We are software for traders.

TICPOZ exists to compress the loop between a trading idea and a live order — without watering down the rigour a quant team would expect.

Mission

Make discretionary trading optional, not mandatory.

Most retail traders aren't losing because they're bad at reading charts. They're losing because they're running an under-resourced version of a job that, on the institutional side, has separate teams for research, execution, risk and ops. We collapse those into one product — built by traders, powered by AI, audited by you.

What we are
  • A SaaS automation tool. Web software you log into in a browser. Subscription billing for access — that's the only transaction between us.
  • A workflow runner. You bring your own broker account and your own API keys. We execute your rules against your account; your funds never touch us.
  • A backtest sandbox. Replay historical price data through your rules so you know what they'd have done before you let them run on live capital.
What we are not: a broker, dealer, exchange, investment adviser, asset manager, fund, copy-trading service, signal service, or payment processor. We don't hold your money. We don't execute trades on our books. We sell software access; nothing more. Industry classification: US NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) / UK SIC 62012.

Principles

We build under six rules. They're unfashionably specific because they have to survive contact with edge cases — broker outages, news spikes, weekend gaps, a strategy that should not have fired.

Engine before pixels

Backtester and live executor share one spec. If the engine is wrong, the UI is a lie. Every visual feature is gated on engine truth.

Honest backtests

No survivorship-fitted equity curves. Spreads, slippage, weekend gaps, news lockouts — modelled, not waved away. We'd rather show a smaller number than a fictional one.

Self-describing strategies

Every strategy is a versioned JSON spec the user can audit, clone, edit, and explain. No black-boxes that "just work".

The trader holds the keys

Funds stay at your broker. Withdrawals go through your broker. We are software — never a custodian, broker-dealer, or fiduciary.

Risk first, return second

Daily DD, max DD, leverage caps, news kill-switches, and per-trade risk are enforced engine-side. The strategy can't override them.

Built for retail

The same tools institutional desks use — composer, replay, attribution, news ops — priced and shaped for an individual trader.

How we got here

2024
First spec

A NAS100 EA written by hand, backtested in a notebook, deployed to cTrader. The cycle took two weeks.

2025
Quant-AI v1

A natural-language pipeline that emitted strategy code. The cycle dropped to two days. We threw the code-gen away — too brittle.

2025
StrategySpec v2

We replaced code-gen with a declarative spec — Zod-typed, runtime-tolerant, shared by backtest and live. The cycle dropped to twenty minutes.

2026
Private beta

Onboarding traders weekly across cTrader, MT5, and prop-firm bridges. This is where you find us.

The people

TICPOZ is a small, deliberately senior team — engineers and ex-prop traders who've shipped trading software at retail brokers, prop firms, and high-frequency desks. We do not list founders or photos here. Funded performance, not branding, is what we ask traders to trust.

For investor or partnership enquiries, reach [email protected]. For support, the in-app chat is the fastest path.

Compliance posture

  • We are not a broker. Orders are routed through your existing brokerage account via their API. Funds, custody, KYC, AML and execution venues are entirely your broker's responsibility.
  • We are not an investment adviser. Strategies generated by the platform are tools, not recommendations. Past performance — whether on a backtest or a live run — does not guarantee future results.
  • We respect your data. See our Privacy Policy for what we collect, why, and how to delete it.
  • Trading involves risk. See our Terms for the full risk disclosure.
