How it works

Your decisions.A system to follow through.

SquaredQ is subscription software for algorithmic trading in your own brokerage account. Choose a strategy, review its research and costs, then connect and deliberately activate execution.

From curious to configured

A considered start.
One step at a time.

Each stage has a clear purpose. Exploring a strategy is separate from activating it.

Explore the research

Read strategy descriptions and factsheets. Compare the approach, assets, assumptions and risks before choosing a product.

Open Data Room

Build your understanding

Use Portfolio Studio to explore hypothetical combinations, benchmark comparisons and allocation choices.

Open Portfolio Studio

Configure MyAlgo

Connect a supported broker, set live allocations and choose the account-level risk action. Review everything before activation.

Your brokerage account

Your assets stay
with your broker.

The software sends orders to your selected broker. Your broker holds the account, handles funding and withdrawals, and applies its own permissions and trading rules.

A software subscription is separate from money you choose to hold or trade at the broker.

Behind each order

A connected process.

Standardized strategy targets become account-specific orders through your chosen configuration.

Strategy targets

The selected strategy publishes its current target weights.

Your configuration

MyAlgo applies allocations, current holdings and account constraints.

Broker execution

Eligible orders are sent to the connected broker.

Your oversight

Review account state, notices and the controls available to you.

Questions, answered

A few things worth knowing.

Can I explore before connecting a broker?

Yes. Create an account to explore the strategy catalogue, factsheets and Portfolio Studio. Connecting a broker and activating execution are separate steps. Reviewing research or running a simulation does not place a trade.

Do I need to keep my computer switched on?

The execution software runs in your dedicated MyAlgo cloud environment. You do not need to keep a personal computer running for that software to operate. Broker sessions, market availability, network connectivity and the service environment still need to function.

When does trading begin?

Buying a subscription alone does not activate trading. You must connect and validate a broker, select purchased strategies, configure allocations and Risk Management, review the complete setup and affirmatively confirm activation.

Do I approve each individual trade?

No. After you activate a configuration, the software can operate unattended and send orders according to the strategy targets and your settings. You should understand this automated execution model before activating.

Can I lose money?

Yes. Trading involves risk, including loss of principal. Algorithmic execution, diversified strategies, historical results and risk controls do not remove market risk or guarantee an outcome. Margin and leverage can increase losses and financing costs.
