AI-assisted backtesting · NQ & ES futures

From English
to evidence.

Describe a trading setup in plain English. We interpret the rules, surface every assumption, and run it across historical CME data — then return a structured backtest you can review and refine. No code. No Pine Script. No weekend chart reviews.

Backtesting uses historical data · Past performance does not guarantee future results
Core features

Built for traders who don’t want to write code.

Every feature is in service of one promise: turn a strategy idea into evidence you can trust.

Plain-English input

Write your strategy the way you’d describe it to another trader. The model handles the parsing — you don’t learn another DSL.

Interpretation transparency

Every assumption the model makes is shown alongside your run. Edit any field before the engine fires.

Honest execution model

Next-bar fills. Stop-before-target on overlapping bars. Realistic tick slippage. The defaults that prevent silent inflation.

Reproducible by design

Every backtest stores its full input, parser interpretation, data snapshot, and engine version. Rerun any past test — exactly.

How it works

Three steps from idea to result.

Describe

Type or paste your strategy in plain English. Pick a market, timeframe, and date range.

Confirm

Review the parsed spec side-by-side with your text. Edit any assumption before running.

Run & review

The engine processes the test asynchronously. Get metrics, trade log, equity curve, and a written explanation when it’s done.

Pricing

Two plans, with more on the way.

Same engine, same conservative execution defaults across the board. Pro adds intraday timeframes, micros, and conversational refinement.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is this financial advice?

No. TradeStratLab is a research and backtesting tool. We help you analyse how strategies would have performed historically, with all assumptions shown. We do not tell you what to trade, and historical performance does not guarantee future results.

Which markets and timeframes are supported?

At launch: index futures (NQ, ES, RTY, YM) on Standard, plus their micros (MNQ, MES, MRTY, MYM) on Pro. Timeframes: 15m, 1h, 4h, and daily on Standard; 1m and 5m additionally on Pro. Data is sourced from CME and refreshed monthly, with history back to January 2023 on Pro. Energy (CL, NG), metals (GC, SI), and rates (ZN, ZB) ship with Lab Desk.

How accurate is the backtest engine?

We use conservative execution defaults: next-bar-open fills, stop-before-target priority on overlapping bars, realistic tick-level slippage, and per-contract commissions. These prevent the silent inflation common in retail backtest tools. Every assumption is shown alongside the run.

What’s the difference between form and chat backtesting?

Form (Standard) gives you a structured submission flow — fill in the fields, run the test. Chat (Pro) lets you refine the strategy conversationally before submitting: ask clarifying questions and iterate without retyping the whole description.

Can I export my results?

Both paid plans include CSV export of the full trade log and equity curve. PDF reports are on the roadmap. Every backtest is retained in your account indefinitely.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 14 days on Standard or Pro, no credit card required. Cancel anytime during the trial and you’re not charged. Lab Desk is a separate offer for teams; join the wait list to be notified when it opens.
