Your Portfolio Strategy Session is Scheduled!
On your session we'll go over our full algorithm suite performance, your specific capital level and allocation, and work with you to see if Vincere would make sense for your portfolio.
It's a working session where we build a clear picture of how algorithms could fit your capital, your goals, and your timeline.
Ask us any questions you have from your due diligence. We built this company on transparency and welcome scrutiny.
Please take some time from your day to view the due diligence materials below on this page before our session so you arrive already informed.
Before you close this page: Why invest in algorithms today?
At Vincere, integrity is everything to us.

Our dispute rate is zero. That's not a marketing claim. It's a verifiable record.
We show every losing month. Because the only way to earn real trust is to never hide what's real.
We show you our transparent team on our site. Real names. Real faces. Real backgrounds. The people who built the algorithms. The people who support the clients. The people trading the capital.
The standards we hold ourselves to exist because we know what it costs to trust someone in this space and be wrong. Nobody who works with Vincere will ever feel that way.
What makes Vincere Portfolios vastly different from the competition?

I run their full allocation model inside a six-figure cash account, using the diversified structure they mapped out for me across the 12 algos.
From a risk management perspective, the consistency has been strong.
We experienced a tougher stretch in early February, but that period was well within projected drawdown parameters.
What impressed me most was how quickly the team communicated system-wide updates and shared a clear roadmap for refinements.
It’s not static — they actively optimize and explain the reasoning behind adjustments.
I've been trading for 10+ years and recently have been looking into the automation game. Lots of bad actors out there with BS products. I am only a few days into my journey with Vincere and I can say with very little hesitation that this is the real deal.
From the initial meeting (which is incredibly data driven and laid back, not a typical sales meeting by any means) to the onboarding call, my experience so far has been everything I could have asked for and more.
I get the hesitation, this space is chock full of idiots who don't know how to trade and are looking to spin their failure into a BS trading course or discord signals. These guys are not that.
If you're on the fence, hop on that call and listen to the numbers, I'm glad I did.
Jon, Brian, the whole team at Vincere is great.
No high pressure sales, it was explained the benefits along with the risks.
Ask questions, do not go into it unprepared. There is risk, do not be fooled.
This team has your back and will walk ypu through it.
The key is capital preservation, patience, and consistency.
Thank you Vincere!
I was shopping around for the most reliable and consistently profitable Algo software company until I finally made the decision to join Vincere.
First, let's address the elephant in the room. The Algos/Bots from A FEW of these Algo companies actually work... There's just levels to it. But it also turns out these levels make up majority of the differences between a profitable Algo Trader and the one that either ends up losing it all or breaking even at best.
Just completed my onboarding and really, it's been so far so good. I've received lots of back-to-back, support from the Team (guys like my man Adam, and Jake).
If you have a few car-buying experiences, I guess you could picture my experience and the amount of confidence I have so far to one that you get from buying a brand new BMW from a BMW dealership rather than buying a used BMW from Facebook market or a "Buy-here-pay-here" used car lot.
They might be a little pricier (actually not as pricey as a few others I've come across that didn't even have nearly as much structure), but you get your money's worth.
If I could give 10 stars to Vincere I would. Came across their IG ad at 6AM on a Sunday morning, had a call by 2PM same day and pulled the trigger.
White glove onboarding, exceptional customer service. I waited a full 2 months to be able to give this review justice to 'stress test' and have 'proof of concept'. Today I have that and more.
Alex the founder is tireless in his efforts to be transparent as well as responsive to the changing market and business environments to keep Vincere on the front edge of success. I'm grateful to have found them.
Their support staff may as well be AI bots, as they never seem to sleep and go the extra mile with exceptional responsiveness and helpfulness. My interactions with them have been extraordinary and I'm not sure where they found them but ANY organization would be blessed to have Sam and James on their team. Kudos all around.

I've been trading futures personally for about nine years, mostly ES and NQ, and I'll say upfront that I came into Vincere as a skeptic. The algo space is full of curve-fit backtests that fall apart the second real money goes behind them.
I signed up in August 2025 after a lot of due diligence, and the reason I pulled the trigger was that Brian was willing to go deep into the methodology with me rather than hide behind marketing.
We talked parameter stability, how the trade windows are defined, why certain sessions get filtered out. It was a more technical conversation than most algo interviews I've sat through.
Live performance since August has tracked reasonably close to what I'd expect from the backtest envelope. Two down months, five up months, net solidly positive, and more importantly the drawdowns have stayed in line with historical behavior rather than surprising me to the downside.
That's what I actually care about as someone who has watched a lot of strategies die in live environments. If you can think about this in terms of expectancy and sample size rather than chasing every green candle, it's a serious operation.

Alex Cecola
Alex Cecola is the Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Vincere Trading. A systematic trader with over seven years of market experience, Mr. Cecola built Vincere after recognizing a critical gap in the algorithmic trading space: the absence of institutional-grade futures algorithms for individual investors backed by full performance transparency and verifiable data.
Prior to founding Vincere, Mr. Cecola invested extensively across discretionary and systematic trading algorithms and approaches, developing deep expertise in strategy evaluation, risk management, and performance analytics. Frustrated by the lack of rigor in retail-facing trading products, he partnered with a former hedge fund developer to engineer a proprietary suite of futures algorithms initially deployed across his personal and family accounts before expanding to a broader client base.
Under Mr. Cecola's leadership, Vincere has grown into a systematic trading technology company serving investors with institutional-caliber algorithmic strategies. His vision is to bridge the gap between retail and institutional trading infrastructure, giving individual traders access to the same systematic edge traditionally reserved for large funds.
Mr. Cecola is based in Chicago, Illinois.

As a trusted advisor, husband, father of seven, and grandfather of three, he understands the importance of building long-term financial security and creating opportunities for lasting wealth.
In addition to his background in financial consulting, Mr. Espiritu has personal experience trading the futures and options markets, giving him a practical understanding of both the opportunities and emotional challenges active traders face.

Throughout his career, Mr. Espiritu has worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate complex financial decisions with clarity and confidence. His passion for financial education grew from recognizing that many hardworking people are never taught how to build wealth efficiently or take advantage of the financial markets using disciplined, systematic strategies.
Mr. Espiritu was drawn to Vincere Portfolios because of its commitment to transparency, data-driven decision-making, and disciplined risk management. Rather than relying on emotion or speculation, Vincere's systematic approach to algorithmic trading aligns with his belief that successful investing should be built on proven processes, continuous improvement, and objective analysis.

Blake Wasser
Blake Wasser is a managing director at Vincere Portfolios, bringing more than 11 years of experience across futures markets education, trading strategy development, and algorithmic execution.
Mr. Wasser has spent over a decade educating traders in the futures markets, working directly with clients on strategy, risk management, and execution discipline. In that capacity he observed that retail trader underperformance stems less from a lack of opportunity than from emotional decision-making, revenge trading, inconsistency, and the absence of a clearly defined plan.
Over the past three years, Mr. Wasser has concentrated on algorithmic trading, testing and deploying systematic strategies across multiple markets and evaluating their performance under varying market conditions. His work centers on rule-based, automated execution as a means of removing emotion from the execution process — an algorithm does not trade reactively after a loss, and it does not adjust risk parameters on sentiment.
Mr. Wasser brings 11 years of experience in trader education and market strategy to Vincere Trading, where he contributes to algorithmic strategy development and client education, applying institutional-style systematic methods to individual traders and investors.
Mr. Wasser is based in Ponte Vendra Beach, Florida
Greg Burgess
Greg Burgess is a Managing Director at Vincere Portfolios, bringing experience across financial markets, business strategy, technology, and consultative advisory.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Burgess spent nearly three years at Kaseya, working directly with business owners and executives in a consultative account management role. He has also worked as an executive consultant, advising founders and business owners on growth, strategy, and operational efficiency. Across these roles, he developed a consultative approach centered on understanding a client’s objectives, identifying the factors affecting performance, and helping them evaluate decisions through both a strategic and economic lens.
His experience around active trading strengthened his interest in systematic and algorithmic approaches to the financial markets. Seeing how emotion, discipline, and inconsistency can influence discretionary decision-making gave him a strong appreciation for rules-based strategies built around predefined parameters, objective analysis, and repeatable processes.
Mr. Burgess was drawn to Vincere Portfolios because of the firm’s emphasis on transparency, disciplined risk management, and data-driven decision-making. Vincere’s willingness to present both favorable and challenging performance periods aligned with his belief that credibility in financial markets is built through consistency, accountability, and transparency over time.
Today, Mr. Burgess works with investors exploring systematic and algorithmic approaches to the financial markets, helping them understand the strategies, simplify complex concepts, and thoughtfully evaluate how this type of approach may fit within their broader goals, risk tolerance, and long-term objectives.
Outside of work, Mr. Burgess enjoys playing hockey, driving, and his passion for cars. He is also working on building out a collection of watches.
Mr. Burgess is based in Coral Gables, Florida.

Better than the rest: How Vincere stacks up
We’ve tested nearly every competitor’s algorithm, system, and strategy, and found them underwhelming, inconsistent, and statistically flawed. That’s why we built Vincere with a long-term vision: to become a algorithmic trading development firm you can rely on for years to come.
%201%20(2).svg)
.webp)

Many trading algorithm firms fall short where it matters most.
Most offer a single “best” strategy on one pair, with no clear way to scale across multiple algorithms.
When markets shift or a black swan event occurs, these systems struggle, leading to large losses, blown accounts and painful margin calls.
The Forex & Crypto Markets are largely unregulated, subject to broker and platform manipulation, and notoriously difficult to build consistent algorithmic edges on.
Individual stocks (APPL, NVDA, TSLA) carry event risk - one earnings miss, one lawsuit, one bad headline and your single-stock algorithm investment is destroyed overnight.
Most algorithms available to individual investors only show a few months of positive live performance and call it done.
What isn't shown is historical performance across multiple market cycles and drawdowns - the true test of long-term results.
Most algorithms operate on a fixed risk per trade. Your capital stays flat, returning the same amount each month.
Monthly performance may seem high, but if it can't compound, you are giving up on exponential returns.
The problem: so called "self-learning systems" drift when market conditions change. They optimize for patterns that no longer exist.
There's no edge in a black box nobody fully understands - including the companies selling it.
Performance often hinges on when you start, not the strength of the strategy.
Most competitors provide little to no data on how start dates impact outcomes, leaving traders confused when algorithms “suddenly” perform poorly after they start.
Relies on high-risk gambling tactics like Martingale (loss-chasing) or Grid (range-bound) systems that statistically fail long-term.
Many of them disappeared in 2020, 2022, 2023, and most recently, 2026.
Dangerously leveraged accounts provided by non-compliant offshore Forex brokers that often end in account blowups and broker insolvency.
As a rule of thumb, if a broker based in South America or the Cayman Islands offers a "too good to be true" leveraged account, the broker is betting on the algorithm to fail.
Most Trading Algorithm Companies are operated in Canada, Dubai, or the Cayman Islands, outside of strict U.S. regulations, allowing them to have uncompliant guarantees and false claims without repercussion.
A hidden founding team you can't verify, or worse, Actors and AI masgeurading for bad actors in this industry.
Almost universally, they use the same, single anonymous auditing firm with no face behind it.
More common than most people realize. Discretionary traders placing manual trades and broadcasting them to subscriber accounts.
These systems carry every emotional flaw of human trading. No algorithmic edge. No consistency. The tendency to gamble with your capital.
Many rely on off-the-shelf repurposed systems already used by multiple algorithm firms that have proven to fail statistically over time.
Frequent, deep drawdowns reflected in boxy performance equity growth curves - more like rollercoasters than the steady growth you’re promised.

The Vincere Advantage: What Differentiates Vincere.
.svg){kind=icon}
We follow the same core principles the largest hedge funds use: a suite of multiple uncorrelated return streams, diverse strategies, and constant improvement.
We’re constantly testing and adding new, non-correlated algorithms to the mix, so your investment portfolio is never reliant on just one algorithm or system.
No eggs in one basket. Highly reduced impact of Black Swan Events and changing market conditions.
We trade exclusively on the US futures market. Futures - specifically US index futures - are U.S. regulated, deeply liquid, and trade nearly 24 hours a day.
They behave with a consistency that our systems can exploit repeatedly overtime.
Our algorithms have successfully navigated market cycles since January 1st, 2020.
70+ months of results through multiple markets: COVID, Inflation spikes, Rate cycles, and Geopolitical shocks.
Starting from a $120,000 balance in January 2020, a compounded account following our algorithm suite would have grown to nearly $2 million by early 2026.
The S&P returned roughly 112% over that same period. With compounding, we returned over 2000%.
Our algorithms are rules-based. The same logic per algorithm in month one as month seventy.
That consistency is the source of our exceptionally stable performance.
Stable performance, regardless of market conditions or the time you join the algorithm.
Backed by an array of fully transparent data so you’re never confused by results.
Every system is grounded in rules-based, proven, statistically sound principles that can scale.
Unlike stock focused algorithms, our suite of algorithms seek returns from market movement, not market direction, reducing exposure to broad market swings from geopolitical events.
Reduce your dependence on bull markets by capitalizing on volatility across the diversified futures markets for a true, market neutral system.
Positions are not held open overnight into unknown risk. Every trade has a defined risk of 0.27% - 3% Maximum Loss for any given trade.
Our maximum loss (drawdown from the highest to lowest point) since inception has been -10.39%.
We don’t make illegal guarantees and structure our business to operate within applicable CFTC and NFA rules.
Integrity is at the core of everything we do, and our long-term vision is to help you scale your capital to one day become an institutional player.
Vincere is the only Algorithmic firm with a page dedicated to our team so you can verify our credentials.
Vincere’s people also include a large team of hedge fund coders who develop and refine our algorithms, & a client success team dedicated to supporting every client who joins Vincere.
Built in-house by a team of real hedge fund developers from scratch - giving you access to proprietary algorithms others can’t replicate.
That matters because when something needs to be adjusted, improved, or stress-tested - we can do it. Immediately. Ourselves.
Algorithms are engineered to minimize drawdowns and maximize returns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most Common
.svg){kind=icon}
The ideal Vincere client has capital they want working aggressively but intelligently. They're frustrated with mediocre returns relative to the risk and illiquidity of their current vehicles. They think in decades, not quarters. They want to understand what they're in and why.
They're not looking to get rich overnight. They're looking for a systematic, compounding infrastructure that builds real wealth over a multi-year horizon - and they want to be part of something growing toward institutional scale.
And ultimately, they want to win. Vincere is Latin for exactly that reason.
Yes. Most Vincere clients have no prior experience with algorithmic trading, and the algorithms are designed with that in mind. You don't need to read code or watch charts. Once your algorithm suite is set up, which our team walks you through end to end, the system runs automatically.
What you do need is investment capital, a compatible brokerage account, and NinjaTrader. We handle the rest.
A useful analogy: you don't need to understand how an engine works to drive a car safely. You need to know how to operate the vehicle and trust the engineering behind it. Vincere handles the engineering. Our onboarding team handles the setup. Our U.S.-based support team remains available throughout the life of your account.
Vincere's automated trading software is built for all experience levels and requires no technical background. Guided setup ensures a quick start for first-time users with full transparency and control. Experience is not a prerequisite. Capital, patience, and the discipline to let a systematic, long-term process work are the actual requirements.
A trading algorithm is a set of rules, executed automatically, that enters and exits futures market positions based on specific, pre-defined conditions.
Algorithmic trading software uses computer models and quantitative logic to analyze real-time market data and execute trades based on that analysis. The system evaluates factors like price movement, momentum, and volatility to identify opportunities with consistency. No emotion, no hesitation, no second-guessing.
This approach is not new. Quantitative funds and hedge funds have used algorithmic systems for decades. Renaissance Technologies, Two Sigma, and Citadel are among the most profitable investment firms in history, and they operate almost entirely on algorithmic execution.
The reason most individual investors do not have algorithmic exposure is access. Until recently, building these systems required nine-figure capital and a team of PhD researchers. That has changed.
For more information on algorithmic investing, watch our Why Invest With Algorithms Guide.
Two reasons: access and awareness.
Until recently, institutional-grade algorithmic strategies required tens of millions in capital and a quantitative development team that most individual investors could not assemble. The retail alternatives that did exist, such as signal groups, Discord bots, and copy-trading services, were generally low quality. The category developed a deserved reputation problem.
The awareness gap has been slower to close. Most traditional wealth managers do not show clients verified algorithmic track records, in part because doing so is not in their commercial interest.
We do trade them ourselves, with our own capital, every month. That commitment is non-negotiable. We only share what we personally trust with our own funds.
Licensing allows Vincere to monetize unused capacity in our trading systems while maintaining steady revenue to fund ongoing research and development. It is the same business model used by firms like Two Sigma, AQR, and Renaissance Technologies. The difference is the audience: those firms typically license to pension funds and endowments, which is why retail investors rarely hear about it. Vincere operates on both sides. We power select U.S.-regulated hedge funds at the institutional level and license the same suite to individual accounts.
Building Vincere into a long-term institution requires building a business, not just managing a personal portfolio. Platform growth funds better research, better infrastructure, and the eventual launch of a full institutional hedge fund, with our clients positioned as founding investors.
The futures markets we trade are deep enough that combined client capital does not affect execution or performance. The alignment is straightforward: when your algorithms perform, ours do too.
Capital protection is built into Vincere through three distinct layers, and understanding this is essential to understanding how this works.
- Custody: Your funds never leave your account. Vincere has zero custodial access at any point.
- Brokerage: Your assets are held in a U.S.-regulated brokerage or IRA account.
- Risk architecture: The algorithms operate with no overnight exposure, and a defined maximum loss per strategy.
Vincere is a software provider, not a fund manager or custodian. We never hold or move client funds. Your money remains in your account, in your name, at all times.
Our worst observed month over six years of trading is -8%. The realistic worst case has historically been a difficult month, not a blown account. The architecture is designed to make catastrophic drawdowns structurally minimized through a combination of zero additional leverage beyond what is inherent in futures contracts, no overnight positions, defined per-strategy loss limits, and 12 uncorrelated algorithms running together.
Not directly through a traditional employer-sponsored 401(k). Those plans are limited to the investment options your plan administrator makes available.
However, Vincere's algorithms are compatible with self-directed IRAs through Equity Trust Company®, which offers the standard tax advantages of an IRA. If you have an old 401(k) from a previous employer, rolling it into a self-directed IRA that supports futures trading is often worth exploring.
The right structure depends on your existing accounts, tax situation, and capital goals. This is a conversation we walk through on your demo call to help you understand your options clearly.
Our suite of algorithms do not use additional leverage outside of inherently leveraged futures contracts or high-risk strategies. Our strong returns come from statistical edge, not heightened risk.
Vincere is partnered with NinjaTrader, a National Futures Association (NFA) member. Funding a brokerage account with NinjaTrader can be done through electronic bank deposit, wire transfer, or transfer from another brokerage account.
For an IRA, the process is:
1. Open a self-directed IRA with Equity Trust®
2. Fund the IRA via transfer, rollover, or direct contribution
3. Fund your new NinjaTrader futures account using funds within your Equity Trust IRA
Vincere’s Algorithms
Vincere is not a financial advisor, and this is not personalized financial advice. That conversation belongs with your own advisors.
What we can share is how sophisticated investors typically approach this category. Institutions treat alternative assets as a meaningful allocation, neither a side position nor the entirety of a portfolio.
The right number depends on your total capital, existing allocations, liquidity needs, and timeline. Many investors allocate a portion of their portfolio to algorithmic strategies to pursue maximized returns that are less correlated with traditional market exposure. Bringing those specifics to a demo call allows us to think through your situation honestly together.
Institutional investors have long had access to private equity, hedge funds, and structured products. The rest of us are ugenerally limited to index funds and mutual funds with associated fees.
Algorithmic strategies offer a different approach. Instead of making a single directional bet on the market, Vincere clients run 12 independent algorithms, each with its own statistical edge across different market conditions. When one strategy underperforms, others may be in their environment. This is diversification at the strategy level, not just at the asset level.
Performance over the past six years has averaged 4.4% per month, with 87.2% of all months since January 2020 ending profitable. The strongest single month produced just under 16%.
Unlike private equity or traditional hedge fund structures, Vincere's licensing model offers same-day access to capital. There are no lock-ups and no performance fees reducing returns. Funds remain in your own custody, in your own brokerage account.
Active investing returns without the active trading.
Please be advised, algorithmic investing with Vincere is not for everyone. Some investors may not have the capital required to use the full algorithm suite, and the platform is not appropriate for those seeking to gamble with highly leveraged strategies. Vincere is designed for clients comfortable with managing their accounts online.
Vincere's algorithm suite is optimized for accounts in the $90,000 to $120,000 range and above. At that level, all 12 algorithms run simultaneously and the full diversification architecture is active.
A partial suite is available for accounts starting at $30,000, though running fewer algorithms means giving up some of the complete risk-distribution structure.
There is no upper limit. The strategies scale linearly with capital.
If you are unsure whether your capital level is the right fit, that question is exactly what the demo call is designed to address.
Yes. You can stop the algorithms with a single click. The algorithms function as a self-directed trading tool that connects to U.S.-regulated, CFTC registered brokerage accounts of your choice.
You can withdraw funds whenever you choose. Futures accounts are highly liquid, and most withdrawals settle within one business day.
Vincere trades exclusively in the U.S.-regulated futures market, specifically U.S. index futures. Primarily the E-mini S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100, two of the most liquid futures contracts in the world.
Both markets trade nearly 24 hours a day, five days a week. That gives the algorithms the ability to respond to global events in real time, not just during the 6.5-hour U.S. stock market session.
Vincere does not trade forex, single-stocks, or cryptocurrency. The choice of U.S.-regulated index futures is deliberate.
Every algorithm in the Vincere suite was built in-house, by our own team, from the ground up. No licensed third-party code. No repurposed systems we do not fully understand. We own every line of logic, every rule, and every parameter.
Development began with our chairman, Alex, and has grown into a team of quantitative analysts and professional developers working exclusively on the Vincere suite. Our in-house developers are former quantitative fund researchers who previously engineered trading systems for established hedge funds.
Owning the system end-to-end matters. When something needs to be adjusted, we can do it immediately. That is not a small detail. It is central to how Vincere operates.
From the first day of onboarding through the life of your account, Vincere clients are supported by a dedicated team:
- Onboarding: Guided setup of your brokerage account, NinjaTrader platform, and algorithm deployment
- Ongoing service: Direct team access for questions, performance reviews, and technical support
- Reporting: Monthly performance reports with full transparency
Vincere is not designed as a set-it-and-forget-it subscription where you receive a login and an outsourced call center. The human element, a team that is reachable and accountable, is a core part of the offering. We build for clients who stay with us for years, and that requires a real support experience.
VIP white-glove support is available from U.S.-based professionals at all times. No AI chatbots, no put on hold queues. Clients also have access to complimentary 60-minute virtual appointments with an algorithmic specialist for in-depth conversations.
This comparison is one of the most important to understand before evaluating any algorithmic trading product.
Forex is a largely unregulated, decentralized market. There is no central exchange, and pricing varies between brokers. The vast majority of forex algorithm providers use Martingale or grid strategies, which can produce attractive backtests but often blow up accounts in live conditions. Many of these systems run through offshore brokers with 50:1 to 500:1 leverage, where one bad week can erase an entire account. Trade execution quality and regulatory protection sit in an entirely different category from regulated futures.
Vincere trades U.S.-regulated futures. Federally overseen. Centralized pricing. Hundreds of billions of dollars in daily volume.
The comparison is not close.
This is a thoughtful question, and the answer depends on the market being traded.
The E-mini S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures markets trade hundreds of billions of dollars in daily volume. Vincere's combined client capital does not meaningfully affect execution in markets of that depth.
Vincere's edge is not based on speed advantages or order-flow impact. It is based on rules-based logic that identifies repeatable behavioral patterns in how these markets move. That type of edge does not degrade with scale the way a high-frequency strategy might.
Our Mission
For decades, algorithmic trading has been the secret weapon of the biggest hedge fund firms.
But we believe these powerful tools should be available to the rest of us as well.
Technology now makes it possible to not only open access to algorithmic trading, but to create fundamentally better products - for everyone.
Our mission is threefold:
First, to help as many investors as possible use our algorithms to have consistent superior returns from systems not previously available to them.
Second, to reinvest into building even more advanced, powerful, and intelligent strategies - designed to outperform and disrupt the outdated systems propping up prop firm profits.
And third, to expand into our own quantitative hedge fund, giving our users early access to institutional-grade strategies and a chance to grow with us as we redefine the future of algorithmic trading.
We’re here to grow with you - for years to come - as you evolve into a elite-level algorithmic investor.
