A CLOSER LOOK

Inside stock trading bot development.

Our stock trading bot development service automates equity strategies through broker APIs - backtested, risk-controlled, and yours to own.

Equities have their own quirks: gaps, halts, and session rules. We build bots that respect them and size risk for equity volatility.

We integrate Alpaca, Interactive Brokers, and others, backtest with realistic costs, and paper-trade before any live capital.

Full source ownership, documentation, and 30-day support.

THE DELIVERY PROCESS

A clear path from
brief to handover.

We agree the requirements and review working milestones together. The process below is adapted to the systems, testing and operating needs of your project.

  1. 01

    Discovery and Fit

    We confirm the equity strategy survives commissions, slippage, and market hours.

  2. 02

    Risk and Safeguards

    Position sizing, max-loss limits, and stops sized for equity volatility and gaps.

  3. 03

    Build and Honest Backtest

    We code against the broker API and backtest on historical equity data with costs modelled.

  4. 04

    Test and Go Live

    Paper trading via the broker, then supervised live with a first-week watch.

BEFORE WE START

Let’s define
a useful first version.

Share the workflow you want to improve, the platforms you use and any existing code or examples. We’ll work through the requirements, dependencies and acceptance checks with you before proposing a build.

Each custom project is quoted individually. Hosting, external services and ongoing maintenance are made clear in the agreed scope.

Talk through your requirements
PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Before we
get started.

Answers to the questions that help define your project.

How much does a stock trading bot cost?

We review your requirements, integrations and delivery scope before preparing a project-specific quote. The proposal sets out the work, milestones and any ongoing costs. Changes are discussed and agreed before additional work begins.

Which brokers do you support?

Alpaca and Interactive Brokers are common; we can integrate other brokers with a suitable API.

Do you backtest on equity data?

Yes - with commissions, slippage, and gap risk modelled, plus paper trading before live.

Can it trade pre/post-market?

Yes where the broker allows - the bot is market-hours and halt aware.

Do you sign NDAs?

Always, before any strategy details are shared.
