New in v1.2

Read the full release notes →

Is your best backtest real or luck?
White's Reality Check, Hansen's SPA, StepM, Sharpe haircuts and the Deflated Sharpe ratio test an optimization's winner against the search that found it.
Use Strateda from your AI client
Connect Claude Code, any other MCP client or your own agent over OAuth. Live demo strategies can be monitored, read-only.
The AI Assistant builds and edits strategies
It asks before changing anything, unless you let it apply changes for the rest of the chat. It cannot start a backtest and cannot touch Live Demo Trading.
Formula and cross-instrument conditions, symbol sweeps
Write a condition as a formula, compute a signal on a second instrument, or run one strategy across many symbols in one job.
Portfolio combination
Combine up to 15 backtests into one book with combined equity, drawdown and margin.
More indicators
v1.2 adds 94 indicators to the library.

BUILD & TEST

Build systematic strategies. Backtest on 1-minute data from Databento.

Design algorithmic trading strategies visually using multi-condition logic across a growing indicator library. No coding required. Backtest on 1-minute OHLC and BBO data from Databento (US stocks from May 2018, most CME futures from 2010), or connect MetaTrader 5 to backtest on your broker's own data: its spread, swap and margin, and your exact instrument universe.

  • Broad indicator coverage across all major strategy categories: trend, momentum, volatility, volume and more
  • AI Assistant builds strategies from natural language descriptions (Plus and above)
  • 20+ analytics charts on every backtest (Plus and above): equity curves, drawdown, P&L distribution and more
  • Monte Carlo simulation and risk analysis on every backtest (Plus and above)
  • Formula conditions and signals computed on a second instrument
  • Download a backtest as a self-contained HTML report, with the strategy export inside
  • Databento 1-minute data, or MT5-mode backtests (Plus and above) with your broker's spread, swap and margin (commission is the rate you enter)
  • Request new indicators, instruments and data feeds through the contact page
OPTIMIZE & VALIDATE

Find robust parameters. Validate them out of sample.

Run systematic grid search across hundreds of parameter combinations. Identify robust parameter sets with neighbour-averaged heatmaps, 3D performance surfaces, and a full analytics suite covering sensitivity, correlation, and overfitting detection.

  • Full parameter grid search with multi-metric ranking
  • Neighbour-averaged robustness heatmaps help flag overfit parameters
  • Walk-Forward Optimization with rolling IS/OOS windows
  • Efficiency ratio and parameter stability tracking across all WFO windows
  • Significance tests (Reality Check, SPA, StepM) against data-snooping
  • Symbol sweep: one strategy across many instruments in one run

Live slippage distribution showing entry and exit execution quality analysis across live demo trades with KDE overlay

Demo account execution data: slippage on 98 live demo entries and 97 exits. Median slippage: 11.99 price units on entry, 0 on exit.

RUN ON DEMO & MONITOR

Run live on MT5 demo. Monitor execution quality on every trade.

Run the strategies you have tested on your MetaTrader 5 demo account. Monitor performance with 20+ analytics charts: P&L distributions, rolling Sharpe, Monte Carlo simulation, and full Transaction Cost Analysis including slippage and latency on every trade.

  • MT5 Expert Advisor bridge for backtesting and Live Demo Trading
  • Two server regions (US East / EU Central)
  • Full TCA suite: slippage, latency, execution precision
  • Live demo strategy monitoring with 20+ analytics charts

In-depth research analytics. No coding required.

Build, test and validate strategies, then run them on an MT5 demo account.

Walk-Forward Optimization
Rolling IS/OOS validation windows with efficiency ratio, parameter stability tracking, and overfitting detection across all windows
AI Assistant
Builds and edits strategies in the form, plots and measures indicators, sizes optimizations and reads back finished backtests. It asks before changing anything, unless you let it apply changes for the rest of the chat
Statistical Significance
White's Reality Check, Hansen's SPA and StepM test whether the best result of an optimization survives the search that found it
Formula & Cross-Instrument Conditions
Write a condition as a formula, or compute a signal on a second instrument, such as an RSI computed on XAGUSD
Symbol Sweep & Portfolio
Run one strategy across many instruments in a single job, then combine several backtests into one portfolio
Live Demo Trading & TCA
Live signals executed on your MT5 demo account, with slippage, latency and execution precision measured on every trade. No real money at risk
