Are these one-time fees or recurring charges?
All three plans are one-time project fees covering the build, testing, and initial deployment. There are no monthly platform charges from Sterling Atelier. Ongoing support beyond the included window is available as an optional retainer.
Do I own the code after the project ends?
Yes. You receive full source code with no licence restrictions. You can modify it, share it with another developer, or migrate it to a different infrastructure — no permission required from us.
Can I start with Start and upgrade later?
Absolutely. If you begin with the Start plan and later want to add a second strategy, a backtesting report, or the monitoring dashboard, we quote the delta — you don't pay for work that's already been done.
What if my broker isn't in your certified stack?
We can evaluate integrations outside our standard list. Depending on the broker's API quality, this adds roughly 5 to 15 business days and an additional scoping fee. We confirm feasibility before any work begins.
