Once you find a strategy you like, quickly deploy it with just a few clicks.

Run backtests on any asset class, using robust historical data, including corporate events such as earnings, dividends and splits, plus outside events such as analyst actions and estimates.

Detailed reporting and analytics help you build and refine trading strategies easier than ever before

TrendSpider provides a robust set of statistical metrics for you to use when refining your trading strategies, including, but not limited to the net profit, the beta, the ratio of winning and losing trades, your expectancy, and much, much more. As you run your backtests, you will see how your metrics change visually, so you won't miss anything.

Price behavior explorer chart gives you a powerful, new way to visually understand the behavior of your backtested trading strategy

TrendSpider's price behavior explorer is a powerful visualization that helps you understand how your backtested strategy performs from entry through exit. Here, you can measure a wide range of statistics to understand the likely path price will take from entry, which you can use to refine your trading strategy further.

When the last trade in a backtested strategy is still open, the price behavior explorer chart will be superimposed the likely path it will take from there visually so you can have a sense for what to expect.

Turn winning backtested strategies into live trading bots without writing any code

When you find a winning backtest in the Strategy Tester, you can put it to work for you in a few different ways. For example, one way is to create "Alert Me Next Time" notifications on your entry or exit conditions. Another way is to convert the entire strategy into a fully automated Trading Bot. It's designed to be easy to use, even for people who don't have computer science degrees!
