Managed research infrastructure for systematic firms
Pro gives you the engine. Firm gives you the platform: hosted market data, team licensing, and an engineering team on call. Built for systematic firms that need research infrastructure, not just a backtester.
Hosted market data
We hold the vendor licenses, you query the data. No FTP dumps, no CSV wrangling, no negotiating with three different sales teams. Data lands in Arrow IPC format, ready for the engine.
DatabentoCME, NASDAQ, OPRA, MBO, MBP, tick to daily
MassiveStocks, ETFs, futures, options, FX, full US coverage
US equities, options, futures, FX, full microstructure where vendors support it.
Pre-loaded into Arrow IPC. Same-day refresh on EOD datasets, intraday on streaming where licensed.
All vendor licenses held by Manifold-BT. Usage stays within your firm; no redistribution required on your end.
Compute at scale
Cloud computing built into Manifold-BT. Massive workloads (parameter sweeps, optimizations, Monte Carlo) run in the cloud, not on your laptop. Launch jobs from your office laptop, get the results back. No heavy compute infrastructure on your end.
Distributed sweeps
Hundreds of thousands of parameter combinations executed across managed compute. Auto-batched, memory-managed, and resilient to single-node failures.
Monte Carlo at scale
Bootstrap and permutation studies with millions of resamples in minutes. Tail risk and P(ruin) estimates with tight confidence intervals.
Walk-forward batches
Run walk-forward on every strategy you have, in parallel. Compare degradation curves and OOS robustness side-by-side instead of one strategy at a time.
Pay-as-you-run
Reserved or on-demand capacity. Pay for what you use; spin to zero between research sessions.
Team licensing
Centralized license management for your research team. Add or revoke seats without re-issuing keys, see who is using what, and keep audit trails for compliance.
Per-seat licenses
Issue, rotate, and revoke seats from a central admin panel. Each researcher gets their own key with audit trail.
Floating licenses
Pool of seats shared across the team, useful for firms with rotating researchers or part-time contributors.
Usage analytics
Track active researchers, compute usage, and dataset access. See which strategies and datasets are driving the most research.
SSO & audit
Optional SSO (Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD) with full audit logs of license activations, data access, and admin actions.
Support & custom integrations
Direct line to the engineering team. Custom data connectors, in-house indicators ported to Rust, on-prem deployment, built and maintained by us.
Direct engineering channel
A shared email thread with the engineering team. Bug reports, feature requests, and integration questions go directly to the people who built the engine.
Response SLAs
Same-day response on production issues, defined SLAs in your contract. Critical fixes prioritized over the public roadmap.
Custom data connectors
We build and maintain connectors for proprietary data sources, internal data lakes, or non-standard vendor formats.
Custom indicators & models
In-house signal logic ported to the Rust engine for full performance. Stays in lockstep with engine releases.
On-prem & VPC deployment
Deploy the platform in your own AWS/GCP/Azure VPC, or fully on-premise for firms with strict data residency requirements.
Onboarding & training
Engineer-led onboarding sessions for your research team. Get the most out of the engine on day one.
