Dive Deeper into Jesse's Capabilities

Stupid Simple

Craft complex trading strategies with remarkably simple Python. Access 300+ indicators, multi-symbol/timeframe support, spot/futures trading, partial fills, and risk management tools. Focus on logic, not boilerplate.

class GoldenCross(Strategy):
    def should_long(self):
        # go long when the EMA 8 is above the EMA 21
        short_ema = ta.ema(self.candles, 8)
        long_ema = ta.ema(self.candles, 21)
        return short_ema > long_ema

    def go_long(self):
        entry_price = self.price - 10        # limit buy order at $10 below the current price
        qty = utils.size_to_qty(self.balance*0.05, entry_price) # spend only 5% of my total capital
        self.buy = qty, entry_price                 # submit entry order
        self.take_profit = qty, entry_price*1.2  # take profit at 20% above the entry price
        self.stop_loss = qty, entry_price*0.9   # stop loss at 10% below the entry price

Backtest

Execute highly accurate and fast backtests without look-ahead bias. Utilize debugging logs, interactive charts with indicator support, and detailed performance metrics to validate your strategies thoroughly.

Live/Paper Trading

Deploy strategies live with robust monitoring tools. Supports paper trading, multiple accounts, real-time logs & notifications (Telegram, Slack, Discord), interactive charts, spot/futures, DEX, and a built-in code editor.

Benchmark

Accelerate research using the benchmark feature. Run batch backtests, compare across timeframes, symbols, and strategies. Filter and sort results by key performance metrics for efficient analysis.

AI

Leverage our AI assistant even with limited Python knowledge. Get help writing and improving strategies, implementing ideas, debugging, optimizing, and understanding code. Your personal AI quant.

Optimize Your Strategies

Unsure about optimal parameters? Let the optimization mode decide using simple syntax. Fine-tune any strategy parameter with the Optuna library and easy cross-validation.

def slow_sma(self):
    return ta.sma(self.candles, self.hp['slow_sma_period'])

@property
def fast_sma(self):
    return ta.sma(self.candles, self.hp['fast_sma_period'])

def hyperparameters(self):
    return [
        {'name': 'slow_sma_period', 'type': int, 'min': 150, 'max': 210, 'default': 200},
        {'name': 'fast_sma_period', 'type': int, 'min': 20, 'max': 100, 'default': 50},
    ]
