Already using one of our specialty trading bots? Backtest Mechanic lets you select a supported bot as your strategy target, see which indicators are compatible, and explore changes within that bot's supported feature set. Build and compare ideas, review trade diagnostics, and use HAL's research workflow to investigate possible improvements.
TrendBot indicator filtering is available as an early compatibility preview. Full native bot replay, verified bot-specific backtesting, and direct import/export of all bot settings are not yet available; a universal-engine test should not be mistaken for an exact reproduction of a specialty bot.
Move beyond rigid historical rules toward intelligent, adaptable strategies—with you deciding how much autonomy to allow.
Your strategies are your intellectual property. Research and run compatible trading tools on your own computer—without unnecessarily publishing your indicators, experiments, or strategy logic to a hosted research platform.
Keep strategy research, settings, and chart work under your control.
Reduce unnecessary third-party access to your research—not the visibility required to place trades.
Purpose-built charts, essential indicators, and deliberate backtests. No indicator overload.
Local operation does not hide orders from your broker, exchange, or market data providers. Security also depends on your device, network, and broker connections.
Your charts. Your strategies. Your backtests. Your bots. Your hardware. Your control.
Purpose-built charts. Essential indicators. The information you need—without the noise.
Ask a question. Test a hypothesis. Diagnose the trades. Change one thing. Retest.
Diagnose failure. Propose a controlled repair. Test whether the evidence supports it.
Research on the bench. Review the settings. Hand off to a compatible trading bot.
You decide who holds the wrench. All three modes use the same research foundation; only HAL's authority changes.
You set the strategy, choose the rules and run the raw scans. HAL doesn't change anything or initiate repair research.
Work shoulder to shoulder with HAL. Discuss the diagnosis, choose the repairs, and approve each research experiment.
Hand HAL the research assignment. It investigates, experiments and reports within the limits you approve.
