Analyse strategies.
Automate systems.
Trade with discipline.

For nearly 10 years I have been building automated trading systems for MetaTrader 5, Interactive Brokers and ICM — together with my small team of quant developers and AI specialists. From the first idea through the backtest setup to a clean live deployment. Equities, futures, derivatives. Disciplined, documented, data-driven.

What I do

Three pillars. One goal.

Turning ideas from financial markets into robust, automated systems — and bringing them to a new level with AI. Personal responsibility, backed by an experienced team.

  • Live deployment & monitoring

Systematic Investing

AI as a real lever — for trading signals, market analysis and business processes. Consulting and implementation in partnership with Crowd Solution GmbH.

About me

Marcel Gautsche.

I'm Marcel Gautsche, a quant developer from Stuttgart, Germany. For nearly ten years I have been working on financial markets, strategy automation and — increasingly — the question of how AI can be a real lever rather than a marketing buzzword.

I write, build and test myself — a small specialised team supports me where I can't do everything alone. The strategies, the code reviews, the in-depth articles on this site: those are not ghostwritten texts and not someone else's backtests. That's my handwriting. For scaling, parallel mandates and special topics (AI infrastructure, regulatory questions, Mittelstand consulting) I have an experienced team of quant developers, AI specialists and consulting partners in the background. This combination — personal responsibility plus a real team — is what makes mandates serious.

Over the past years we've built trading systems for MetaTrader 5, Interactive Brokers and ICM — from discretionary trader setups to fully automated multi-strategy portfolios. In parallel I consult companies on implementing AI in operational processes, in cooperation with the Crowd Solution GmbH and its partner network.
