Backtests are simulations; past performance does not guarantee future results. trades.run can make errors—always verify results. Any decisions you make based on this information are your own.
This is not financial or investment advice. trades.run is an educational and informational tool for testing and exploring trading ideas.
From idea to evidence in three steps
No code. No spreadsheets. No quant on retainer. Just the strategy, the way you’d describe it to a friend.
Describe it
“Buy the S&P when it closes 2% below its 20-day average, sell a week later.” If you can say it, you can test it.
Backtest it
Your idea runs against years of real historical data and comes back as a full report — equity curve, drawdowns, win rate, and the risk numbers that matter.
Track it live
Promote any backtest to Live Mode and watch it trade paper money on live market data, with a push notification every time it acts.
Feels like having a quant on your laptop
Everything between “I have a hunch” and “I have proof” — in one place.
AI strategy builder
Plain-English ideas become real, runnable backtests. Ask follow-up questions in chat, refine the rules, and re-run — the conversation is the workflow.

Every run reports Sharpe, Sortino and Calmar ratios, max drawdown, profit factor and performance against simply holding SPY — so a “winning” strategy has to prove it.

Backtests ship as readable, shareable reports — charts, tables, methodology and the fine print. Send a link instead of a screenshot of a spreadsheet.
