The platform
Platform · Test Lab
Validate before you risk a cent.
Backtest on years of data, run it forward, and paper-trade on the exact same engine with virtual money. A Readiness Score tells you what’s left before Live.
Research, not gambling. Paper-first is a strong readiness signal — the Risk Gate remains the single gate to Live.
Backtest
Validate a strategy on 2+ years of historical data before committing capital.
Walk-forward
Test out-of-sample robustness, not just a curve fitted to the past.
Paper trading
Live prices, the same execution engine, zero capital at risk — a real dress rehearsal.
Readiness Score
A checklist of what’s left — blueprint, backtest, paper, protection — before you go Live.
