Stow Algo

A central trading hub I run, exploring both the systematic and discretionary sides of trading.

Overview

Systematic and discretionary trading are often treated as rival disciplines - each side dismissing the other as either unscientific or brittle. Stow Algo rejects that divide, exploring both simultaneously and holding each to its own rigorous standard, rather than treating one as the "real" way to trade and the other as inferior.

It started in early 2024 as a freelance service converting clients' trading strategies into automated execution bots - building the technical bridge between a trader's rules and reliable, hands-off execution - and has since grown into a fuller hub spanning both sides of trading.

What Stow Algo offers

Strategy Implementation

The original core service: translating clients' trading strategies into fully automated execution bots.

Education

Resources for traders looking to build understanding across both the discretionary and quantitative sides of the markets.

Research

Quant-focused analysis, including strategy breakdowns and backtesting.

Weekly FX Markets

A discretionary, manually-driven section tracking the foreign exchange markets week to week, pairing hands-on market reading with the site's more systematic research.

Together, these bring automation, research, and market commentary under one platform - spanning both the quantitative and discretionary sides of trading.
