About Us

Alejandro Galindo Chairez

Founder of ctrading.tools · Algorithmic Trader · NinjaTrader 8 Developer

I build the trading tools I use myself. I started trading in 2000 on MetaTrader where I developed the 10points3 grid system, a well-known approach among grid traders at the time and  eSignal/TradeStation for futures. Today ctrading.tools is where I publish the NinjaTrader 8 strategies, indicators and add-ons that come out of my own day-to-day futures trading.

For fifteen years I also led payment-systems projects in Mexico: interbank transfers (SPEI, CoDi, TEF), SWIFT, foreign exchange and anti-money-laundering platforms, where reliability and risk control are not optional. That mindset carries straight into every tool on this site.

I also develop custom trading systems for clients on NinjaTrader, TradeStation, TradingView, Quantower, Sierra Chart, MultiCharts and MetaTrader.

Every strategy and indicator is designed, backtested and run on real futures markets: Nasdaq, S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Dow micros and minis.

Order handling, risk limits and failure cases get the same attention I gave to systems moving money between banks.

PMP and Professional Scrum Master certified, with 100,000+ hours of managed projects behind me. Releases are versioned, documented and supported.
