About A+ Algos

A+ Algos is a Swedish company that builds rule-based trading algorithms for ProRealTime and MetaTrader 5 and sells them as software licenses. A+ Algos is a brand of APMV Ventures AB (organisation number 559394-4647), based in Enebyberg outside Stockholm. Customers have bought licenses since January 2024.

Why do we publish our own results?

Most trading algorithms are sold with a backtest only. We run our own ProRealTime algos in our own live account and have published the result every month since December 2023, losing months included, on the live results page. The MetaTrader 5 algos run on two public Myfxbook accounts.

How do we build an algo?

Every algo trades one market on one timeframe with fixed rules for entry, exit, stop loss and size. Before release it has to pass tests with costs included, on data it was not tuned on, with Monte Carlo stress and with every trade counted 25 % worse. For A+ Algos 2.0 we tested 15,700 trading ideas and released the ten that passed. The method is described on What is an algo and backtest.

What do we not do?

  • We do not give investment advice and do not manage money. You run the algos on your own account.
  • We do not promise returns. Our live account has had a drawdown of −23.5 % (February to April 2024).
  • We do not use AI or machine learning in the trading decisions.

Trading CFDs involves high risk and you can lose money. Past results, live or backtested, do not predict future returns.

Questions before you start

How risky is algo trading?

All trading carries risk and CFD trading is high risk. You can lose part or all of the capital you put in. Our own live account has had a largest drop from its peak of −23.5% and a worst month of −13.9%. Give any algo at least six months before you judge it.

Are the results real?

The live results come from our own ProRealTime account and have been published every month since December 2023, after trading costs. Backtests are shown separately on each algo and are always marked as simulated.

Can I try before I buy?

Yes. Every algo comes with a 14-day free trial on a demo account. Email us which algo you want to test and we send it to you.

How much capital do I need?

It depends on the algo and the risk you choose. With IG you can start from about €600, but with a small account each losing trade becomes a large share of it. Every single algo page has a capital check that shows your risk per trade.

Does my computer need to be on?

Not with ProRealTime. The algo runs on the broker's servers and you can follow it in the IG app. Expert advisors for MetaTrader 5 need MetaTrader running, so most people use a VPS.

Do I get updates?

Yes. We review every algo continuously and you get new versions for free during your license period.

Why is the shortest license 6 months?

Because an algo has to be judged over many market conditions. A few weeks can look great or awful by chance.

Why do you sell algos you use yourselves?

The algos trade liquid index, gold and currency markets where our customers do not compete with each other. Selling them gives us a second income and you get algos we trust with our own money.

Can I cancel my purchase?

The algos are digital content delivered by email. The right of withdrawal ends once delivery has begun with your express consent and your acknowledgement that you thereby lose the right (Swedish Distance Contracts Act 2005:59, Chapter 2, Section 11, point 11). That is why we offer the free trial first.
