Available under a structured licensing arrangement to qualified allocators
Stride 8 operates as a Software as a Service (SaaS), providing clients with access to an advanced algorithmic trading system.
Our pricing model is structured around software licensing, based on the capital designated by each client for use with the strategy.
• Licensing & Management Fee – A one-time percentage-based fee applied to the capital that the client allocates for use with Stride 8. This applies at the initial setup and to any additional capital designated for the strategy over time.
• Monthly Performance Monitoring Fee – A percentage-based fee calculated on the total capital actively utilizing the software, including both the originally designated amount and any accumulated gains.
Clients retain full control over their accounts and decide how much capital to allocate to the software at any time.
Stride 8 does not manage or hold client funds—it simply provides the technology to execute a data-driven, automated strategy.
