FRCST builds a live Trading Operating System and a modular Signal Layer for systematic trading on its own capital. Independent sources of edge enter one governed environment for portfolio decisions, execution, protection, evidence and replay.
100% own capital · no third-party trading capital accepted · evidence-first by design
FRCST is not a single trading strategy. It is a proprietary technology company built around two distinct but mutually reinforcing propositions.
The durable operating asset: provider-agnostic orchestration, portfolio logic, risk, execution, protection, replay and evidence infrastructure.
The modular alpha asset: independent Signal Providers that apply their own market logic and produce complete, versioned candidates through a shared contract.
The provider-agnostic environment that turns model output into governed, reproducible portfolio decisions. The complete core stack is operational in production.
Portfolio, sizing, exposure, risk-budget and decision logic shared by live execution and replay — one truth, two runtimes.
Places orders, maintains venue-side protection, reconciles positions and supervises the complete lifecycle.
Reconstructs time-ordered production decisions and performs integrated single- and multi-provider replay.
Records independent, versioned market structure, momentum, volatility, liquidity and data-quality context.
Monitoring, health, dashboards and reporting for each run and every open position.
Versioned inputs, decisions and evidence — every outcome can be reconstructed with the exact software and market inputs active at the time.
The Signal Provider proposes a trade. The Trading Operating System decides whether the portfolio can afford it — and how it must be implemented.
Signal Providers create complete candidates from confirmed market data.
Inputs, provider runs and evaluations are scheduled and versioned.
TradingCore applies position, exposure, daily-risk and concurrency limits.
Orders and venue-side protective levels are placed.
Fills, context, changes and outcomes are continuously recorded.
The same decision chain is reconstructed offline for validation and improvement.
Every provider supplies complete, versioned candidates through a shared contract — providers never execute, and the Operating System stays unchanged as they evolve.
An earlier production-safe version has been trading real orders with limited test capital for approximately two months — proving end-to-end operational correctness across the full trade lifecycle. It is not presented as a mature performance sample.
The next provider and asset-class extension of the Signal Layer. Research and validation remain in progress; it is not yet presented as validated or production-ready.
Additional independent providers across FX, equities, indices and other global markets — complementary trading styles, all governed by the same Operating System.
Risk management is not an add-on to FRCST. The intended downside is defined before entry, and the Operating System controls how much new risk can be accepted across the portfolio.
No candidate can be accepted without a valid entry, protective stop, target or exit framework, and maximum holding period.
Position size is derived from the intended loss at the active stop — not from conviction or notional preference.
When the available daily risk budget is exhausted, no additional positions are admitted.
Gross, net, directional, symbol and concurrency limits prevent a single idea or cluster from dominating the portfolio.
Protective orders remain registered at the trading venue if the FRCST application becomes unavailable, subject to venue and market conditions.
Stops may be tightened under controlled rules but are never widened. Reconciliation and system health are verified throughout the lifecycle.
FRCST attributes results to the layer that created them. Results are shown only with a clear source, period, methodology and attribution — live, research and replay evidence are never combined under one “performance” label.
Not a standalone backtester: the Replay Engine reconstructs time-ordered candidates from one or more providers through the exact core logic used in production.
The core technology and first Signal Provider are beyond the concept stage — the roadmap below sets out how the platform expands from here.
Provider, Operating System and portfolio results — reported separately, with clear attribution.
Sustained platform development and quantitative validation on the proven core.
Advance FX and add providers across asset classes and complementary trading styles.
Increase sample and deployment gradually — only as evidence supports it.
Documentation, controls, governance and due-diligence readiness.
Partnerships and future proprietary, licensing or platform opportunities.
FRCST is built and run by a small, dedicated team. The core platform IP, Signal Layer contracts and evidence architecture are FRCST-owned.
Niels is the technical founder of FRCST and the architect of its production stack. With a background as an IT and cloud architect and principal consultant, he has spent much of his career designing and delivering complex, business-critical technology environments. An entrepreneur since 2007, he combines hands-on engineering, systems thinking and long-term product development. At FRCST, he applies that discipline to systematic trading: ideas are tested, versioned and validated before they are introduced into live operation.
Marcel leads the commercial strategy and corporate development of FRCST. He is responsible for how the company is positioned, how its technology and evidence are translated into a clear market proposition, and how relationships with investors, partners and other stakeholders are developed. He combines strategic direction with a pragmatic approach to capital structure, partnerships and long-term growth. At FRCST, he ensures that commercial ambition remains aligned with the platform's evidence-first discipline and that growth is pursued on a credible, sustainable foundation.
