"I tested a setup I'd been running for two years. The drawdown hit 24% in a stretch I'd forgotten about. Stopped trading it as my A-setup that night."

What is Strathos
The trader's strategy lab.
If you've been wondering what this thing actually is, here it is in three sentences.
Strathos turns the way you trade into a system you can test.
Your strategy stops living across screenshots and notes. It becomes a flow of rules you can run, prove, and repeat.
Drag the rules into a flow. Hit run. See if your edge actually makes money.
Filters, setups, entries, exits, risk. 47,759 candles of real market data crunched in 11 seconds. No code, no spreadsheets, no signals.
When the setup forms live, your phone buzzes.
Strathos watches the market for you. You take the trade. We never auto-execute.
From the beta cohort
What traders testing Strathos are saying.
Real beta testers. Real strategies.
“I tested a setup I'd been running for two years. The drawdown hit 24% in a stretch I'd forgotten about. Stopped trading it as my A-setup that night.”
— Marcus D.
“Every Discord screenshot I'd ever taken just showed the wins. Strathos showed me the drawdown right next to the return. First time I actually understood the risk profile of a strategy I'd been trading live.”
— Elias H.
“I spent an entire Sunday last month manually backtesting one strategy in a spreadsheet. With Strathos I ran the same strategy in eleven seconds. Then I ran four more before lunch.”
— Amir S.
“I was at lunch with my girlfriend when my phone buzzed. My Range Breakout strategy was forming on NQ. I would have missed it. Took the trade from my phone.”
— Douglass W.
“I'd dismissed a low-win-rate setup for years. Strathos showed me the expectancy was actually positive — the average winner was three times the average loser. Now it's in my playbook.”
— Cole K.
“I was paying for two trading Discords. Cancelled both the week I started testing my own strategies in Strathos. Why would I follow someone else's setups when I can prove out my own?”
— Zac B.
“First version of my strategy had a 22% drawdown. I changed two blocks — tightened the stop, added a session filter — and ran it again. Got the drawdown to twelve percent without killing the returns. That's the version I trade now.”
— Michael G.
“My strategy used to live across screenshots, TradingView templates, and a Notion doc nobody could read. Now it's one flow with seven blocks. I can show it to my trading partner in thirty seconds.”
— Benjamin B.

Why we built this
For years, only quant desks could test whether a strategy actually worked.
Everyone else ran setups blind. Screenshots, Discord pings, gut feel — then a slow bleed when the strategy never had the edge they thought it did.
We built Strathos to change that — giving every trader the testing toolbox the desks have.
We built Strathos so every trader gets the same toolbox the desks have. Build your strategy from blocks. Test it in 11 seconds against real market data. Get pinged when it forms live. The ones that work, work. The ones that don't, you find out before they blow up your account.
No signals. No black box. Reply to any email and a human reads it — usually same day.
— Connor & Daniel, founders
Anatomy of a Strathos strategy
A pullback continuation, fully assembled — and backtested.
This is how a trader expresses an edge in Strathos: every component configurable, every rule precise, every flow repeatable. Then it runs against real market data and you see exactly what it would have done.

What should Strathos build next?
Drop your name and what you want. We read every one — and we ship the good ideas.
Honest about scope
What Strathos is not.
The trading-tools category is full of overpromises. Here's what we'll never claim.
A signal service
We don't tell you when to enter. You build the rules; the rules trigger you.
A trading bot
Strathos doesn't place orders. Execution stays with you and your broker.
A trading Discord
No room full of strangers. Your playbook is yours, and it doesn't move with the herd.
A basic journal
Journals describe what you did. Strathos structures what you'll do, before you do it.
A black-box AI
Every threshold is editable, every block is auditable. AI accelerates user-defined logic, not the other way around.
A profit guarantee
Strathos structures and tests your edge. It can't manufacture one. The discipline stays yours.
FAQ
Honest answers.
Is Strathos a signal service?+
No. Strathos doesn't generate signals. You build your own strategies from modular components. We give you the workspace; the edge is yours.
Will it auto-trade for me?+
No. Strathos builds, tests, and monitors your strategies. Execution stays with you and your broker. Broker hooks may come later, opt-in.
Does it support ICT / SMC concepts natively?+
Yes. FVG, IFVG, order blocks, breakers, BOS, CHoCH, OTE, kill zones, liquidity sweeps, judas swings, premium/discount, and PD arrays are first-class blocks. Orderflow concepts and standard indicators are built in too.
What markets are supported?+
Futures, indices, stocks, and currencies. The instruments serious discretionary traders actually trade. Markup, blocks, backtests, and alerts work across all of them.
Can I really backtest my strategy?+
Yes. Compose your blocks, hit run, and Strathos crunches through tens of thousands of candles of real market data. Typically 47,759 candles in around 11 seconds. You get a trade-by-trade ledger, not a single summary number.
Which metrics does the backtest surface?+
The ones that actually decide whether you can survive a strategy: total return, max drawdown (the metric Discords hide), profit factor, expectancy per trade, win rate, average R, sample size, every entry and exit. The same metrics professional desks use to greenlight a system.
How honest are the backtest results?+
Brutally. If a strategy looks like +102% on paper but has a 28% drawdown that would have wiped you out emotionally before the recovery, we show you the drawdown right next to the return. The whole point is to find the strategy that fits your account, not the one that looks best in screenshots.
What can the live alerts watch for?+
Anything you can express as a Strathos strategy. Build the rules once, save to your playbook, and Strathos monitors live market data and pings you the moment a setup matching your strategy is forming. SMS, email, push. You take the trade. We never auto-execute.
When does the beta open?+
Coming soon. Early waitlist members get founder pricing; the rest roll out in waves. Earlier signups and more referrals move you up the queue.
Build it. Backtest it. Get pinged when it forms.
