    Why Execution Still Eats Strategy for Breakfast (A Real-World Test with Lime Trading) If you’re still letting your broker decide how your orders get routed, you’re leaving serious money on the table. One of our traders ran a live A/B test using two Lime Trading accounts: 👉 Lime Trader (zero commission) 👉 Lime Direct (DMA with pass-through fees) Same strategy. Same stocks. Wildly different outcomes. Here’s what we found: 📊 Spoiler: A lot more than you think. For slow, low-turnover strategies? Almost no difference. For high-turnover setups? The wrong routing cost over 9% in annual returns. At 1,000 trades? That slippage adds up to 40%+ performance drag. At 5,000? Say goodbye to your alpha. What we learned: Execution isn’t backend. It’s alpha. Don’t let slippage be the reason your backtest never makes it to live. 👇 Full breakdown inside - numbers, charts, and the strategy setup you can test for yourself.

    I wanted to share some feedback from one of the traders of Limex 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 who opened two brokerage accounts at Lime Trading - one with the Lime 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 (Zero Commission) plan and the other with Lime 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 (Tiered Direct-Market-Access Pass-Through Pricing). I think both beginners and more experienced quants will find it useful to see how much your choice of pricing plan and order routing can actually impact your net returns. It really depends on which US market assets you trade, how often you trade, and how long you typically hold your positions. If you’re not up for a deep dive, here are the main takeaways (which might seem obvious, but are worth highlighting):   • The 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 you trade and the 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱 the stock, the 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 there is between the plans.   • For strategies where turnover is 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝘆, the right order routing can 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟵% per year. (And for HFT, the impact is 10 to 100 times greater!)   • Latency really 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀! (see additional charts in the 1st comment below) Read on for a more detailed breakdown - I hope it helps you avoid common pitfalls and get the most out of your trading!

  • We’re building something new — and we want to make sure it speaks directly to you! To help us tailor the next phase of the Limex, we’d love to better understand who’s in our community. If none of the listed options reflect your current status, feel free to share your own in the comments below — we’d love to hear from you.

  • Quantitative trading is one of the most competitive fields in finance - top firms hire only the best of the best. But this intense hiring standard means that even strong technical skills and a degree from a top university don’t always guarantee a job. That’s exactly why we created the Limex Trading Challenge - to help talented professionals break into the industry. Top performers may be considered for employment opportunities with hedge funds, trading firms, and leading quant teams, as well as receive invitations to join Limex’s internal research pipelines. They may also gain access to real trading capital, mentorship, and public recognition via leaderboards. We also help every participant strengthen their professional profile with: ✅ A verified certificate of participation ✅ A real, high-quality case for your portfolio ✅ Practical trading experience based on real-world scenarios Whether you're building a quant career or looking for your first break - this challenge can set you apart. 👉 Apply and explore more: https://lnkd.in/ePurUAZ7

  • Managing your stock portfolio shouldn’t feel like a second job. Most investors are either chasing headlines or stuck in analysis paralysis. That’s not how you build wealth. Alpha Builder changes that. It’s not another chatbot - this is machine learning doing what it does best: analyzing, ranking, rebalancing. Weekly. Automatically. 📊 Our in-house Big 10 Alpha strategy is beating the S&P 500 by ~14% YoY - 28.24% return vs 14.79%. ✅ No code. No guesswork. Just results. If you’re managing serious money - whether it’s your own or someone else’s - why not put real AI to work? 👉 See how it works: https://lnkd.in/e5eXYnZE #InvestmentTools #QuantThinking #AlphaBuilder #Backtesting #PortfolioDesign #StrategyFirst #FintechForProfessionals #AssetManagement #WealthTech

    True leadership and innovation don't come from competition or pride, but from relationship, unity, and small meaningful actions. Recently, our Managing Director, Daria V., had the honor of speaking at the AI FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES FORUM at the United Nations Office in Vienna, where she shared the vision and values of Limex: instead of guarding power or chasing dominance, we believe in building through collaboration, empathy, and openness - even in the unseen, everyday decisions. At our company, this belief shapes how we work - and now, we're excited to launch two new initiatives that reflect this vision, which we want to spread around the world: 🟢  Limex Lab - a space where we’re building an elite environment that values ambition, collaboration, and positive impact.

    A Kingdom Divided Cannot Stand. What if the way we’ve been taught to lead: whether in business, politics, or even life, isn’t the whole story? What if real strength doesn’t come from competition, from guarding power, or from building higher walls… but from something quieter and far more lasting? This isn’t a call to tear down the past or to rebel, because even that, in the end, can be just ego in disguise. It’s my invitation to you. To pause. And to ask: What could we build if we led not from rivalry, but from relationship? Not from pride, but from unity? Since leaving United Nations Office in Vienna, this question has stayed with me. At the AI FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES FORUM we saw a glimpse of what’s possible. Brilliant minds stepping out of silos. Reaching across borders and disciplines. Daring to imagine a future we won't be ashamed to build for the generations to come. It was a first step. And a powerful one. But let’s be honest: it’s easy to talk the talk. The real work? It starts in the small, unseen moments and micro steps: - Choosing patience with your team when criticism would be easier. - Creating space at your table for voices that are often overlooked. - Or simply holding a door open for a stranger when you’re running late. It’s easy to talk about greatness. But how about starting inside your own house, your community, your workplace? To me, leadership isn’t about the fanciest title or the largest following. It’s about who’s willing to get their hands dirty. Who shows up, not in perfection, to take those quiet steps that heal division. At Limex, we created Limex Lab: https://limex.com/lab/ for this very reason. Here, we’re making small but meaningful impacts in fintech. In the past month, we’ve already seen beautiful projects take shape. Former competitors choosing partnership over pride. Innovators bringing their unique strengths to a shared table. Because the future doesn’t belong to those who build the highest walls. It belongs to those brave enough to build longer tables. To all my dear colleagues from AI FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES FORUM, Tianze, Velynne, Bernardo Cartoni, Andrea A. Jacobs, Ireen, Billy Batware, Sara, Laurent, Susana, Bejan, Yan, Dr Wendy, Alice, Luisa, Mojisola, Diego, Partha, Ukë, Sally, Wiktoria, Raquel, Lee, Isabella, Zhen, Sabrina, Ashey, Marco, Hesti, Paula, Heather, Yashika, Ioana, Sarrah, partners and to all the incredible people I met — thank you for your kindness, your brilliance, and for reminding me what’s possible when we show up with open hands and open hearts. Your vision and courage reminded me that real change will never come from isolation or division. It will come from us choosing, again and again, to lay down pride and work as one. The next step is harder, but it’s also more beautiful. So here’s my challenge for you: What door will you open for someone who’s always found it locked?

Consider the following strategies as you embark on this journey: • Test your strategies with minimal risk – it’s far more beneficial to learn from smaller missteps than to face substantial losses • Avoid overconfidence in early successes – ensure you understand whether your positive results are the outcome of sound strategies or simply a fortunate streak • Implement risk management protocols (market, liquidity, operational) to prevent unforeseen setbacks • Evaluate operational and regulatory conditions from the outset – including margin requirements, brokerage fees, reporting obligations, and trading restrictions The Limex Trading Challenge offers a risk-free environment where you can refine your strategies without the pressure of live trading. Our paper trading platform simulates real market conditions with real-time data, realistic fills, and institutional-grade infrastructure, ensuring that when you transition to live trading, the experience will be seamless: - PDT rule - Realistic regulatory conditions - Exchange fees - Transferred leaderboard - Real-time market data from our partners By participating in the challenge, you will gain the necessary experience to trade confidently and competently in live markets.
