Custom Quant Strategies

Custom strategies. Built to your requirements. Tested against your benchmarks.

AIMADDS designs, codes and backtests trading and investment strategies around your objectives, markets, timeframes and risk constraints. Receive a documented strategy and evidence of how it performed under the agreed test conditions.

You make the investment decisions. Backtests are hypothetical; development targets are evaluation criteria, not promised returns or future risk limits.

From client requirements to a tested strategy

Agree the specification, build the strategy, evaluate the results and deliver the code and research needed to review the outcome.

Your requirements, written as rules

We agree the markets, instruments, timeframes, entry and exit rules, sizing, leverage, risk limits and evaluation criteria with you before development begins.

Data fit for the question

We assess data coverage, corporate actions, timestamps and delisted instruments where relevant. Data limitations and checks for look-ahead and survivorship bias are documented.

Realistic costs

Agreed assumptions for commissions, spreads, slippage and execution constraints are included in the backtest. Sensitivity analysis shows how estimated costs affect results.

Out-of-sample and walk-forward testing

We separate development and evaluation periods where data permits, document the variants tested and assess parameter stability. The validation plan is agreed in advance.

Stress and regime analysis

We compare the strategy with agreed benchmarks and examine drawdown, volatility, exposure, turnover and behavior across market regimes against your requirements.

Full documentation

The agreed handoff includes strategy code, parameters, data references, a backtest report and reproducibility instructions. Data delivery depends on source licensing.

Strategies built around your objectives

Factor and multi-factor

Value, quality, profitability, low volatility and custom factors

Momentum and trend

Cross-sectional and time-series momentum with confirmation rules

Thematic universes

Rules-based universes for a theme, ranked on fundamentals and momentum

Values-based screens

Faith-based, Sharia-compliant and ESG screens with documented methodology

Portfolio rotation and risk overlays

Ranking, rebalancing, position sizing, exposure caps and drawdown controls

Client-defined strategies

Your own rules, instrument universe and trading sessions, scoped to available data and the agreed platform

A concrete handoff for every engagement

Scope and formats are agreed before development. Results include weaknesses and failed tests, so you can decide whether a strategy merits further work.

Strategy specification and code

Documented signals, entry and exit rules, sizing, risk controls and configuration for the agreed research or execution platform.

Backtest and benchmark analysis

Performance, drawdown, trade statistics, exposure and cost assumptions, with out-of-sample or walk-forward results where the data supports them.

Professional research deliverables

A review dashboard, PDF or editable Word report, and Excel results workbook as agreed for the engagement. Include assumptions, methodology and limitations.

Validation and handoff plan

Reproduction instructions, acceptance criteria and, where in scope, a paper-trading plan to evaluate behavior before any live use.

Research you can defend

A backtest is only as useful as the scrutiny it survives. Every engagement is built so your investment committee, your allocators or your own skeptics can trace each result back to its data and code.

Your requirements guide development; code ownership and delivery are agreed in the engagement scope

No performance promises: results are research, labeled hypothetical, with assumptions stated

Your ideas and data stay in your engagement and are never used for other clients

Deterministic code does the math; AI assists research and never invents numbers
