Quartz is a professional-grade algorithmic trading platform. We provide battle-tested strategies, real-time signals, and automated execution against ES futures. Trade like an institution without building the infrastructure.
What This Is
Quartz is an automated trading platform for the S&P 500 derivatives market. We provide the strategies, the signals, and the execution. You bring the capital.
Strategies Included
Quantitative models built on order flow and price action. Our team develops and maintains the logic. You deploy it.
Paper or Live
Validate with simulated fills first. When ready, flip to live and let the bot execute against your IBKR account.
Why ES Futures?
We prioritize the CME E-mini S&P 500 (ES) for its high liquidity-to-volatility ratio and well-defined microstructure.
Institutional Liquidity
Massive resting depth at the touch enables large position sizing without immediate market impact.
Mean Reversion Properties
The ES order book exhibits predictable absorption and exhaustion behaviors suitable for statistical arbitrage.
Tick Fidelity
Unlike fragmented crypto venues, ES tick data is canonical, allowing for precise historical reconstruction.
How It Works
Three containers, one network. Market data comes in, signals go out, orders get filled.
Data Feed
Pulls CME tick data via Databento. Stores everything in a hypertable so you can replay any trading session.
Strategy Engine
Our algorithms run here. Receives market data via Redis pub/sub, emits order intents when conditions trigger.
Broker Link
Headless IB Gateway container. Handles auth, maintains session, executes orders against your paper or live account.
Data & Visualization
High-performance charting meets institutional data. See price action, volume profiles, and strategy signals in real-time.
TradingView-Quality Charts
Candlestick charts, order flow overlays, and strategy annotations. Everything you need to understand what the algorithms are seeing and why they are acting.
