How Strategiz Works
From an idea in plain English to an instant alert on your phone — in five steps
Create Your Account
Sign up with an email address or a supported OAuth provider, then secure the account with a passkey, an authenticator app, or emailed one-time codes. The free Explorer plan needs no credit card.
Build Your Strategy
Three ways to express the same idea: describe it in plain English and let the AI draft it, assemble it visually from drag-and-drop rule blocks, or write the Python yourself. Every strategy is yours to edit, version, and keep.
Backtest It Against Historical Market Data
Replay the strategy over historical bars — equities from Alpaca and Financial Modeling Prep, crypto from Binance.US — and read the resulting trade log and performance metrics. Backtest results are hypothetical and are not a prediction of future results.
Deploy It as a Live Alert
When a strategy is ready, deploy it as an alert instead of a backtest. Strategiz then watches the market on your behalf and evaluates the strategy’s conditions against live data, continuously, without you sitting in front of a chart.
Get Notified the Moment It Fires
The instant the conditions are met, the alert reaches you — SMS, push notification on the Strategiz mobile app, email, and in-app. Strategiz does not place the trade: it tells you what triggered and when, and the decision stays yours.
Strategiz does not execute trades. There is no auto-trading, no order placement, and no connected brokerage account required — a deployed strategy raises an alert and stops there. Backtest results are hypothetical simulations over past data, not a forecast. Strategiz is a research tool, not a broker, investment adviser, or portfolio manager, and nothing here is financial advice.
Powerful Features
AI-Powered Strategy Generation
Describe a trading idea in plain English and Strategiz drafts the strategy — and the Python behind it — for you to review, edit, and test.
Visual Rule Blocks or Python
Compose entry, exit, and filter rules with drag-and-drop blocks, or drop straight into Python when a rule needs real logic behind it.
Backtesting on Historical Data
Replay a strategy over historical market data and inspect it trade by trade. Results are hypothetical and describe the past, not the future.
Instant Alerts, Not Auto-Trading
A deployed strategy watches live market data and fires the moment its conditions are met. It notifies you — it never places an order on your behalf.
Alerts That Reach You Anywhere
SMS, push notifications through the Strategiz mobile app, email, and in-app — so a trigger at 10:31am does not become news at 4pm.
Security by Default
Encryption in transit and at rest, HashiCorp Vault for secret management, and sign-in hardened with passkeys, authenticator apps, or emailed one-time codes.

How Far Back Our Market Data Goes
Every backtest is only as good as the price history behind it. Here is exactly what we hold, so you can judge for yourself.
Timeframe | How far back | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
1 minute | 2 years | Alpaca SIP — the full US consolidated tape. US stocks and ETFs only, no crypto. |
5 minutes | 10+ years | Alpaca SIP for US stocks and ETFs, Binance.US for crypto. Bought as-is, not calculated. |
15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours | 10+ years | Calculated by us from the 5-minute bars. |
1 day | 10+ years | Financial Modeling Prep for stocks and ETFs. Calculated from the 5-minute bars for crypto. |
1 week, 1 month | 10+ years | Calculated by us from the daily bars. |
Three things worth knowing before you trust a number on this site.
- “10+ years” is a ceiling, not a promise for every symbol.A company that listed in 2021 has five years of history, not ten. We only ever show you bars that actually exist — we do not pad them, estimate them, or fill in the gaps.
- One-minute bars stop at two years on purpose.Minute data is enormous. Two years covers more than one kind of market, which is enough to test a fast strategy against, so we delete what is older rather than pass on the cost of storage you would rarely use.
- Most bars are calculated, not purchased.We buy two things: 5-minute bars and daily stock bars. Everything else above — 15 minutes through 4 hours, weekly, monthly, and daily crypto — we build by adding those up. The arithmetic is exact, but it means every intraday bar traces back to one source. If that source is wrong for a symbol on a given day, all of our intraday bars are wrong together for that symbol that day.
The oldest bars we hold today: 5-minute from 17 December 2015, the calculated 15-minute through 4-hour bars from 1 January 2016, and daily from 10 February 2016. Around 9,150 symbols have intraday history and around 9,550 have daily history.
