The Beginnings
Welcome to my exploration of the fascinating world of algorithmic trading. As a trader, the complexities of the financial markets have always intrigued me. However, it was the discovery of algorithmic trading that truly unveiled the elegance and precision of this domain. This trading approach, which employs intricate algorithms for swift decision-making, revealed a realm of opportunities I had never imagined. It felt like deciphering a secret language, one that could demystify the enigmas of the market.
Despite my keen interest in software development and an academic background in engineering, I found myself dissatisfied with the applications available for automated trading algorithms. If you’re reading this article, you’re likely already aware of the countless scams and fraudulent schemes that misuse the term ‘automated trading’ to attract attention. These so-called trading bots and other grandiose promises of ‘Get rich – Very fast’ often lack any substantial value behind their claims.
A New Idea Was Born
As an honest individual and a trained engineer, it was disheartening to see that the private market for algorithmic trading was dominated by unscrupulous entities. There’s no doubt that automated trading works, but it’s unrealistic to expect consistent performance above 8-15%. If it weren’t effective, it wouldn’t have emerged in the 90s, nor would major investment banks and firms invest millions in trading software. It’s a well-known fact that automated trading dominates global markets, accounting for nearly 86% of all trades.
However, why doesn’t this 86% reflect the average search results when looking for automated trading systems?
After investing nearly every spare minute of the past 8 years and more than 15,000 hours of work, FEA Trading is finally ready to launch. To maintain independence, it was crucial to avoid being swayed by unfavorable opportunities or investors trying to claim my idea as their next big thing. As a result, the software found on this website is available to everyone, regardless of budget or the amount they’re willing to dedicate to trading.This is precisely why most trading systems available on the internet are scams. If an investor invests in a professionally developed trading system, the system itself must generate enough profit to ensure an adequate return on investment. This means that such software usually comes at a high price, which individuals cannot afford. This implies that only players with sufficient funds can participate in using sophisticated trading algorithms, simply because they can afford it.
The average person is excluded from this game. Driven by this unfair inequality, which is a stark reflection of the world of modern investing and economics, I wanted to make a change. However, 15,000 hours of work is a significant investment in terms of time. While FEA Trading is not a non-profit organization, it’s also not interested in exploiting people.
I was constantly searching for a way to make all products as affordable as possible. Initially, the entire project used the domain www.free-expert-advisor.com. This German-speaking website is still active and welcomes visitors from German-speaking countries. However, www.free-expert-advisor.com is considered the minimum viable product (MVP). It fulfilled this purpose surprisingly well. By collecting feedback from traders over a period of 5 years, I was able to perfectly combine the needs of private individuals with the opportunities of algorithms usually used only by professionals.
I would like to extend a special thank you to a former Baader Bank investment banker who gave me insights into professional banking software.
The culmination of all this work is a substantial code base with over 500,000 lines of code, entirely dedicated to the automation of trading. Everything has been implemented based on modern software standards and adheres strictly to all rules for successful trading at the highest standards. After establishing FEATrading OÜ and devising a sophisticated marketing strategy, I am finally able to introduce professional trading software that is accessible to everyone!
