Your trading ideas, tested properly and turned into bots, from your phone. StrategyDynamics 2.0 is a complete rebuild. Describe a strategy in plain words, paste code, share a screenshot or a link, and it becomes a precise rule set. 140 building blocks cover price action, smart money, candle patterns, indicators, VWAP and volume profile. One tap tests it on years of real market data with real measured costs. Another sends it to your platform as a working bot. FROM IDEA TO BOT, ZERO FRICTION Every system exports to six targets: cTrader, MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, TradingView Pine Script, Python and an agent package for your own AI agent or runner. Each export is compile checked before you see it, with a parity score against the backtest, so the bot trades the system you tested. Install steps are pictured, and the bot checks your broker against what it was tested on before it places a trade. AN ENGINE BUILT TO BE HONEST • Real measured spreads, slippage and swap per market • Next bar fills and stops checked on the fill bar, no look ahead • Every result keeps an unseen part the optimiser never sees, and shows it • Equity drawdown with open positions marked, not only closed trades • Every number carries its provenance: data range, costs, engine version • News in the report: trades held through rate decisions, CPI and jobs releases, stops on news bars A LIVING GALAXY Your systems orbit in a 3D galaxy you can spin and zoom. Colour shows each system's stage, from idea to tested to forward to deployed. Your best work glows. FORWARD TESTING THAT DECIDES Seat a system forward and it runs on every new bar each morning, with fills at the next bar's open and the same costs. One summary a day. If live results move outside what the backtest and the unseen part said was possible, the Breaker fires. EDGE FINDER AND BREED Edge Finder hunts for new systems across the markets and styles you choose, tests every candidate, and keeps only those that hold up on data they never saw. Breed crossbreeds two to four of your systems and races the bloodline. OPTIMISE WITHOUT FOOLING YOURSELF Watch hundreds of settings tested live on a lightning field and a stability terrain. Thin results are discounted, the robust pick leads, and you always see how it did on the unseen part. STRESS BEFORE MONEY Monte Carlo, walk forward, prop challenge race, best and missed trades, regime, stability and a parity check. Prop firm settings: daily loss, max loss, profit target and weekend flatten, simulated in the test and built into every export. PORTFOLIOS THAT ADAPT Combine systems into one account. See the combined equity, correlation and losing together days, and let the tune find better settings for the whole book without changing a single system. REPLAY EVERY TRADE Step through any trade on real candles. Grid baskets replay as one, level by level, to the basket close. MARKETS AND DATA 49 markets: gold, silver and platinum, 11 indices and the dollar index, 30 forex pairs, Brent, WTI, gas and copper. 10 timeframes from one minute to monthly. 59 million candles, topped up every day. PLANS • Starter £9.99 a month: 20 backtests and 1 optimisation a month, 1 forward test, Monte Carlo • Pro £39 a month: 50 backtests, 20 optimisations, 2 Edge Finder hunts, 5 forward tests, five stress tests • Institutional £149 a month: 1000 backtests, 200 optimisations, 10 hunts, 20 forward tests, code export to all six targets including agent code, all nine stress tests, first on the engine Subscriptions renew monthly until cancelled in your App Store settings.
