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?

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.

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.

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