Hi everyone! We developed a no-code platform for algorithmic trading. TradeBase provides professional and amateurs a friendly environment to configure trading strategies, backtest them, implement them, and get signals without needing to code a single line. There is also a community section to share your strategies and clone the shared strategies if you want. Our vision is helping everyone to start trading at higher technical levels! Help us improve the platform joining the beta testers community. Thanks!

A question for you and other developers of quant trading platforms:

How do you prevent insider trading?

Seems like the best way to trade with insider information is to "create a quant strategy" that happens to do what you want...

How does one sign up to get access?

Is the beta testers community invite-only? Also, if the system you've built is really usable for trading, is it not more profitable to simply use it internally and trade your own capital? Have you tried to do that?

Layman here but I believe even a wonderful algorithm requires constant babysitting (as to not accidentally blow up your account via a bug) and the algo may only have an edge for a limited time at which point you need to figure out a new edge for your algo or develop a new one all together which could takes weeks or months. OP has chosen to sell shovels for the gold rush and make some passive income rather than do the constant, back breaking work of digging for gold.

It seems to me that this is a platform for people to build trading algorithms - they're selling that, not a particular algorithm.

I’m sure if someone develops a profitable trading algorithm, the platform owner will use it also.

Fantastic idea - love the historical performance and fake money testing features. Can I grab an invitation code?

Looks interesting yet we can't sign up so why advertise it?

Too bad I don’t have an Invitation Code.

Maybe they literally mean no code.

Maybe the code is the empty string?

I call BS on no code: "Deploy your Algorithm" implies some form of logic, directional instructions, or configuration to "Deploy your Algorithm".

"Tradebase lets you create complex algorithms and combine multiple indicators and timeframes simultaneously. Implement sophisticated buy and sell rules!" => that is code.

While it may not be "code" in the Python code idea, there is something that has to be setup, tested, maintained, and updated over time.

There is literally no content in this link. Does this product actual exist yet or is this just fishing for interest?

Maybe if you provided an invitation code we could discuss the product.
