Find out if your trading bot actually works — before you fund it

Send us your bot. We replay it over years of real market data and send back a plain-English verdict: can it trade, did it ever have an edge, and do fees quietly kill it.

Why this exists

I ran three trading bots for weeks — two on a cloud server, one on my laptop. Combined, they took zero trades. I assumed it was a slow market and kept paying for the server.

It wasn't a slow market. One bot had a take-profit set below its entry price — it could never book a winning trade. Another had a timer that could never complete. Over a year of data they detected 184 valid setups and killed 100% of them before placing an order. I was about to fund them with real money.

So I built a proper testing pipeline and put every bot through it. Most failed. Now I run that same pipeline for you — so you find out in a report, not in your account balance.

What you get

One report. Three hard questions answered.

01

Can it trade?

A full code audit that finds the bugs and logic flaws that make placing a trade impossible — the kind no amount of tuning fixes.

02

Did it have an edge?

A multi-year backtest on real market data, with win rate, drawdowns, and an honest comparison against simply buying and holding.

03

Do fees kill it?

Fee and robustness stress tests — because the strategy that looks great at zero cost often bleeds out once real fees and slippage hit.

How it works

From submission to verdict in about 48 hours

Submit your bot

Upload your code or strategy rules through a short form. Strip your API keys first — we never need them.

We confirm scope & you pay

We check it's something we can properly test, then send a secure payment link. Flat fee, agreed up front.

We run the pipeline

Code audit, multi-year backtest, and stress tests — the same process that caught the bugs in my own bots.

You get the verdict

A clear PDF report: deploy it, fix these specific things, or retire it. Every number reproducible from your own code.

Every report ends in a clear verdict

Four outcomes. No vague maybes.

Mechanically broken

The code can't place valid trades. No tuning fixes it.

No historical edge

It trades fine, but had no edge over years of data.

Edge with caveats

A real edge, but fragile — fee-sensitive or regime-dependent.

Validated

Holds up across the full test battery, costs included.

How to start

Send your bot — it takes two minutes

Fill the short intake form and attach your files. You'll get a reply within a day with a payment link and turnaround.

What to include

Your name, the market it trades, what it does, and what you want answered.

What to attach

Your bot's code (zip the folder) or your written strategy rules.

One safety step

Remove any API keys or passwords first — we never need them.

🛡️

Why you can trust the verdict. We don't sell bots, and we're paid the same flat fee whether the news is good or bad. There's no incentive to tell you anything but the truth — and the entire report is reproducible by replaying your own code against public market data.

Your code stays yours

We audit bots — we don't keep them, reuse them, or build our own

The whole reason this exists is that we got burned by our own bots and built a testing tool. We're a validation service, not a strategy shop. Your edge is safe here — and here's exactly how:

Deleted within 7 days

Your submitted code and files are purged from our systems within 7 days of delivering your report — automatically. We keep only the anonymized verdict, never your source.

Never reused or shared

We don't use submissions to build our own bots, and we never share your code with anyone. Any public teardown is fully anonymized — no names, no code.

No keys, ever

We only need your code or rules — never your exchange API keys. Anyone who asks for your live trading keys to "check" a bot is a red flag.

Questions

Is my strategy safe if I send you the code?

Yes. Your files are deleted within 7 days of delivery (automatically — it's a scheduled job, not a promise we have to remember), never reused to build our own bots, and never shared. We keep only the anonymized verdict for our records, never your source. Our business is auditing bots, not competing with you. If you'd rather not send full source, you can submit your strategy logic in plain English for a logic review — though a full code audit catches implementation bugs that pseudocode can't.

What kinds of bots can you test?

Best results come from readable source code (Python especially). We can also backtest the stated rules of a compiled or paid bot, or evaluate a written strategy you haven't coded yet. Crypto markets are supported today; ask about stocks/forex.

Do you need my exchange API keys?

Never. We analyze your code and replay it on historical data. If anyone asks for your live trading keys to "check" a bot, that's a red flag. Please remove any keys from your files before sending.

Is this financial advice?

No. This is educational analysis of software you own. We report what your bot did against historical data and how it's built. We never predict future profits, and past performance does not predict future results.

What if my bot is actually good?

Then the report says so, with the evidence — and you deploy with confidence instead of hope. We're paid the same either way, so a positive verdict means something.
