Tailored services

Technical work for serious market participants

InStat Research develops an efficient, effective plan around the specific coding, research, infrastructure, and workflow needs of each engagement.

01

Strategy consulting

InStat Research works with small private companies, family offices, and institutional clients to navigate financial-market complexity with confidence. The approach brings market knowledge, technical analysis, backtesting automation, and portfolio optimization into a tailored plan.

02

Software development

Custom development turns trading concepts into functional, testable, scalable systems. Work includes backtesting, optimization, and live strategy implementation using platforms such as AmiBroker and Python, along with robust optimization frameworks for market conditions and risk profiles.

03

Backtesting & optimization

Research is validated through historical testing, parameter analysis, and sensitivity studies so a strategy can be assessed before it becomes part of a live workflow.

04

Trade automation

InStat Research builds workflow automation that can update data and strategies, create trade lists, and support the implementation of trades for day-trading or end-of-day processes.

05

Cloud & infrastructure

Cloud services provide 24-hour access, weekly checks for data accuracy and file integrity, and remote access from anywhere. InStat Research sets up a scalable AWS virtual machine, maintains AmiBroker and related software, and supports system uptime and data accuracy.

06

Retainer support

Retainer clients receive an ongoing, prioritized relationship for consulting, development, research, troubleshooting, and implementation. Agreements can support multiple projects, evolving strategy needs, and access to secure AWS-based infrastructure.

InStat Code Development

From strategy evaluation to delivery

01

Evaluation

Define the strategy

InStat Research begins with an evaluation of the client's need and the strategy that will be used for the project.
