Apex Trading Systems

A regime-aware algorithmic trading operating system.

ATS is a production-grade, owner-operated trading platform designed to trade correctly before it trades aggressively.

Rather than relying on a single fragile strategy, ATS functions as a governed execution engine that runs multiple strategies in parallel, determines which strategy is allowed to trade based on market regime, and enforces hard risk controls at every layer of execution.

ATS operates as the internal trading operating system within Orion Apex Capital.

ATS decides when not to trade as carefully as when to deploy capital.

What makes ATS different

Market-Aware (Regime Driven)

ATS detects market regime — TREND / MEAN-REVERT / FLAT — and only permits strategies designed for the active environment.

Trend systems don’t bleed in chop. Mean-reversion systems don’t fight momentum.

Risk First, Always

Risk is enforced below the strategy layer and cannot be bypassed:

  • Hard exposure caps
  • Cooldowns + hysteresis
  • Drawdown circuit breakers
  • Exchange reconciliation
  • Exits are never blocked — only entries

If a strategy misbehaves, ATS contains it automatically.

Multi-Strategy, Single Live Lane

ATS can run strategies in LIVE, PAPER, or SHADOW simultaneously, but only one strategy is ever allowed to touch capital at a time.

Promotion happens only after full lifecycle validation.

Observability by Default

Every decision is measurable:

  • Equity, exposure, HWM, drawdown
  • Fees and slippage
  • Regime gate blocks
  • Strategy-level P&L and round trips

No vibes. No guesswork. No silent failures.

Current state

This system is live.

  • Continuous live trading
  • Regime gate actively routing and blocking trades
  • Risk envelope fully enforced
  • Strategy promotion pipeline operational

This is not a backtest concept. It’s a running system.

One-line summary

ATS is not a trading bot. It is a disciplined trading operating system.
