Prove it works.
Then trade it.
Portfolio backtesting, walk-forward optimisation and strategy validation in one desktop app, and Claude can run every step of it for you through MCP. When a strategy earns real money, trade it through the connectors we ship, one you write yourself, or one we build for you.

Not features. A way to know.
Coding a strategy is no longer the hard part. Knowing whether it holds is. Everything on this page serves that one question, and every step can be handed to Claude.
One strategy.
The whole list.
An edge that only shows up on one instrument is usually luck. Run a strategy, or several, across an entire instrument list in one go, score every instrument on its own, and roll it all up into a single portfolio view with its equity curve and drawdown.
- apply one strategy to every instrument
- market, stop and limit fills · commissions
- all · long · short
- portfolio equity and drawdown, per instrument and combined
Optimise without
fooling yourself.
Every parameter set is chosen on one stretch of data and judged on the next stretch, which it never saw. Roll that forward through the history and stitch the unseen parts together: what you get is the result you could actually have had.
- full and genetic search on every core
- same seed, same result, on any machine
- rolling in-sample / out-of-sample periods
- your own fitness function
A clear keep
or drop.
In-sample and out-of-sample figures sit side by side for every period, so a strategy that only works on the data it was fitted to shows itself early. Keep the evidence: every run is saved, can be reopened later, continued up to today, and exported as a PDF research report.
- in-sample vs out-of-sample, per period
- best candidates ranked per period
- saved runs · continue to today
- PDF research report
Hand Claude the whole loop.
The app runs an MCP server on your machine. Claude connects to it and works with the real thing: it writes and compiles your scripts, sets up the backtester and the optimizer, runs them, reads the results back and tells you what it sees. You decide what goes live.
you · Take the MA crossover, walk-forward it on my micros list over the last year and tell me if it holds out of sample.

claude · In-sample it looks strong everywhere. Out of sample it only holds on one instrument, and the best parameters jump between periods. I would drop it as it is. Want me to try a slower filter and rerun?
you · Yes, and export the report.

Write and fix code
Strategies and indicators in plain C#. Claude writes them, compiles them in the app and fixes what does not compile.
Run the backtests
Builds the instrument list, applies the strategy, runs it and reads back the summary, trades and orders.
Run the walk-forward
Sets the periods, the search and the fitness, runs it and compares in-sample against out-of-sample.
Report back
Explains where the drawdown came from, what changed between runs, and exports the PDF.
Trade it where you trade.
A strategy that passed goes live from the same app, on a chart, on the book or from the Control Center. AlgoDesk talks to brokers, exchanges and data feeds through connectors, and takes your own historical data as CSV or Parquet files. You are never stuck with the ones on our list.

The plain answers.
- Which assistant?
- Claude, with your own Claude account; any MCP-capable client can connect the same way. The MCP server runs inside the app on your machine and only reaches what the app exposes to it.
- One account, one machine
- The app remembers the computer it first signs in on. That is what keeps one licence to one desk.
- New computer?
- Clear the machine ID in your account, then sign in on the new machine. Your scripts and results stay where they are.
- Cancelling
- One button in your account. The plan runs to the end of what you paid for, then stops.
- Running a business?
- If you want the platform under your own brand, or its source code, that is White Label or Source. See the offers or talk to us.
