Strategy lab

See what risk and costs do to a strategy

Pick a synthetic instrument, set your risk rules and run a simple breakout rule. Every trade is listed so you can see where the result came from. The data is generated, not real.

Want to keep your runs and link them to your journal? Open the lab in your learning area. Nothing on this page places an order or gives a signal.
