Fast Backtest Engine
Breeze through out-of-sample testing over multiple markets, timeframes and historical periods.
Realistically simulate transaction costs — spread, slippage, commissions and swap.
Walk-forward Optimizer
Often considered the gold standard in backtesting, walk-forward optimization provides a strict out-of-sample robustness test and helps your strategy adapt to prevailing conditions through periodic reoptimizations.
Check out my video on WFO concepts, settings and performance metrics.
Not sure what WFO settings to use? StrategyQuant’s walk-forward matrix (also called cluster WFO) searches for consistency across multiple WFO settings.
Monte Carlo Simulator
Another popular robustness test, Monte Carlo simulations estimate worst-case drawdowns through repeated random sampling.
Alternatively, randomize your strategy parameters and historical data to detect curve fitting.
Optimization Profile
Having a hard time optimizing your parameters?
Improve parameter stability by searching for high plateaus in your strategy’s 3-D optimization profile.
Detailed Trade Analysis
Continual improvement is the name of the game.
Identify weaknesses in your strategy using in-depth trade analysis.

FAQ
Can StrategyQuant really make me profitable?
If you put in the hard work and possess sound trading knowledge, StrategyQuant’s tremendous productivity boost will put the odds in your favour. I personally have found success with it, and that’s why I recommend it.
There’s also an active StrategyQuant discord group where members discuss trading-related issues, and many of them have impressive track records to show for.
Looks complicated. Do you have any tutorials?
Yes, check out the tutorial section of this website. My Youtube channel also contains plenty of trading-related content.
Why can’t you just provide signals?
Inconvenient truth: The only way to enjoy long-term trading success is to depend 100% on yourself. That means full accountability for the entire strategy development and trading process.
I’m unsure if StrategyQuant works for me. Is there a trial?
Yes, StrategyQuant has a 14-day free trial. QuantAnalyzer, AlgoWizard and QuantDataManager also have free versions, albeit with some limitations.
Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the software and decide whether it meets your unique requirements.
Will there be future upgrades?
Yes, the StrategyQuant Pro version includes upgrades for one year, while the Ultimate version includes lifetime upgrades.
The program is also fully extendable, so you can add your own metrics and functionality by inserting a Java snippet.
What are the benefits of automated trading?
✔ Simultaneously trade multiple strategies, markets and timeframes, 24 hours a day
✔ Quickly backtest your strategy to determine its long-term profitability and risk profile
✔ Keep emotions at bay with automatic execution of your trading rules
If your strategy is already fully mechanical, you should consider automating it. Remember automated trading does not mean unattended trading; you still monitor your strategies periodically.
