New to trading or to testing

Find out if an idea holds up

No coding needed. Describe a strategy in plain English, see how it would have done on real historical data, and get every metric explained in plain words.

  • Plain-English strategy builder
  • Test at your own amount, with your UK broker's fees
  • Warnings when a result is too thin to trust, or could be luck
  • Paper trading with no real money at risk
  • Education Centre that explains the statistics
ExampleA real past test, drawn by the product. Not a forecast.
The short result card for a past test. You asked: Golden cross on ISF.L over the last 5 years. Lost to simply holding ISF.L. This rule: £1,564 from £1,000. Simply holding: £1,764 from £1,000. £1,000 put in at the close of 6 Oct 2021, counted at the close of 5 Oct 2026. Only 3 round-trip trades in 5 years, so one decision can swing this result.
The short card a new account sees first. This past test lost to simply holding, and the card says so.

Methodology you can check

Probabilistic and deflated Sharpe, time-slice stability and the Sharpe of every pair of sub-periods (fixed parameters, nothing re-fitted), and Monte Carlo. Thresholds and assumptions are stated, not hidden.

  • Deflated Sharpe counted over every test of the idea
  • Time-slice stability and the Sharpe across sub-periods
  • Total return, with costs and taxes from the engine's own report
  • Reproduce download, public evidence explorer and an MCP server
ExampleA real past test, drawn by the product. Not a forecast.
The full result card for the same past test, Golden cross on ISF.L over the last 5 years: the answer, both amounts beside simply holding over the same dates, and the key figures, each beside simply holding.
The full result for the same test: each key figure beside simply holding, over the same dates.

Research, build and paper trade in one place

No black boxes. Every result shows the rules it ran and the assumptions behind it.

Research

Ask questions in plain English and get answers from real data.

Prices, company fundamentals and FRED macro data

Every figure linked to its source, with a date

Says so when a question is out of scope

ExampleA real answer, stored on 2 Oct 2026, drawn by the product.
The Research Agent's answer to "What is Apple's operating margin?" Each figure carries a numbered link, and the sources are listed under the answer with their dates.
An answer from the Research Agent, kept from 2 Oct 2026. Each figure links to its source, and each source has a date.

Strategy builder

Turn an idea into a backtest, with or without code.

Combine up to four conditions; the engine runs exactly what you asked

Full daily histories, total return, cost shown before you run

Or set a goal and see every candidate judged on held-out years

Only shares and funds that trade today are in the data. A company that failed, was taken over or was delisted is not in it.

ExampleA real report from the engine, run on stored past prices kept for tests.
A Prove it report on a golden cross on SPY. It survived 2 of 6 attacks. One row per attack, each marked as passed or failed.
Prove it attacks a result to see whether it holds up. This real report is for a golden cross on SPY, 1 Oct 2021 to 24 Sep 2026.

Paper trading

Practise before you risk anything.

A strategy you track follows its backtest exactly: weights, timing, costs

Publish it for a locked forward track record

Real-money trading isn't available (there's a waitlist)

ExampleAn example account holding two real past tests. The pretend cash is the product's own amount.
The Portfolios page for an example account with two saved strategies. One is open to be tracked with pretend money, which starts with $100,000 of pretend cash.
Portfolios: a saved strategy can be tracked with pretend money, from one list. No real money is traded.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about what Quantis Trade does, and what it doesn't.

Do I need any coding experience?+

No. Describe a strategy in plain English and the strategy agent turns it into rules and backtests them. The result shows the rules it actually ran, so you can check it understood you.

What data do backtests use?+

Daily price bars for US-listed stocks and ETFs, and for UK, European and Swiss listings: FTSE 100 and some FTSE 250 shares, UK ETFs, large Euro Stoxx 50 stocks and Swiss majors. Only shares and funds that trade today are in the data. A company that failed, was taken over or was delisted is not in it. So a test that picks from a list of shares is flattered, by an amount the test cannot measure. Each backtest uses one currency and is total return by default: dividends are reinvested after a UK investor's default withholding tax, and UK stamp duty is charged on purchases of UK shares. US company fundamentals and FRED macro series are used where a strategy needs them. There is no intraday, options, futures or crypto data. If you ask for something outside that coverage, you get a clear error rather than a different strategy.

Counting the shares and funds with daily prices.

Can I trade live or connect a broker?+

Not with real money. Quantis Trade is for research, backtesting and paper trading, and real-money trading is on a waitlist. Practice accounts at a broker, which hold pretend money, are being tested and are not open to every account yet.

Can I test with my own amount and broker?+

Yes. Say how much you would put in and which broker you use, for example "I have £500 on Trading 212", and the backtest runs at that amount with that broker's dealing charges, FX fee and share rules. There are presets for five UK brokers, or you can enter your own fees. The result shows the smallest amount from which the fees stop mattering much.

How does paper trading work?+

Deploy a saved strategy to paper trading and it holds the same target weights the backtest engine chose, on the strategy's own rebalance days, with the backtest's costs, dividends and interest on idle cash. You can also place your own paper trades, filled against market prices. Paper trading covers US listings for now. Results are a simulation and won't exactly match what a broker would have filled.

Is Quantis Trade financial advice?+

No. Quantis Trade shows how a rule would have done on past prices. It doesn't tell you what to buy, and a good backtest doesn't mean the rule will work in future. Please read our risk warning at /risk-warning before acting on any result.

How are tokens consumed?+

Every test costs 300 tokens, whatever its length and however many shares it covers. Research questions and the other tools are paid for in the same tokens and have their own prices. The strategy and research agents show the cost before you run anything. New accounts: verify your email to get 3 free tests (1,000 tokens), one free trial per email inbox. The 3 tests use 900 tokens and the other 100 pay for research questions.

Is my work private?+

Your strategies, backtests and research are tied to your account and aren't shown to other users unless you choose to share them, with a share link or on the community feed.
