.

Market and liquidity risk, execution risk and slippage, data errors or feed outages, connectivity failures, software defects and configuration mistakes, and the risk that a rule set was over-fitted to historical data. Monitoring, conservative limits and human oversight reduce but do not remove these risks. See the Risk & Regulatory Disclosure.
