The Challenge
Alpha-Duo needed more than a standalone trading bot. The project called for infrastructure for real-time data processing, reproducible backtesting, and deployment across multiple exchanges with controlled latency.
The Solution
1D.works implemented a custom Nautilus Trader-based ecosystem. Key features included:
- Private Data Pipeline: Kept proprietary trading signals within defined storage and access boundaries.
- Event-Driven Backtesting: A modular engine that allows for rapid validation of new alpha signals before live deployment.
- Local-First AI Integration: Used smaller local models to analyse order-book depth and sentiment while reducing dependence on external APIs and keeping processing inside the defined environment.
Delivered Capabilities
- Research-to-Deployment Workflow: Provided a common environment for backtesting, reviewing, and deploying strategy code.
- Controlled Data Access: Applied project-defined boundaries to proprietary signals and execution logs.
- Operational Monitoring: Added the instrumentation needed to observe system health and execution behaviour during live operation.
