QuantConnect Announces New Integration with Atreyu Group

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Open-source algorithmic trading pioneer QuantConnect announced a new integration with Atreyu Group Holdings. QuantConnect offers a lightning-fast engine—LEAN—for testing and deploying strategies; it also offers integrations with thousands of alternative data sources and other brokerages. Atreyu is a brokerage serving professional quants with low-latency, cost-effective services for U.S.-based markets.

QuantConnect cross-connects to Atreyu via FIX for the best possible speed and reliability. To use the QuantConnect - Atreyu integration, quants must meet the “professional trader” standard and must maintain a minimum credit balance.* These professional traders can easily access deep liquidity through Atreyu’s extensive routes to U.S. exchanges, dark pools, and ATS, with reduced slippage and low latency. Atreyu can further execute smart order routers and broker algorithms. Fees for routing through Atreyu are more favorable than those typically available to retail traders.

According to QuantConnect CEO Jared Broad, “This integration provides our community with greater access to institutional quality quantitative trading through our open and transparent platform. The enhanced stability, lower fees, and fast routing technology will be popular with our quants.”

There is no fee to connect to Atreyu through QuantConnect. Firm Trading Pack fees will apply on Atreyu; however, Atreyu will sponsor 30 Firm Trading Packs, a value of $280 per month. To receive the sponsorship, quants will need to open a new account and contact an Atreyu representative.

*Contact Atreyu for further definition of professional trader standards.
