What is Investfly?

Investfly is a comprehensive platform designed to analyze the market and automate your trading strategies. It provides a wide range of market research tools, including real-time stock prices, charting, news feed, stock screener, and stock alerts. Investfly supports various levels of automation, from simple standalone automated trade orders to complex trading strategies with entry and exit conditions. The best part is, you don't need any programming skills to define a trading strategy. Investfly allows you to express trading rules using simple mathematical formulas, similar to what you use in Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet applications. Investfly offers multiple ways to test and validate your trading ideas, whether it's through backtesting or deploying your strategy to a virtual portfolio. And if you're ready to take your trading to the next level, Investfly also supports trading real stocks by connecting to your broker account. The following diagram outlines the high-level steps we expect our users to go through when using Investfly.

Ideal Users

Investfly is an ideal platform for day traders and swing traders who typically operate within minute, hour, and day timeframes, leveraging both fundamental and technical indicators. If your trading approach involves constantly monitoring multiple price charts with various technical indicators across multiple screens, you may be compromising your physical, visual, and mental well-being. Investfly empowers you to automate standard trading strategies, such as trend following, breakout, and contrarian strategies based on indicators and chart patterns. This allows you to precisely define entry and exit points, leaving the execution to the system. However, Investfly is not optimized for high-frequency quant traders. While we plan to expand our capabilities in the future, Investfly currently does not support the deployment of complex quant strategies, such as those based on AI/ML. Additionally, our end-to-end system latency, from receiving a new price quote to submitting a trade order, can be up to 10 seconds. This latency makes Investfly unsuitable for high-frequency trading, and we do not anticipate supporting this type of trading in the future.

Academic Solution

Investfly also offers an academic solution for universities to enable their students get hands on trading experience by using our trading simulator that supports stocks, options and futures. The instructor dashboard allows the instructor to view all their students, track their activities and monitor their performance.
