AlgoLift answers one question about a trading strategy: given what you want from it, will it get there, or did it get lucky? You build the strategy without code, test it on market history, and every result tells you how much evidence stands behind it.
What AlgoLift does
Most backtesting tools stop at an equity curve. A curve is one history, and one history can flatter almost any idea. AlgoLift treats your first backtest as the start of the evidence, never the verdict:
- It re-deals your trades thousands of ways, to see how much of the result came from the order they happened to arrive in.
- For a prop firm account, it runs those trades through the firm's own rules, from loss limits to payouts.
- It grades settings you tuned on months the tuning never saw.
- It sets the most recent months of your data aside when you create a project, so the final test can run on months none of your work has touched.
Each project's Scorecard weighs all of it and answers your goal's question with the evidence so far. A backtest on its own counts for nothing there: it is the anchor the other tests build on.
Who it is for
Prop firm traders. If you trade an evaluation or a funded account, AlgoLift simulates your strategy under the firm's rules. Depending on your goal, it tells you your chance of passing, what a funded account pays out, or what a year of the whole cycle nets after fees.
Anyone trading their own capital. The Standard goal drops the firm rules and asks one question: is this edge real?
You don't need to write code. You build a strategy from blocks on a canvas, or describe it to the copilot and review what it builds.
Where to start
- New to AlgoLift? Read How AlgoLift Works for the idea, then build Your First Project, from an empty dashboard to a first result.
- Looking something up? Search the guide with ⇧S or CtrlK, or open the node reference, the indicators or the Glossary.
- Checking how the tests work? How the Simulation Works covers how a backtest fills orders, what it charges, and what it leaves out.
What AlgoLift does not do
It does not place trades for you today. Running a finished strategy from your own computer is planned as the AlgoLift Desk, and its stage shows as locked until it ships.
