How does it work?
Three steps to become an quant trader with fully hands-off automated execution. No discretionary input, no babysitting.
Outperform or don’t bother.
The average trader underperforms the S&P500, but there's another way: 24 algos, running 43 strategies* that outperform year after year.
The "Reinvest profits" line models a 5% quarterly compounding position size increase. “Average trader” reflects the loss rates brokers must publish under FCA rules: 51–82% of retail accounts lose money. *If based in the U.S. you will copy trade a subset of the 24 algos.

to trade less

Our algorithms trade automatically, with every decision based on 150 years of market data. Built for traders who'd rather compound wealth over decades than chase quick hits by the hour.

Stockholm-based serial entrepreneur and author. Running quantitative algos since 2015 — and bringing other traders along since 2019, now across 30+ countries and 6 continents.
“I built these algos to manage me and my family's money, and ran them for years before opening them up to anyone else. A decade later, we're a community of traders running them. All in the same boat, with the same drawdowns, run-ups, and returns. Your success is my success; your losses are mine too.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions members ask most. Have something else you want to know? Email Carl directly at carl@prorealalgos.com.
1) Get a license
2) Open a free trading account & install ProRealTime™ on your computer (🇪🇺 Europe → IG · 🌍 Outside Europe → Interactive Brokers)
3) Import the algos, decide how much you want to invest, and click Start.
If you're based in the U.S., step 3 is different: instead of running the algos yourself you subscribe to ProRealAlgos on Collective2™ and our trades are copied into your own account. Both routes explained here.
The whole thing usually takes a few hours from license purchase to algos running live. We send full step-by-step instructions once you've got the license.
The main thing you do need is enough capital in your IG or IBKR account to support the position sizes you've configured.
Same on the Collective2™ route. Once you're subscribed and your sizing is set, the copying runs on its own, whether or not your computer is on.
That said, having a rough understanding of how the algos work helps a lot when there's a drawdown (which there will be). We cover all of that in the onboarding material.
I'd still recommend checking in weekly or monthly just to see how the systems are behaving (and so you don't get surprised by a drawdown), but it doesn't need babysitting. That's kind of the whole point of automating it.
One algo might be in drawdown while another is making money. Running them together smooths out the equity curve.
On the Collective2™ route the three algos available there are multi-sleeve, carrying 22 strategies between them, so you get the same diversification from a smaller number of systems.
ProRealTime™ automated execution isn't available in the U.S., so instead of running the algos yourself, you subscribe to ProRealAlgos on Collective2™ and our trades are copied straight into your own account. Three multi-sleeve algos run there, carrying 22 of our strategies between them. Set your position sizing, click Start, and it is as hands off as the ProRealTime™ route.
Nothing else about the license changes. You still get every algo to import and backtest in ProRealTime™, plus all 200+ indicators, trading edges, statistics and education material. We cover the Collective2™ subscription.
Both routes explained here
But most members start with around $10,000. That's enough to run several algos at minimum sizing and actually see meaningful results. Anything less and the position sizes get so small the math stops being interesting.
The copy-trading route works differently, because those three systems are index futures that scale into position rather than CFDs at minimum size. Tell us your account size before you fund it and we will tell you whether it is enough.
$500 per system generally covers it.
We also publish a lot of the historic results publicly on the site and YouTube channel, so you can get a clear sense of what to expect before buying anything.
You can also follow along directly in ProRealTime™, where you'll see the algo's entries and exits plotted on the chart in real time.
If you're on the Collective2™ route, your Collective2™ dashboard shows the full trade history for the systems you follow.
Just keep in mind you need enough capital in the account to cover any open positions the algos are running. If you withdraw too much the broker will close positions to free up margin.
ProRealAlgos has no access to your account, you've got full autonomy there. We only provide the algorithms (that you decide how, when and if to run).
Both are large, fully regulated brokers with segregated client accounts, meaning your money is held separately from the broker's own funds. Even in the worst-case scenario where the broker went bust, your money is still yours.
One thing to note: stopping an algo doesn't close its open positions automatically. You can either let the algo close them naturally (recommended) or close them manually through your broker if you want out completely.
And once the algos are started they run on the ProRealTime™ cloud server anyway, so your computer doesn't actually need to stay on either way. There's no mobile version of ProRealTime™, but you can always monitor open trades through the IG or IBKR mobile apps.
We deliberately stick to highly liquid markets: low spreads, fast execution, no nasty surprises.
On the copy-trading route it is three markets: DAX, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures.
All updates are included for the duration of your license.
Are you ready to trade less to gain more?
Same bundle for every license, the only difference is license duration. U.S. based traders can only run a subset of the 24 algos via copy trading.
All spots are filled. Leave your email and we'll reach out as slots open.
If you've scrolled this far, you probably already know what kind of trading this is, and what it isn't. No Lamborghinis. No private jets. No trading gurus. Just 24 algorithms I built for myself and my family.
I built the algos because I wanted time away from the screens but it came with a side effect of bumping up the returns. The systems are mechanical and boring on purpose, so if you're looking for excitement — this isn't it. They don't beat the market every day, nor every month, they limit the bear market drawdowns and leverage the bull market runs, and over time — that compounds.
When you join, we walk through setup together. That's my whole offer to you. Same one I'd want if I were on your side of the screen.
Quick note since I wrote the above. The last few months have been busier than I can onboard one-at-a-time, so there's a waitlist for now. Usually a couple of weeks. Drop your email below if you'd like a seat and I'll reach out when one opens.
