About 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.

Singular Signal
Singular Signal is a web-based trading strategy builder for individual traders who want to create and evaluate their own entry and exit rules. Users describe a trading idea in plain language, then combine indicators, chart patterns and rule components in the Lab to turn it into a strategy. The product's library includes 395 indicators, patterns and rules. Strategies can be backtested against historical one-minute market data so users can review how price behaved after signals, rather than relying only on a written hypothesis. Pro subscribers can run strategies live during a market session and receive entry and exit alerts by email, in-app notification, push notification or webhook. The software provides tools for creating, testing and monitoring rules; users decide what to trade. Backtest results are hypothetical, past performance is not a promise, and Singular Signal is not investment advice.

BacktestFlow
BacktestFlow is a browser-based manual backtesting and trade-journaling application for forex traders. Users replay historical charts candle by candle, place market, stop, and limit orders, and record each closed trade with notes, tags, checklist items, and screenshots before replay continues. The product calculates trading statistics in units such as pips, percentages, money, and R, with breakdowns by instrument, session, and other trade attributes. A separate journal lets users record and review live trades. Flow Coach analyzes recorded trading patterns and includes significance checks. Paid plans add Monte Carlo simulations and a prop-firm challenge simulation. The service runs in a web browser and helps traders examine discretionary strategies and execution without writing code.

AniQuant
AniQuant is a Windows desktop application for researching, generating, backtesting and validating systematic trading strategies with users’ historical market data. Strategies can be created through exhaustive, random or genetic searches and assessed using technical indicators, candlestick patterns, the AQ strategy language and CPU/GPU-assisted parameter sweeps. Validation tools include walk-forward and out-of-sample tests, Monte Carlo simulation, overfitting metrics, survival tests, market-regime analysis and portfolio risk analysis. Strategies can be exported as code for TradeStation/MultiCharts, AmiBroker, MetaTrader 5, ProRealTime, TradingView and NinjaTrader 8. It is designed for independent and professional traders and quantitative researchers testing strategies before deployment. The software runs locally on Windows; US-stock research requires a separate market-data subscription. A 14-day trial is available.
