Know where your setup works.And when it stops.
Your data points become an indicator. Your indicator becomes your strategy. Then watch it live, next to its test.Your data points become an indicator. Your indicator becomes your strategy. Nothing to rebuild along the way. Start from your own trades or from an idea, see every NQ, ES, Gold and Crude session where it happened with the market around it, check it isn't luck, then watch it live next to its test.

Two ways to use QuantLogic
Improve what you trade. Or build something new.
You already trade
Improve what you already trade
You trade by hand, run a system, or follow alerts from another platform, and you're happy with it. Bring the trades. QuantLogic shows the conditions where they pay and the conditions where they don't, so you know when your way of trading has worked for you and when it's been better to sit out.
- Every finding names its data points, in plain words
- Watch those conditions live on your chart
- Or take them back into your own code, your own platform or the alerts you already follow. Nothing is hidden.
You have an idea
Build a strategy from scratch
Start from an idea, not from trades. Search the data points, keep the ones that hold, and they become your indicator. Add an exit and costs and it becomes your strategy, tested on every session and checked against luck. Then switch on alerts and watch it live next to its test.
- Data points → indicator → strategy, nothing to rebuild
- A different way to build than coding it in your platform
- Line up several and see which still hold
Many traders do both: they sharpen what they already trade, and build new strategies alongside it.
The problem
Every setup works somewhere.None works everywhere.
It depends on the day
The same breakout that pays on a quiet trend morning can give it back on a CPI release or under a gamma wall.
A good run can be luck
Add enough filters and any set of trades looks perfect in hindsight, then does no better on the next ones.
Ideas fade quietly
What held last month can stop holding this month. Most traders only find out from their account balance.
How it works
Build it. Prove it. Watch it hold.
Step 1: Build it from your data points
Start from your own trades, a backtest of your system, or just an idea. Pick the data points you care about: a candle, a VWAP cross, a level, the time of day, the economic calendar. Or ask QuantLogic in plain words. Every session since September 2025 where it happened is put on the market as it was, longs and shorts apart. The data points you keep become your indicator.
- Tradovate or NinjaTrader read-only, TradingView, CSV or Excel
- Or no trades at all: test an idea on every session
Step 2: Prove it isn't luck
Add an exit and costs, and your indicator becomes your strategy: every entry traded with the same rules, with no look-ahead. A result only counts if it clears every check: enough trades, steady over time, and better than shuffled copies of the same results. Each one says plainly whether it beats luck, is worth watching, or could be luck.
Longs · after 10:00 ET · above VWAPBeats luck- Enough trades
- Steady over time
- Big enough to trade
- No look-ahead
Worth watching, not provenCould be luckThe checks every finding has to clear before it is shown.
Step 3: Watch it live, keep it or drop it
Turn on alerts and every closed 1-minute bar where your rules line up is flagged on your chart, with an optional chime and email: in real time on Analyze Live, 15 minutes behind on Analyze. Each strategy keeps its live record next to its test, so you can line up several and see at a glance which still hold to their test and which have stopped. It's how quant desks run their book.
- Nothing is proven until it holds live.
What you can build from
Dozens of entries. Every one on its market.
Pick a starting idea, or describe your own. Every time it happened on NQ, ES, Gold or Crude since September 2025 is laid out with the data points around it, so you see where it holds and where it doesn't.

Ask QuantLogic turns it into rules you can read, test and change.
Improve without curve fitting
Don't curve-fit your indicator as you improve it
Every trader adjusts their trading. The trap: add enough filters and any book of trades looks perfect in hindsight, then does no better on the next trades. QuantLogic looks for improvements in your own trades, and a finding has to clear every one of these checks before What works shows it.
Millions of calculations, one simple answer
Behind every answer, Ask QuantLogic does the heavy lifting so you don't have to. Each search tests every market condition of your trades, and pairs of them, on longs and shorts separately, then runs the whole search again on shuffled copies of your results. You see only what is left standing.
- 50+
- market conditions on every trade, as they were when you entered
- Tens of thousands
- possible rules tested in one search of a typical book
- 200
- shuffled copies of your results that every rule must beat
- Seconds
- to score tens of millions of rules against luck, about the time it takes to read this sentence
Enough trades
A finding needs 100 trades or more. With fewer, it is only named as worth watching until it has more.
Steady over time
It must beat your own trades in both halves of your sessions, not in one lucky stretch.
Beats luck
The whole search runs again on 200 shuffled copies of your results. A finding counts only if it beats the best rule each shuffled search finds, in at least 95% of them.
Big enough to trade
It must average at least 4 points per contract on NQ, or 2 on ES, or it is named too thin to survive slippage.
No look-ahead
Every data point uses only what was known when you entered the trade. Exits are simulated forward, bar by bar.
Not proven yet
A new indicator says so until its own flags since you built it back it up, and shows how it did on the last third of your sessions.
What the Beats luck? button does
Press Beats luck? in the Filters bar, on your selection or on any indicator card. It shuffles your trades' results 200 times: each trade keeps its market conditions, but the wins and losses are dealt out at random. Each time, it finds the best result anything on the page could have shown by chance, your own selection or any row of any data-point card. Your real selection has to do better in at least 190 of the 200 shuffles. With fewer than 10 trades it says there are too few to tell.
- Beats luck
- It did better than the best row any card showed on shuffled results, so it holds up even though you picked it after looking at every card.
- Beats luck as a planned rule
- It beat random trades but not every card. Trust it only if you chose it for a market reason before looking, like the time of day or the open.
- Could be luck
- Shuffled results did as well too often. Keep it as an idea and wait for more trades.
We recommend picking data points by hand
What works can point you to a selection, but you understand your indicator best when you build it yourself. Add one data point at a time, watch what it does to win rate, profit factor and drawdown, and keep only what has a market reason. Then press Beats luck? to check the selection you built against shuffled results. You will know why every filter is there, and when to stop trusting it.
