AlgoTrader is a Java-based algorithmic trading platform that enables trading firms to rapidly develop, simulate, deploy and automate quantitative trading strategies.
The upcoming release 2.1, which will include an embedded-in-memory H2 database.
The H2 database reduces the duration of back-test runs by 30%-50% and allows multiple parallel simulations on the same machine –without needing to installing a physical database, such as MySql, Oracle or MS SQL.
This alone makes AlgoTrader-based simulations considerably easier and faster.
However, by combining AlgoTrader 2.1 with the Amazon Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) trading strategies can be configured to run many simulations in parallel, distributed across the Amazon EMR cluster.
You will be able to test your algorithmic trading strategies in minutes rather than weeks. You will be able to profit from emerging trading opportunities before anyone else.
Read my blog post for an example FX trading strategy utilizing AlgoTrader and Amazon EMR to reduce simulation time from 1 month to 1 hour.
Sincerely,
Andy Flury,
CEO & Lead Architect, AlgoTrader
