Backtests that flatter
A single equity curve can hide a lot. Our reports show the risk taken, the effect of fees and luck, and let you test on markets with no built-in trend, so a strategy has to earn its result.
About
Serious strategy research, without giving up control.
Control Trading Lab builds tools to design a trading strategy, test it honestly and run it from your own machine, without handing over your keys or your funds.
Why we built it
Three problems we wanted to fix
Keys held by third parties
A bot hosted in someone else's cloud needs your exchange keys on their servers. Our client runs on your machine and your keys never reach our servers.
Code as a barrier
Good ideas should not need a programming course. Strategies are built from readable blocks, and every rule stays understandable.
Principles
How we work
No promises of profit
Backtests are simulations. We never show return projections, and every result is labelled for what it is.
Privacy first
No third-party trackers on this site, analytics only with your consent, and account deletion from Settings at any time.
Software, not advice
We provide tools. We are not an investment adviser or a broker, and every trading decision stays yours.
Where we are
Open to everyone, paid plans coming soon
