Algorithmic trading strategies for all
Make the market work for you.
YouVest was started as a way to make our discretionary money — money we were willing to risk (and potentially lose) — work harder for us. We aimed to achieve greater returns while managing risk. Disappointed by the typical offerings of Wall Street, which often lacked substantial historical performance data and yielded mediocre returns while charging high fees, we leveraged our collective expertise in mathematics, computing, and finance. YouVest embodies this vision by providing a platform where regular investors can easily access advanced algorithmic strategies and signals.
Easy-To-Use
Simply subscribe to a strategy, and you're ready to start copying the signal trades — it’s as simple as that.
Minimal Trading
Frequent trading isn't necessary. We focus on optimizing longer term trading, and not on speculative picks or high-frequency trading.
Simple Pricing
Every strategy has a flat subscription with no hidden fees, management fees or expense ratios.
Live Performance
Putting our money where our mouth is.
We believe strongly in our strategies. So much so that with every new subscription, we allocate a percentage to live trade our strategies. We set a high bar for approving strategies because we trade them ourselves. This commitment to our subscribers acts as an essential check for us in developing new strategies, as our own money is on the line with each trade signal.

Frequently Asked Questions.
How do I receive trading signals?
Once you subscribe to a strategy on our platform, receiving trading signals is straightforward and user-friendly. Each time the chosen algorithm detects a market change, we promptly send you an email notification. This email will detail the specific action you should consider—be it buying or selling a particular asset—based on the algorithm's analysis. Please note, these stateategies are based on historical data and algorithmic predictions and do not guarantee future performance. You maintain full control over your trading decisions and can execute the recommended trades on the brokerage platform of your choice. Our goal is to provide timely, data-driven guidance to help you make informed decisions, but all trading involves significant risk and you can lose money.
How much does a strategy cost?
The cost of receiving our trading signals is based on a flat monthly rate, which varies depending on the strategy you choose to subscribe to. Unlike hedge funds, we do not charge any performance fees, and unlike traditional investment firms, there are no expense ratios. You simply pay the monthly subscription fee for access to our algorithm-generated signals. Any profits or losses that you incur from trading based on these signals are entirely your responsibility. Our pricing model is designed to be transparent and straightforward, but please remember that all trading carries risk and past performance is not indicative of future results.
What are the algorithmic sginals based on?
Our algorithmic trading strategies are developed using a combination of mathematics, physics, hidden Markov models, artificial intelligence, and trend analysis. These strategies aim to surpass a clear performance benchmark, but it's important to understand that they are based on historical data and predictive models, which do not guarantee future performance. We utilize advanced algorithms to analyze patterns and forecast market movements, with artificial intelligence and machine learning playing a critical role in refining these strategies. However, all trading involves significant risk and you can lose money.
What is your backtesting protocol?
A pivotal aspect of our methodology is rigorous backtesting. All backtesting data and processing is by a 3rd party, QuantConnect. We use QuantConnect to simulate the performance of each algorithm against historical data across various market conditions and time frames. Unlike typical hedge funds, we aim to provide extensive hypothetical performance data to help you understand how a signal might perform. We use sophisticated third-party software (QuantConnect) known for its advanced analytics and simulation capabilities to enhance the depth and accuracy of our testing. However, it is important to note that backtesting is based on historical data and does not guarantee future results. All trading involves significant risk and you can lose money.
Can I easily switch between strategies on the platform?
Absolutely! Our platform is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing you to take full control of your trading activities. If you find a strategy that aligns with your goals, you can subscribe to the strategy with just a click. Conversely, if an algorithm no longer meets your expectations or you wish to explore different approaches, you can unsubscribe from it just as quickly. Additionally, our platform supports subscriptions to multiple strategies, enabling you to combine various techniques. Please note that switching strategies frequently can increase transaction costs and the risk of losses. All trading involves significant risk and you can lose money.
What kind of support do I receive if I have questions about a strategy or signal?
We understand that navigating trading strategies and signals can sometimes be complex, which is why we offer comprehensive support to all our subscribers. Our dedicated support team is available to answer any questions you may have about interpreting a signal, implementing a signal or using our platform in general. Please note that while we provide technical and operational support, we do not provide personalized investment advice or trading guidance. All trading involves significant risk and you can lose money.
