Backtest Club — Trading automation, tested honestly

Your rules, written as code, tested before they touch money

We automate strategies for traders who already have one. We code your rules into our own trading engine and backtest them with real costs. Then you get access to our hosted platform, where you run the strategy through your own broker account with risk limits you set. There are no servers for you to manage, and the same house rules as every article on this site apply.

What we build

01 · Strategy to code

Your trading rules, coded into our engine

You describe entries, exits, sizing and filters. We write them down precisely enough for a computer to trade, flag every place a rule is ambiguous, and then code the strategy into our engine.

Written rule specification you sign off on
Strategy implemented on our trading engine
Indicators, scanners and custom signals

02 · Backtest & validation

Find out if the edge is real before you fund it

We test your strategy on historical data with brokerage, slippage and taxes included, then check it out of sample and against luck. You get the honest result, even when it's ugly.

Full report: drawdowns, losing streaks, trade list
Out-of-sample and walk-forward checks
Monte Carlo test: skill or luck?

03 · Hosted platform

Run your strategy from our platform, through your broker

We host and maintain everything. You log in to the platform, connect your broker account, and run your strategy so orders go out on rule, not on emotion. Paper trading comes first, then live with small size.

Broker API integration & order management

04 · Risk & monitoring

Guardrails that stop a bad day becoming a bad year

Hard limits the bot cannot override, and alerts that reach you when something looks wrong: a failed order, a missed fill, or a drawdown past your line.

Daily loss, position and exposure limits
Kill switch and automatic square-off
Telegram / email alerts and daily P&L logs

How an engagement works

Discovery call

You walk us through the strategy. We tell you honestly whether it can be automated as described.

Rule specification

We write the rules down unambiguously. Nothing gets built until you approve the spec.

Build & backtest

We code the strategy into our engine and send a full backtest report with costs, so you see the real distribution before deciding.

Paper trade

You get platform access, and the strategy runs on live data without real orders so we can compare it with the backtest.

Go live & support

You switch to live trading on the platform with risk limits on. We keep the engine running and updated as markets and broker APIs change.

What we will never do

Give trade tips. We have a zero-tips policy: no calls, no targets, no "buy this now". We don't tell you what to trade.
Sell you a strategy or signals. We automate the rules you bring.
Take a cut of your profits. No profit share, no performance fee, no percentage of your gains. Your profits are yours, and our incentive is to build a system that works as specified, not one that trades more.
Promise returns. If a backtest says your idea doesn't work, that's what the report will say.
Touch your money. Your funds stay in your own broker account. We never hold capital or trade on your behalf.

Before you automate

Automation makes a strategy faster and more consistent. It does not give a strategy an edge it doesn't have. An engine executing a losing system just loses more efficiently, which is why every strategy starts with an honest backtest.

Have a strategy you want automated?

Tell us about your rules, the market and timeframe you trade, and your broker. We reply with whether it can be automated, what we'd test first, and a quote.
