About altoex
altoex is the company behind SynthTrader — the first visual algorithmic trading platform built on the modular synthesis paradigm.
Vision
Algorithmic trading generates over 60% of equity market volume and 50-60% of crypto volume, yet building an algorithm still requires deep programming expertise. The no-code revolution that transformed web development hasn't reached trading.
SynthTrader replaces code with cables. Borrowing the visual patching paradigm from 60 years of modular synthesis history, traders build, visualise, and deploy strategies by connecting modules on a canvas — no code required.
The $21B+ algorithmic trading market is growing at 12-15% CAGR. Crypto trading platforms represent $54B. The convergence of no-code tools, real-time data, and retail trading creates the perfect moment.
Intellectual Property
The modular synthesis approach to algorithmic trading strategy design is covered by a patent application filed February 2026. Key innovations include the signal type taxonomy, real-time probe system, and topological processing engine.
| Innovation | Description |
|---|---|
| Signal Type Taxonomy | Five distinct signal types (Audio, CV, Gate, Trigger, Clock) mapping synthesizer concepts to trading |
| Real-Time Probe System | Non-intrusive signal inspection at any point in the processing graph |
| Topological Engine | Kahn's algorithm for automatic dependency-ordered module processing |
| CV Modulation | Any module parameter dynamically controlled by any signal output |
| .synth File Format | Human-readable strategy serialisation with symbolic parameter labels |
Roadmap
Native desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux) via Tauri. Local strategy development with full offline capability.
Run strategies on altoex servers in data centres worldwide. Low latency co-location, 24/7 uptime, automatic failover.
Share and monetise strategies. Browse community-built modules and patches. Revenue sharing for creators.
Build your own modules in TypeScript or C#. Publish to the marketplace. Full access to the signal processing API.
