QuantRunner provides powerful tools for creating and backtesting trading strategies that you can use without significant technical ability. Developing profitable trading strategies is difficult. Serious investors need tools to make the process easier. QuantRunner offers tools designed for investors who want to test their theories of the market, not their patience for learning a programming language. QuantRunnerPRO lets you spend less time testing your strategies and more time trading.

Test Your Strategies Before Risking Your Money

QuantRunner allows you to see how your investment strategy would have fared historically compared to the market. Our visual strategy editor and powerful testing engine gives you the ability to perform such tests in minutes.

You may think a good strategy is to:

  • Short an airline stock when:
    • the company has had negative earnings for three straight quarters (fundamental), and
    • the stock is trading at over 90% of its 52 week high (technical), and
    • oil is over $60/barrel (commodities), and
    • 10 year Treasuries are yielding less than 6% (macroeconomic).
  • ...and then cover your position when:
    • the stock price has declined by 20% since execution (technical), or
    • the stock price has increased by 5% since execution (technical), or
    • the company's book equity has declined (fundamental), or
    • oil prices have declined by 10% since the trade date (commodities), or
    • 10 year Treasuries have increased by 0.50% since the trade date (macroeconomic).

Which stocks would you have traded in the past under those assumptions? In what time periods would you have picked more winners than losers? How much money would you have made? Would you have done better simply buying an index? It takes minutes to enter these criteria and have the answers. **
