From strategy signal to brokerage order.

Follow the documented flow from standardized target weights through MyAlgo to the broker.

Many slender rods converging through one precise aperture.

The useful starting point

The strategy sets standardized targets. Your execution environment translates them into account-specific order quantities.

A standardized target is published

Each documented strategy processes its input data according to a rule set and publishes target weights. Those targets express the exposures the strategy is seeking. Subscribers to the same strategy receive the same current signed target snapshot.

The target stream is not a personalized portfolio selection service inside the current product. You select the product and the capital allocation. The underlying securities, raw weights and signal timing come from the selected strategy rules.

MyAlgo reads your configuration

The execution software validates the strategy message and applies the fixed-capital or percentage-of-NAV allocation. It considers existing positions, open orders, prices, account values and broker capabilities, and nets overlapping securities across selected strategies.

These steps explain why a target weight is not itself an order. The same target may require different quantities in two accounts, or no additional order in an account that already holds the required exposure. Quantity increments and fractional-share support also matter.

Execution passes through constraints

The software applies timing, market-session and safety checks before submitting the resulting orders. Buying power, instrument availability and a latched risk stop can affect whether it proceeds. A valid subscription does not override those constraints.

The broker then processes the order. It may fill at a different price from a research assumption, reject an unsupported instruction or leave an order unfilled. A status message must be interpreted alongside the broker’s actual order and position records.

Monitoring is part of using automation

After activation, the software can operate unattended, without approval of each individual order. That does not make the system independent of market access, data, connectivity or the service environment. Review operational notices and investigate unexpected behaviour.

If execution is interrupted, the execution FAQs can help you identify the relevant status. For the full sequence, including review and deliberate activation, open How it works.
