From plain English to an auditable backtest
Turn your trading ideas into tested strategies
Describe a trading idea the way you would say it out loud. StormLedge asks the right questions, writes the code, runs the backtest, and tells you honestly whether the results hold up or are just noise.
No coding or trading experience required.
When gold breaks above its last swing high, buy. Take half off at 10%, trail the rest, and never risk more than 2% on a trade.
Strategies it can read
Say it however makes sense to you, from a plain hunch to precise indicator rules.
How it works
One conversation takes you from idea to tested strategy.
Describe
Give it the ticker, the entry signal, the exit, the stop. Plain English, no syntax to learn.
Watch it think
A visible plan, then the code written live in front of you in the StormLedge Computer.
Backtest
Bars replay in real time against your rules. Trades mark themselves on the chart as they fire.
Get the verdict
Sharpe, drawdown, walk-forward results, and an honest statistical verdict on whether there is an edge at all.
Every idea starts as noise
StormLedge tests it against real bars until only the signal is left. What comes out is a clean, auditable equity curve, not a black box.
Nothing hidden behind the numbers
Every result ships with the full readout behind it.
Dual code output
Every strategy compiles to a full Python engine and to the StormLedge DSL, a short readable version of your rules. Read, edit, download, or re-run either one.
Benchmarked results
Every result comes with the numbers that matter, return, risk, and drawdown among them, measured against simply buying and holding instead of standing alone.
Signal or noise
A composite score across returns quality, consistency, robustness, and discipline, plus a statistical check on whether a result is signal or just noise.
Walk-forward testing
See how the strategy holds up against data it has never seen before, on demand, a stronger test than just replaying the history it was built on.
Nothing hidden in the number
Every backtest ships its own audit trail: fill model, costs, data source, engine version, and the exact code that ran.
Deploy to MetaTrader
Export any strategy as an Expert Advisor and run it in your own MetaTrader 5 account, with the same rules you backtested. Your account, your broker, your control.
Common questions
No. Describe the strategy the way you would say it out loud, with the ticker, the entry, the exit, and the stop. StormLedge writes the code for you, and you can read it or change it at any time.
It is a small, readable language that describes your strategy as clear rules anyone can follow. You never have to learn it or write it yourself. It exists so you can see exactly what your strategy does, tweak it easily, and export it to other platforms such as MetaTrader 5.
Every strategy is generated in both, and they are kept in sync. The Python version is the full engine that runs the backtest. The DSL version is the short, readable summary of the rules. You can read, edit, download, or re-run either one.
Anything StormLedge can pull a clean price history for: major forex pairs, gold, indices, stocks, and ETFs. You can test on daily or hourly bars, with daily data going back to 2005.
It scores the strategy on the quality of its returns, how consistent it is, how well it holds up across different market conditions, and how disciplined its positions are. It also runs a statistical significance check on the results, so you know whether you are looking at a real edge or just luck.
The strategy is trained on several years of data and then tested on a later period it has never seen. If the results hold up on data it was not tuned on, the edge is far more likely to be real. You can run it on demand.
The fill model, the commission and slippage assumptions, the data source, the engine version, and a fingerprint of the exact code that ran. If a number looks too good to be true, you can check exactly how it was produced.
You export it to MetaTrader 5 as an Expert Advisor. The EA carries the same rules you backtested and runs in your own MetaTrader account with your own broker, so you stay in full control of your money at all times.
