Examples of Algorithm Development metrics and KPIs

Metrics for Trading Robot Accuracy

  • 1. Accuracy Rate

    The percentage of trades where the robot correctly predicts digit matches out of the total trades.

    What good looks like for this metric: Typical benchmark is around 70%

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Optimise the prediction algorithm using machine learning
    • Regularly backtest with historical data
    • Implement risk management strategies
    • Enhance data quality and integration
    • Continuously monitor and adjust strategy

  • 2. Trade Volume

    The total number of trades executed within a given period.

    What good looks like for this metric: Varies depending on strategy, typically 50-100 trades per day

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Increase trading frequency while maintaining accuracy
    • Automate signal identification
    • Optimise order execution speed
    • Simplify decision-making processes
    • Utilise high-performance computing resources

  • 3. Return on Investment (ROI)

    The percentage of profit or loss relative to the initial investment in trading.

    What good looks like for this metric: Typical ROI for trading strategies can range from 10% to 20% annually

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Improve decision-making algorithms
    • Implement a stop-loss strategy
    • Reduce transaction costs
    • Identify and capitalise on market inefficiencies
    • Diversify trading instruments

  • 4. Win Rate

    The ratio of successful trades to total trades executed.

    What good looks like for this metric: Aim for a win rate above 60%

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Refine predictive models
    • Use technical indicators more effectively
    • Conduct post-trade analysis for insights
    • Tweak trade entry and exit points
    • Test alternative strategies and algorithms

  • 5. Max Drawdown

    The maximum percentage loss from the peak to the trough during a trading period.

    What good looks like for this metric: Aim for a max drawdown under 20%

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Implement stringent risk control measures
    • Regularly update risk-reward ratios
    • Incorporate stop-loss and take-profit levels
    • Reduce position sizes during volatile periods
    • Enhance market condition analysis

Tracking your Algorithm Development metrics

Having a plan is one thing, sticking to it is another.

Don't fall into the set-and-forget trap. It is important to adopt a weekly check-in process to keep your strategy agile – otherwise this is nothing more than a reporting exercise.

A tool like Tability can also help you by combining AI and goal-setting to keep you on track.
