ChartLabs
ChartLabs is manual backtesting software for traders who want to know if their strategy works before they risk real money. You trade through historical charts the same way you'd trade live - placing orders, managing positions, making decisions in real time.
We source tick data from Dukascopy and clean it before you ever see it - removing spikes, gaps, and outliers that make backtests unreliable. Most platforms skip this. We don't.
Markets: forex, indices, crypto, and commodities. Up to 20 years of history.
Analytics: profit factor, max drawdown, Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, Monte Carlo simulation, strategy correlation. The stuff professional traders actually look at.
Multi-screen charting, trade tagging, chart snapshots on every trade, training and verification sessions, drawing tools, indicators, keyboard shortcuts.
One plan. Everything included. Free trial, no credit card required.

AlphaPrime
AlphaPrime is Windows desktop software for researching systematic trading strategies in futures and forex markets. Users set a market, timeframe, test period, costs, and rule conditions; the software generates strategy candidates, backtests them, and filters results against user-defined criteria. Reports include net profit, drawdown, and profit factor. Out-of-sample, walk-forward, and Monte Carlo checks help assess strategy behavior. Generated source code can be exported for MultiCharts, TradingView, TradeStation, NinjaTrader, MetaTrader 4, and MetaTrader 5, then reviewed and run in those platforms. The Classic edition uses CPU processing; Reserve adds NVIDIA GPU acceleration and batch workflows. AlphaPrime supports research, not order execution. A seven-day trial is available without a credit card. Paid licenses include one year of updates, with later updates optional. Backtests do not predict future results. AlphaPrime by Valynox, an NVIDIA Inception program member.

Simula
Simula is a no-code tool for backtesting, strategy validation and execution. Built for traders, not programmers.
Go from first idea to execution in one place; for stocks, forex, commodities or crypto in a visual builder where you see the exact rules, or describe your idea in plain English and let the builder fill it in. The same strategy always gives the same result. Backtest down to 1-minute candles, up to 250,000 candles per test, then stress-test with Monte Carlo simulation, walk-forward analysis and parameter optimization. A built-in AI chat explains your results in plain language.
When your strategy is ready, turn on live alerts for Telegram, Discord, and Slack. Simula checks your strategy at every candle close with the same engine as your backtest, so each alert follows the rules you tested. Place trades with your own broker, Simula never trades for you. Trade on Evidence, not Hope.
