Describe a strategy in plain English. NightShift Trader turns it into exact rules, backtests it on years of real market data, then runs it as a 24/7 agent on a $100k paper account. You see the truth before your money does.
The problem
Signal & alert bots
tell you a setup exists.
Not whether following it ever made money.
AI chatbots
sound confident about any chart.
Ask again tomorrow and get a different answer.
Charting platforms
show you everything.
Then leave the testing — and the coding — to you.
NightShift Trader closes the loop: idea → exact rules → years of evidence → automated execution, in one workspace. No code. No guesswork.
How it works
01
Write your idea the way you'd explain it to another trader. “Buy pullbacks in an uptrend, stop at 2× ATR.”
02
AI compiles it into exact, deterministic rules you can read and edit. Nothing hidden in a black box.
03
Backtest across 1, 2 or 5 years of real data. Equity curve, drawdown, win rate and every trade — benchmarked against buy & hold.
04
One click turns it into an agent that watches the market 24/7 and trades a $100k paper account for you.
Built like a trading desk
Flattering backtests are easy to make and expensive to believe. Our engine follows the rules professional quants use, so the numbers you see are numbers you can trust.
No lookahead
Signals use only data available at that bar’s close. Long indicators like the 200-day are warmed up on prior history first.
Realistic fills
Stops and targets are checked against each bar’s high and low. Gap through your stop? You fill at the open, like real life.
Risk is required
A strategy can’t be saved without an exit — a sell rule, a stop loss, or a target. Every position has a plan.
Always benchmarked
Every backtest is plotted against simply buying and holding. If your idea doesn’t beat it, you’ll know.
Deterministic
AI writes the rules once; plain math executes them. Same data in, same trades out — every time.
Paper first
Agents prove themselves on a simulated $100k account before a single real dollar is at stake.
