Most important projects

  • 2005/11 - 2006/03 U.S. stocks trading system using Interactive Brokers API

This was my first full automated trading system. The system col- lected quotes of about 350 AMEX and NYSE listed stocks. Based on a mean-reversion algorithm and a rather simple money manag- ment the system generated about 50-100 orders a day, but due to a very conservative trading algorithm only 10% of these orders were executed. Most of the time the trading system operated unattended without any human interaction.

  • 2006/06 - 2006/09 U.S. stocks trading system using MAN Financials FIX Interface

and QuickFIX The trading system mentioned before has been adapted to execute its orders with MAN Financials using the FIX protocol.

  • 2006/08 - 2006/11 FX and futures trading system using Interactive Brokers API

This trading system was based on the first system’s source code, but traded foreign exchange spot and foreign exchange future markets.

  • 2006/12 - 2007/03 FX trading system using Currenex FIX Interface and QuickFIX

Another adaption of a trading system to the FIX protocol.

  • 2007/04 - 2007/11 Order-, portfolio-managment and reporting software (gap-analysis)

The goal of this pro ject was to calculate differences between client portfolios and a reference portfolio. Based on this differences and on the available liquidity of the involved accounts this resulted in a list of buy and sell orders. Further, the created application included a lot of summary and reporting features.
