Strata
How it works

From an idea to code on your chart — in one loop, on your desk.

Strata’s workflow is one loop: idea → build → validate → replay → export. Scroll through each stage.

Step 01
Idea

Start from the question, not the code.

Most strategies die because the idea was wrong, not because the code was wrong. Strata starts you with the question a good portfolio manager would ask: what edge are you trying to capture — what session, what timeframe, what's your hypothesis for why this works?

Hypothesis
// what edge?
When gold breaks out of a quiet morning with real momentum, the move tends to carry through the session. Buy strength, cut it if the day reverses.
Pin it down: what defines “real momentum” — an RSI threshold, a range multiple, a prior-high break?
Step 02
Build

Compose it from signals — or let Discover search for you.

302 Pine-verified entry signals, entry filters, and a full risk bracket — stop, target, trailing, time exit. Build a strategy by hand in the workbench, or point Discover at the signal pool and let your machine backtest hundreds of candidates against the passer gate, ranked by Strata Score.

Strategy · GC 15m · long + short
entryRSI(10) crosses above 71
filterfresh day: range so far < 0.8× ADR(20)
riskATR stop + target · flat by session close
sessionRTH · 5 trading days
Or skip the picking: Discover backtests 360 candidates from the signal pool and hands back the ranked survivors.
Step 03
Validate

One run. The whole validation suite.

Every backtest gets the full Strata Score V2 suite on the spot: a 70/30 in-sample/out-of-sample holdout, a 200-path Monte Carlo reshuffle of the trade sequence, and a vs-random baseline on the same data. The passer gate — enough trades in both samples, score over the bar — decides what's worth your attention.

Gate: in-sample 259 trades (min 30) · out-of-sample 112 (min 10) · IS score 71 (min 60)
Step 04
Replay

Watch it trade a real session, bar by bar.

Backtesting shouldn't feel like reading a report. Pick any day from the dataset — or hit Mystery and trade a hidden date — and watch the strategy work the tape at 1–8× speed. Replay fills are byte-exact with the backtest engine, so what you watch is what the score measured.

Step 05
Export

Leave with code, not a report.

Every strategy exports as TradingView Pine Script v6, checked against a strict compile gate before it reaches you. Paste it into the Pine editor, add it to the matching chart session, and the logic you validated is the logic on your chart. Your subscription also includes Strata Web for prop-firm rule simulation and portfolio analytics.

overlay=true, calc_on_every_tick=false)
 
rsi_1 = ta.rsi(close, 10)
longCondition = ta.crossover(rsi_1, 71)
Every export passes a strict Pine v6 compile gate — 900+ generated scripts linted on every release.
