SynthTrader
Build algorithmic trading strategies visually — like patching a modular synthesizer. Drag modules, connect cables, probe signals in real time. No code required.
Why SynthTrader
The modular synthesis paradigm — proven over 60 years of electronic music — maps to algorithmic trading with startling precision.
Drag modules from a palette. Connect them with color-coded cables by signal type. Your strategy's logic is visible at a glance — no code, no compilation, no waiting.
Click any cable to see the data flowing through it — as sparklines, numeric readouts, or gate timelines. The equivalent of an oscilloscope for your trading strategy.
Start with 3 modules for an SMA crossover. Scale to dozens for multi-timeframe, multi-indicator strategies with dynamic position sizing and risk management.
Signal Architecture
Every connection is color-coded. Every signal type has a defined range and purpose.
| Signal | Trading Concept | Range | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audio | Raw market data — price, volume, order book | Unbounded |
Price VCO, Depth Scope, VWAP |
| CV | Normalised indicators — RSI, z-score, conviction | [-1, 1] |
RSI Oscillator, Z-Score, Bollinger |
| Gate | Binary states — trend direction, position on/off | 0 or 1 |
Threshold Gate, Logic AND/OR |
| Trigger | Discrete events — crossovers, fills, breaches | Momentary |
Crossover Detector, Debounce |
| Clock | Timeframe and sampling rate | Regular pulse |
MTF Sampler, Kline Generator |
