BYOB (Bring Your Own Broker)
A platform model where automation connects to the user's existing brokerage account rather than custodying funds: the platform sends orders and reads fills with trade-and-read permissions; cash and shares never leave the user's name. It separates two trusts — trusting software to trade versus trusting a company to hold your money.

Backtests are hypothetical, computed by DeployQuant's engine on minute-resolution consolidated US market data (2021-01-04 to 2026-07-17, $10,000 starting capital, no margin, fees and slippage not modeled) and do not guarantee future results. Nothing on this page is investment advice. Live trading involves risk of loss.
