About Traadence
A desk that ships.
Built for traders,
run a little differently.
Most trading-tech shops hand you a backtest and disappear. We treat algorithmic trading as an operating discipline: research it carefully, risk-manage it hard, and keep it alive long after launch day.

How we work
Three pillars carry the whole approach.
A trading company should make a promise. Ours is simple: ship systems that survive the open.
t
trademarkets
signals, execution, live accounts
Every system starts with a real market problem: entries, exits, and fills that survive slippage, not a slide deck of theory.
r
riskdiscipline
sizing, drawdown, kill-switches
A strategy without hard limits is a liability. We ship position sizing, exposure caps, and halt logic before anything goes live.
b
buildengineering
MT5, APIs, monitoring
We ship production bots and expert advisors that are monitored, versioned, and maintainable, not one-off scripts that break on the next broker update.
trade + risk + build: research it, control it, ship it live.
Where it started
One discretionary routine too many.
Traadence began with a trading desk that refused to scale. Every session, two founders watched capable traders burn their best hours on manual entries, late exits, and risk checks a machine should have enforced hours ago.
So we built one bot. Then ten. Then a library of expert advisors and custom engines. The point was never to replace traders. It was to give them back the discipline and speed the markets demand. What started as a favor for one desk became an operating practice for hundreds.
“
We never wanted to be a signal vendor. We wanted to be the team that hands your edge back, executed, risked, and monitored.

Two founders, one stubborn desk
Our mission
Give every serious trader a
full algo engineering desk on call,
without hiring one.
Every decision we make is measured against it: does this hand someone their edge back, in live markets, with risk under control? If not, it doesn't ship.
What we value
Lived, not listed.
Anyone can put words on a wall. Each of ours comes with the receipt: the thing we actually do because we believe it.
No. 01
Ship the unglamorous
Real algo trading is plumbing: reconnect logic, partial fills, the edge case at 2am. We do the boring part properly so the strategy actually holds.
How we live itEvery build ships with error retries, alerting, and a runbook.
No. 02
Humans hold the keys
Bots should add speed, never remove judgment. High-risk actions and limit breaches pause for a person before they escalate.
How we live itApproval gates and kill-switches by default on live risk events.
No. 03
Show the work
No black boxes, no surprise invoices. You see exactly what is in scope, what shipped this week, and what we chose to defer.
How we live itSigned scope doc up front, milestone updates every week.
No. 04
Outlast the backtest
A curve that looks good once is easy. We care about the system that still works in month six, when spreads widen and an API quietly changes.
How we live itMonitoring dashboard plus 30-day post-launch support, standard.
The path so far
Milestones that shaped us.
2021
The first bot

2023
The strategy library
Reusable signal and risk modules become a living toolkit. Every project makes the next one faster.
2024
Systems at scale
Trading systems delivered to traders and growing desks.
2025
Algos in production
Custom engines graduate from paper pilots to dependable, monitored live workloads.
The people behind the work
Real engineers. Named, not benched.
The people who scope your build are the people who ship it. No anonymous handoffs. You know exactly who is on your project.

Why we're not like the other shops
Every other shop on the internet sells you the backtest. We sell you the day after go-live.
Anonymous bench→One named team
You meet your engineers
The people who scope your bot are the ones who ship it. No mystery contractors, no handoff to whoever is free.
Black box→Open scope
No magic, no jargon
We show the architecture, the tradeoffs, and the cost before you commit. You sign off on the stack, not a surprise.
Hand off & vanish→Stay on call
We're there day two
Most shops disappear at launch. We ship monitoring and stay for the month after, when real-market edge cases show up.
Why this should matter to you
The edge your desk loses to manual work
isn't coming back on its own.
We've given thousands of those hours, and cleaner fills, back to traders who thought "that's just how it works." If any part of your week still runs on discretionary busywork, that's the part we'd love to systematize.
