quant trader.
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, backtest the ones you are interested in, and decide which to run and at what size.
If you're based in the U.S., step 3 is different: you subscribe to our copy trading service and the trades are copied into your own account. Both routes explained here.
Getting from licence to having every algo in your platform usually takes a few hours. How long you spend testing before you commit anything is up to you. 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 copy trading route. Once you're subscribed and your sizing is set, the copying runs without your computer being on.
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.
Reviewing them is your job though. I'd check in weekly or monthly to see how they are behaving, so a drawdown doesn't surprise you, and because deciding whether to keep an algo running is a decision only you make.
How many you use, and which, is your decision. The backtests for all 24 are in the licence so you can look at how they behave together before committing to anything.
On the copy trading route the three algos available there are multi-sleeve, carrying 22 strategies between them, so fewer systems still spread the risk.
ProRealTime™ automated execution isn't available in the U.S., so you subscribe to our copy trading service and the trades are copied into your own account. Three multi-sleeve algos run there, carrying 22 of our strategies between them. You set your position sizing and decide when to start and when to stop.
Nothing else about the license changes. You still get every algo to import and backtest in ProRealTime™, plus all 600+ indicators, trading edges, statistics and education material. We cover the copy trading 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. On that route you size against the suggested minimum capital figure our copy trading service publishes for each strategy, on the strategy's own page right next to its track record. Add it up for every strategy you plan to follow, and fund the account against that total.
What we can't do is look at your account and tell you whether it's enough. That call is yours.
$500 per system generally covers it.
With a trial licence you can import every algo into ProRealTime™, read exactly what each one does, and run it over its full history. You decide from that which ones are worth running in your own account, at what size, before paying 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 copy trading route, your copy trading 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.
One licence. Every algo.
The same bundle whichever license you take.
We’re experiencing 20× our usual signup volume. Rather than compromise on the onboarding material and support, we’ve temporarily paused new signups.
U.S. based traders can only run a subset of the 24 algos via copy trading.
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 the tools I built for my own trading, and the research they came out of.
It started with the algos. I wanted time away from the screens, so I wrote my rules down as code and let them run. That part is still here, 24 of them carrying 43 strategies. But most of what we ship now isn't an algo at all. It's the indicators I keep on my own charts, the market statistics the rules came from, the code templates, the strategy library and the two courses. You pick what you use.
That's the part I want to be clear about. None of this is a finished product you switch on and walk away from. It's input for the trading you already do. You run your own backtests, you decide what goes in your account, at what size, and when to stop. I can show you exactly how I do it, and then it's your call.
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.
There's a waitlist at the moment. The last months have been busier than I can onboard one at a time, so it's usually a couple of weeks. Drop your email below if you'd like a seat and I'll reach out when one opens.
