About Simula
Simula is a web-based, no-code workspace for designing and evaluating trading strategies. Traders build strategies visually by selecting indicators and conditions, then backtest them against historical data for forex, cryptocurrency, and U.S. stocks. Data includes candles as short as one minute for forex, crypto, and the largest U.S. stocks. Users can review results with Monte Carlo simulation, walk-forward analysis, and parameter optimization, and account for commissions, spreads, and slippage on eligible plans. Strategy alerts can be sent to Slack, Discord, and Telegram. Simula is intended for traders who want to develop, compare, and refine systematic strategy ideas without writing code, and assess historical performance before deciding whether to trade. The online application combines strategy design, backtesting, analysis, and alert management.

AlphaPrime
AlphaPrime is Windows desktop software for researching systematic trading strategies in futures and forex markets. Users set a market, timeframe, test period, costs, and rule conditions; the software generates strategy candidates, backtests them, and filters results against user-defined criteria. Reports include net profit, drawdown, and profit factor. Out-of-sample, walk-forward, and Monte Carlo checks help assess strategy behavior. Generated source code can be exported for MultiCharts, TradingView, TradeStation, NinjaTrader, MetaTrader 4, and MetaTrader 5, then reviewed and run in those platforms. The Classic edition uses CPU processing; Reserve adds NVIDIA GPU acceleration and batch workflows. AlphaPrime supports research, not order execution. A seven-day trial is available without a credit card. Paid licenses include one year of updates, with later updates optional. Backtests do not predict future results. AlphaPrime by Valynox, an NVIDIA Inception program member.
