Our story
Tekton was created to make investing and trading accessible to everyone, from novices to advanced traders alike. Our products and services are designed to be easy, user-intuitive, and fun to use. We have developed tools that allow our members to spend as much or as little time as you like to prosper and contribute your wealth back to societal causes that matter to you.
Our name is from the Ancient Greek noun tektōn (τέκτων) and is a common term for an artisan/craftsman; in particular a carpenter, wood-worker, mason, builder or engineer. The Tekton Algorithmic Trading tools have been crafted to think, build, test, trade and at its core to manage and minimise risk.
Tekton came about through frustrations with making silly mistakes while trading. Our founders, like many traders, learned the hard way that life as a trader is not always the glamorous, get rich quick scheme that Wall Street made out to be. After some success and a lot of failure, they found that there was a lot to learn before anyone can ‘trade well’. It took them a whole year to perfect and finetune their playbook. That playbook became the foundation of Tekton.
