Forex backtesting software, compared honestly.
Seven head-to-head comparisons, each written against the competitor's own published documentation — and each with a section naming the cases where they are the better tool and we are not. If a comparison page never reaches that section, it was written by the marketing department.
One is a professional quant platform where you write the code. The other tests the strategy you already trade, without any.
Read the comparison →The best charts in the business, and a backtester that tells you exactly which assumption it made when your stop and target shared a bar.
Read the comparison →MetaTrader's tester is free, broker-native and runs the exact code you will trade. Here is where that is enough, and where it is not.
Read the comparison →One trains your hand. The other tests your rules. Most traders who need one do not need the other.
Read the comparison →StrategyQuant generates thousands of strategies and filters them. We take the one you already believe in and try to break it.
Read the comparison →Build Alpha's robustness testing is the most thoroughly documented in retail software. Here is what it does not tell you, and what it does better than we do.
Read the comparison →Both are no-code and both have AI. The difference is what happens when the backtest comes back looking good.
Read the comparison →Every factual claim about another product was checked against that vendor's own documentation or pricing page on 29 July 2026, and each page links its sources so you can check us. Where research could not confirm something, the page says what we could confirm and stops — "not documented" and "does not exist" are different claims and we do not blur them. Our own limitations appear on these pages too: we do not execute live trades, we model one conservative cost pair across instruments, and we cover 30 markets rather than every asset class.
Or skip the reading and test your own strategy.
Five full backtests free, no card, and an honest out-of-sample verdict — whatever it says.
