Please describe your company and your position there.

Financial Cybernetics & Research. I am the President of the company.

For what projects/services did your company hire ScaleupAlly, and what were your goals?

We partnered with ScaleupAlly to help develop a Machine Learning system that analyzes U.S. Futures markets. Our main goal was to develop a system that could analyze financial securities, and predict future market trends.

How did you select ScaleupAlly and what were the deciding factors?

We found them through a referral, and considered them along with 15 other companies. This was a tough project.. we needed a group that was experienced and willing to work around the clock to complete it. Also- Good communication was necessary and everyone at ScaleupAlly continues to exceed our expectations.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

They developed a Machine Learning algorithm that can analyze US Futures markets, and predict upcoming market trends. The goal was to create a system that will monitor stock charts using a popular charting application (Ninjatrader 8), Study current & past market conditions, and learn and adapt without following explicit instructions. Once the system has complied this data, it would predict upcoming market trends so that the user can trade contracts on various US Futures markets based on the predictions displayed by the system.

I've worked directly with 5 key people from ScaleupAlly including the CEO(s) & software developers.

The results are astonishing.. I can't speak highly enough of the quality of work that ScaleupAlly provided to our company. When we set out to create this system, our target accuracy was around 65%-75%. Over the last few months, are prediction accuracy has steadily been 80%-90%.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

We've worked with many developers in the past, and ScaleupAlly is by far the most professional, and well-organized company we have ever worked with.
