Who we are and what we do
Torvannis is an automated trading platform company based in Thika, Kenya, founded in 2021 by a team of software engineers and retail traders who were tired of adapting tools built for other markets to the realities of trading from East Africa. The company develops and operates a strategy automation platform that connects traders' own rule-based systems to live broker APIs — handling execution, risk enforcement, and performance monitoring so that traders can run disciplined, consistent strategies without being tied to a screen. Our clients range from individual forex and commodities traders in Nairobi, Thika, and Nakuru who are automating their first strategy, to small proprietary trading desks managing multiple concurrent positions across several broker accounts. The platform currently serves traders on MetaTrader 4 and MT5-compatible brokers, with additional integrations in active development. In our first three years of operation we have configured and deployed more than 140 distinct client strategies, collected backtest feedback from over 90 active users, and maintained a platform uptime record of 99.6% across all trading sessions.
