Developer of the tool here. With the recent shut down of Quantopian, I thought why not start developing a similar system.

I have already been working on this for a few months and it just went live a few weeks ago - I wanted to make it a paid backtester but with the shutdown, I figured people would want different alternatives, so here it is. Completely free and offers many strategies for testing.

If there is enough demand, we can add a lot more stuff.

Happy to answer any questions.

This field is tricky. We used to run an algorithmic trading platform (https://KloudTrader.com/narwhal) but pivoted to building productivity SaaS because the revenue numbers from these sort of fintech is quite bad if you do not have scale. It is a very niche market.

The "Watch our video" link on the landing homepage is broken, or at least broken for me. Great work on the site design though, it looks great

What language is this written in? What language can my strategy use? Any api documentation?
