Three ways in

Start from wherever you are

  1. Describing a strategy in plain words

    Describe it

    Type your strategy in plain words. Wildflower asks until every rule is exact.

  2. Building a strategy from blocks

    Build it from blocks

    Put it together from building blocks, like fair value gaps, swing highs and moving averages.

  3. Bringing an indicator into Backtest

    From your indicator

    Press “Backtest this” on any indicator you’ve built. We only ask for what a trade needs, like your risk per trade.

Your chart

Start with the chart you already use

Open a chart file exported from TradingView, NinjaTrader, MetaTrader or any spreadsheet. Wildflower shows you the market, candle size and time zone it found before you run anything.

No file yet? Try it straight away on the practice chart.

Every trade

See every trade and the rule behind it

Every trade is drawn on the chart with its entry, stop and target. Tap one to see the rule that opened it and the rule that closed it. Pick any candle to see which rule wasn’t met.

Add your own commission per contract and slippage in ticks, so every trade includes the costs you set. If one candle touches both your stop and your target, it counts the stop.

Compare

Change one rule. Compare both.

Run two versions side by side and see exactly which trades changed.

Replay

Or step through it and trade it yourself

Step through history candle by candle. When your rules find a trade, you take it or skip it. Or place your own.
