Forge your edge.
Institutional-grade futures backtesting, built for retail traders.
StratSmith is the complete platform for building, testing, and validating futures trading strategies. Powerful optimization and statistical analysis, guided, automated, and built for results.
From idea to validated strategy
in one workflow.
Stop duct-taping spreadsheets, scripts, and notebooks together. StratSmith handles every step, so you can focus on the strategy, not the infrastructure.
Serious tools for
serious traders.
Every feature was built to answer a real question: does this strategy work, and will it keep working?
Smart Parameter Search
Sweep methodically (grid, Sobol, orthogonal arrays) or evolve toward optima with genetic algorithms, differential evolution, and particle swarm. Find robust regions of interest, not just one lucky combination.
Monte Carlo Stress Testing
Thousands of resampled equity curves with real confidence intervals. See the full distribution of outcomes - not just the one backtest that looked good.
Walk-Forward Analysis
Does your strategy survive on data it's never seen, or does it fall apart the moment you go live?
Pairwise Parameter Landscapes
Interactive 3D surfaces and heatmaps for every parameter pair. Pareto frontiers across competing objectives. See which regions are mountains and which are mirages.
Risk of Ruin
Exact probability calculations at every position size. Know the odds of hitting your drawdown threshold before you commit capital.
Comprehensive Metrics
Every risk-adjusted return metric you'd want: Sharpe, Sortino, K-Ratio, Kelly, Ulcer Index. Trade-level streaks, day-level streaks, long/short splits. Sort and filter your backtest library by any of them.
Full Chart Visualizations
Step through any backtest one trading day at a time. See all the candles at any resolution to inspect individual trades.
Visual + Code Editors
Use your preference of TypeScript, Python, or Blockly (visual code). The AI assistant works with all three, so the flexibility is yours.
Strategy Library & Versioning
Every strategy, every parameter set, every backtest result - versioned and searchable. Compare iterations side by side. Never lose track of what you've already tried.
Easy Export
Export backtest results and full trade logs in simple CSV format for additional analysis.
Share Your Backtests
One-click public links for any backtest. Drop them in Discord or Slack and friends see the full results - drawdown, equity curve, trade table - no account needed.
Team Workspaces & Audit Log
Collaborate on strategies in a team. Every edit, every backtest, tracked in an audit log. Easily add and remove team members as your work evolves over time.
Describe your strategy.
The AI agent builds it.
Tell the assistant what you want. It writes the code, configures parameters, wires up indicators - and validates everything before you touch it.
Full control when you want it. The generated code is always visible, editable, and yours.
Stop guessing.
Start proving.
