BacktestLoop
Turn trading ideas into real Python backtests
BacktestLoop turns plain-English trading ideas into editable Python backtests. Generate strategy code, run it on historical stock, futures, forex, or crypto data, then inspect trades, equity curves, logs, drawdowns, and risk metrics. It is built for traders and quant builders who want a faster research loop without setting up their own data and backtesting pipeline.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built BacktestLoop because testing trading ideas is still way more annoying than it should be.
Usually, you either need to write the whole strategy yourself, wire up historical data, handle indicators/timeframes/fees, debug the backtest engine, and then figure out whether the result is actually trustworthy — or you use a no-code tool that hides too much of the logic.
BacktestLoop is my attempt at a faster research loop:
1. Describe a trading strategy in plain English
2. Generate editable Python strategy code
3. Run the backtest on historical stocks, futures, forex, or crypto data
4. Inspect the trades, logs, equity curve, drawdown, and risk metrics
5. Iterate from there
The key thing is that it is not a black box. The generated code is visible and editable, so you can inspect what is actually being tested.
Important note: BacktestLoop is research software only. It is not a signal service, not a brokerage, not copy trading, and not investment advice.
I’d love feedback from traders, Python users, quant builders, and anyone who has tried to backtest strategies before.
