DLPAL software solutions have evolved from the first application developed 18 years ago for automatically identifying strategies in historical data that fulfill user-defined risk and reward parameters and also generating code for a variety of backtesting platforms.

DLPAL S discovers automatically systematic trading strategies in any timeframe based on parameter-less price action anomalies. Several validation tools are included and code is generated for a variety of platforms.

DLPAL DQ is an end-of-day scanner for discretionary traders. The software can scan any number of securities for newly formed price action anomalies. Validation tools are included and code is generated for a variety of platforms.

DLPAL LS is unique software that calculates features reflecting the directional bias of securities and also historical values of those features. The software is used by hedge funds for the development of directional and long/short trading strategies based on fixed algos or machine learning using generated train and score files. The results of this software cannot be replicated easily by competition.
