The core service is full strategy lifecycle management: define, test, deploy, monitor, adjust.
Bureau & Sons connects to your broker via a certified FIX or REST API integration, receives the signal produced by your strategy logic, validates it against your pre-set risk parameters, and routes a compliant order to the exchange — typically within 200 to 800 milliseconds of signal generation, depending on instrument and broker latency. The delivered artefacts at onboarding include: a configured integration environment linking your broker account to the Bureau & Sons engine, a sandbox instance preloaded with twelve months of historical data for immediate backtesting, a personalised risk-parameter worksheet completed during a one-hour onboarding call, and access to the monitoring dashboard from day one. Ongoing service includes daily strategy health checks, monthly engine updates, and documented incident reports whenever a circuit-breaker fires.
Five Service Areas, One Integrated Platform
Each area maps to a concrete deliverable — not a vague feature category.
Strategy Automation
Your strategy rules — expressed as condition-action pairs — are encoded in the Bureau & Sons rule engine. The engine handles multi-leg orders, time-based scheduling, and instrument-specific tick filters. A plain-language summary of each live strategy is always visible in the dashboard, so you can verify the logic is running as intended.
Backtesting & Simulation
Run unlimited historical simulations against tick-level data for Romanian and EU-listed instruments. Each completed backtest generates a PDF and CSV report covering equity curve, maximum drawdown, win rate, average hold time, and per-period P&L attribution — giving your team a structured record for internal review.
Risk Controls
Configurable hard stops enforce daily loss limits, maximum open position counts, instrument-level notional caps, and time-of-day trading windows. All risk events — near-misses included — are written to a timestamped log accessible via the dashboard and exportable as CSV for compliance teams.
Broker Integration
Bureau & Sons currently supports nine broker connections across EU regulated venues. Integration is completed during onboarding and tested in sandbox before going live. Clients are notified of any broker-side API changes within 24 hours, and our team issues a patch within five business days.
Monitoring Dashboard
The indigo-tech monitoring interface aggregates position data, order history, risk-event notifications, and engine health metrics into a single view. Mobile-optimised layouts allow oversight from a phone when away from a workstation. Alerts are delivered via email and optional webhook to Slack or Teams.
What the Platform Does Not Cover
Transparency about service limits is as important as describing what we offer.
Bureau & Sons is a software tool, not a financial service provider. The platform does not generate trading signals, provide investment recommendations, or manage your capital. Strategy performance depends entirely on the quality of the rules you define — the engine executes them faithfully, but it cannot compensate for a strategy that lacks a statistical edge. Broker connectivity is subject to the uptime guarantees of the connected venue; we publish live status at status.lumentstone.info. Certain instruments, particularly those on non-EU venues, may not be available for integration without additional compliance review. If you are uncertain whether your strategy design is suitable for automation, we recommend consulting a qualified financial adviser before onboarding.
“The broker integration for Interactive Brokers took exactly three business days to configure and pass sandbox testing. What I did not expect was the risk-event log: on the fourth live day, the circuit breaker caught an oversized position triggered by a data feed spike. The log showed the event; the trade was never sent. That alone justified the subscription.”
