How it works

Step 01

Define the setup

Entry rules, exit rules, position sizing. Use the Strategy Lab bot to translate plain English into testable logic.

Step 02

Run against history

Test against real equity-curve data. See win rate, profit factor, expectancy, max drawdown, and Sharpe on every run.

Step 03

Replay your own trades

Scrub through historical charts with your actual trades overlaid. Would you have entered earlier? Exited later? The replay tells you.

Historical replay

See your trade the way the market saw it.

Load any past trade and replay the chart bar by bar. The entry, the intrabar low, the exit — all visible in sequence. Pattern Mining gets smarter every time you run a replay because it captures your decision context.

  • Bar-by-bar replay on 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, or daily
  • Overlay your actual trades on the historical chart
  • Mark alternative entry/exit points for comparison
