Quanify Lab: build, test and run a trading strategy
Quanify Lab is a strategy builder in development. It will let you write a rule, test it and route it live in one place, without rebuilding it for each tool. It isn't released yet.
One strategy from first draft to live account
A strategy usually passes through three tools before it trades: one to write it, one to test it, one to execute it. Each has its own data, fills and costs, and the live version ends up a hand translation of the tested one.
- BuildDefine the rule once, in the place it will be tested and executed from.
- TestRun it over history with your own commission and slippage. The same engine that will trade it.
- ForwardAttach a paper account and let it run on live signals before any money is involved.
- RoutePoint it at real accounts. Same rule, same engine, nothing rewritten.
No export, no re-implementation, and no second version of the strategy to keep in sync.
Where Lab sits next to Automation and Replay
| Quanify Lab | Quanify Replay | Automation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Job | Write the rule | Test it and review your fills | Execute it on your accounts |
| Status | In development | In development | Available now |
| What to use today | Any tool that sends an HTTP POST | Quanify Paper accounts | Automation itself |
Automation is the execution layer under both. Quanify Replay covers testing and review.
Planned: one engine for testing and live trading
Separate backtest and live programs eventually disagree, and the difference shows up in P&L rather than as an error.
- Same sizing everywhere
- Whole-number multipliers applied the same way in test and live, so a tested size is the size you get.
- Costs from the start
- Commission and slippage per side, set by you and applied during testing.
- Power stays off
- A strategy that passes a test doesn't start trading. It's created powered off, every account disabled.
When Quanify Lab will be available
It's in development with no announced date. Nothing on this page is a feature you can use today, and the page will change when that does.
Until then, build a strategy anywhere that sends an HTTP POST, route it with Automation and forward-test it on a paper account with your own costs.
Quanify ReplayCommon questions
Short answers to what traders ask first. Anything else, the Help Center has it.
What is Quanify Lab?
A strategy builder in development for the Quanify platform, where a rule is written, tested on history and routed to live accounts as one strategy.
Is Quanify Lab available yet?
No. It's in development with no announced date.
Why does it matter that testing and execution share an engine?
Two separate implementations of the same rules eventually disagree. Bar timing, partial fills, duplicates, rolls and gaps are all places where a backtester and live router can differ.
Can I build strategies on Quanify today?
Not inside Quanify yet. Anything that sends an HTTP POST can drive a strategy, and you can forward-test it on a paper account with your own costs.
How does Lab relate to Quanify Replay?
Lab is where a strategy is written; Replay is where it's tested and your executions reviewed. Automation is the execution layer under both.
Will strategies built in Lab be private?
Yes. Strategies you build are visible only to you, as they are today. Publishing one to the library is a separate step.
