About Camillo
Camillo Amato is one of the founders of AlgoBars, where he leads quant and strategy. He has spent more than twenty-five years in trading systems, including as a Vice President at Fidessa, the trading-systems company whose software was used by banks and brokers around the world.
That career sits on the institutional side of the market: the order handling, execution and market-data systems professional trading depends on. AlgoBars brings that standard to individual traders, academies and brokers.
As the founder responsible for quant and strategy, his area is the method behind the platform: how strategies are expressed, how they are tested, and how a trader can tell a robust strategy from one that only looks good on a single backtest.

What quant and strategy covers at AlgoBars
AlgoBarsX
A trading language you can read out loud: one script draws on the chart, backtests, sends alerts and places trades, so the strategy you test is exactly the strategy you run.
Backtesting without look-ahead
Each bar only sees the data available at that moment; orders fill on the next bar; costs follow each broker’s rules; the same strategy on the same data gives the same result every time.
Robustness testing
Walk-forward analysis and Monte Carlo simulation, to check whether a strategy holds up on data it was not tuned on and across thousands of possible orderings of its trades.
Strategies as explicit rules
Every strategy is a set of clear rules for entries, exits, stops and sizing, which is what makes it testable, reviewable and repeatable.
