Trading Technologies (TT) just raised the bar for what’s possible in algorithmic trading — and it’s not just for hedge funds anymore.
This week, TT announced the broad launch of TT Strategy Studio, a multi-asset algorithmic trading solution designed for institutional firms, including top-tier quant shops, professional trading firms, and energy desks. But here’s why it matters for the prop world: it offers the kind of infrastructure and flexibility that forward-thinking prop firms have been dreaming of.
From Backtesting to Live Execution — Without Losing Your IP
At the core of TT Strategy Studio is a powerful framework that lets firms develop, test, and deploy complex multi-asset strategies — while keeping full control of their proprietary code.
“TT Strategy Studio is a powerful, commercial-grade offering that can save the largest, most sophisticated firms hundreds of developer hours,” said Joe Signorelli, EVP Managing Director at TT QTS.
“They can build alpha, backtest with full tick-level data, simulate live markets, and execute across global venues — all without compromising their intellectual property.”
The platform supports equities, options, futures, FX, and more — and connects to 70+ exchanges. It also supports historical data ingestion, backtest vs. simulation comparisons, and full strategy visualization.
Built for Performance — With Risk and Regulation in Mind
TT Strategy Studio is designed to fit inside an organization’s existing infrastructure, with optional hosting on TT’s ultra-low latency cloud. Firms can run risk/reward modeling, strategy iterations, and even integrate or build smart order routers (SOR).
More importantly, all trading strategies comply with exchange rules by default, thanks to TT’s pre-certification across global venues.
Why It Matters for Prop Firms
Not every prop firm will be ready to go full quant. But for those scaling up — or building internal algo desks — this platform is a game-changer.
Until now, most prop firms either relied on MT5 automations or custom internal builds (often limited, unstable, or expensive). TT Strategy Studio offers an enterprise-level framework — without giving up IP and without having to build everything from scratch.
It’s “Quant-as-a-Service” — with total control.
PropInsider Take:
The line between prop firm and hedge fund is getting thinner by the day. Platforms like TT Strategy Studio are accelerating that shift.
For firms serious about scaling into multi-asset, multi-venue quant execution, this isn’t just another tool — it’s an entry ticket to the next level of trading performance.
